Manchester born Luke has a gospel heritage. In 2006 Luke began his long-standing role as keyboardist in George Michael's band. He was front and centre at Michaels “come back” world tour, the ‘25 Live’ tour which entertained over 650,000 ecstatic fans over the course of a 49 date tour in 11 different countries. This was followed by George Michael creating history as the first artist to play a concert at the then new Wembley Stadium on 9 June 2007.
As a songwriter he co-wrote with the late Amy Winehouse on the Frank LP (“Take The Box” and “What it is About Men”), The Sugarbabes “One Foot In the One foot out” and Liberty X “Greed”.
Luke Smith’s organ, piano and keyboard playing is not just great musicianship but also, a journey through contemporary black music. It is the story of immigrant communities and the influence of a melting pot of cultures and styles in contemporary music.
