Biography

'Unsigned Artist of the Week' -www. tunetribe.com (Nov '07)

Luke Kaden is a confident, assured artist who has a canon of songs that have a timeless quality, yet with a distinctly melancholy feel,” Pop Junkie.

He is a dynamic young troubadour with a classic rock voice who moulds slow moving ballads, melodic rock and catchy toe-tappers, all fashioned in the vein of great songwriters past and present.

After growing up in Australia - where he successfully released the EP ‘Rain down on me’(Produced by Chris Neehause – The Go Betweens/ Powderfinger) - followed by stints living in France and the States, he’s now settled in the UK.

Since being in London, Luke has teamed up with producer Richard Mathews (The Rakes/ Futureheads) to record the double A-side single Hide [need you tonight]/Lost in lights (available globally from iTunes), the press describing it as:

“A pop ode to an absent partner, while the flipside is a slow-burning balled with mournful cello.”

His catchy rock tunes and heartfelt ballads deal with despair; hope; the mess the world finds itself in and the need to find a common ground; lost friendship; found love; standing tall and fighting back against it all.

Influenced by the songwriting of Ryan Adams, Noel Gallagher, Jeff Buckley and David Gray, high-calibre bands The Verve, U2 and The Police, while genre-wise, American punk-rock, alt-country, Britpop, and rock all help to form his output.

A 10-date tour of France in late 2006, and another to Spain and France (2007), were supported by National (RTL2) and regional radio play in France, while his melodic rock/Alt.-pop music is gaining plays on terrestrial and web radio around the world.

His early material has been played on Australian National television and recent interviews are stoking interest in the UK and Europe.
