Luke Burazin is a 20-year-old, classically-trained vocalist and self-taught trumpet/keys player. Luke dabbles in musical styles such as jazz, R&B, soul, and funk to create his sound. Luke draws inspiration from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Mel Tormé, Joe Williams, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, Prince, D'Angelo, Morris Day, Bill Withers, James Brown and many more to create his sound.
At age 17, Luke began his professional music career by singing with the Etobicoke Jazz Band and the Toronto All-Star Big Band. Shortly after, he began learning standards from the jazz repertoire, expanding his knowledge of arranged and improvised music. Luke regularly performs at multiple venues across the GTA, including Function Bar, The Emmet Ray, Manhattans Bistro, Brothers Brewing Company, The Opus Lounge, and many more. Other notable performance locations include the Toronto Jazz Festival, Hillside Music Festival, and JazzInToronto’s “Jazz in The Junction” series. When Luke is not singing with a big band, he performs with his “Eulipions” or his “Battalion.” Two labels he created for himself and musicians in his various jazz and funk-oriented combos. Having performed in Toronto and Guelph, Luke hopes to continue performing across the GTA's music scene and provide audiences with music that they will love.
