Luke Concannon was born to an Anglo-Irish home, full of folk and soul music. In his teens he got in to hip-hop, and today, his songs tell stories about social justice, spirituality, and intimacy.
Mega star Ed Sheeran, called Luke’s song ‘I Want To Be Free’: “one of my favourite songs of the year.”
In 2009, Luke hitchhiked from England to Palestine: A bear found him in the woods one night in Transylvania, he was taken in by a Turkish family (who’s hospitality inspired his first solo single ‘Around the World’) later, eventually arriving in Palestine, to volunteer as a peace worker.
This trip was the inspiration for his first solo album ‘Give It All’, a radical, passionate, full on folk record.
“A beautiful album, full of joy, sadness and honesty, it swept me away” The Vault
Luke is also one half of the Folk-Hip-Hop duo ‘Nizlopi’, a popular act on the UK scene. Who have released four albums from their own label (Selling over a million copies) and toured the UK, Ireland and Europe Extensively.
Luke is splitting his time between London and Boston, and is beginning to share his music and work in America.
