Luke Christopher

Luke Christopher grew up in the San Fernando Valley and, as a kid, he was influenced by the likes of Michael Jackson, Elton John, Kanye West, Mos Def, Stevie Wonder, and John Mayer.

As a teenager, he started recording tracks with his brother and cousin in GarageBand. After graduating from high school, he was accepted by the University of Southern California, but he did not attend in order to pursue his music career. Dropping out of college is what influenced his story telling style of rapping.

Before releasing his first mixtape, Christopher had released several songs, including "Roof Tops", a song featuring Asher Roth.
