Luke Bacchus is a 21 year old pianist, born and raised in London to Guyanese parents. From a very young age he was exposed to many styles of music and developed a love for all things music, which culminated in him starting to play the piano aged five. He developed his musicality as a teen by attending Grand Union Youth Orchestra masterclasses, where he was exposed to musicians and musical cultures from across the globe. This developed in him a great appreciation for non-Western music.

At the age of 16, inspired by musicians like Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and Thelonious Monk, Bacchus began teaching himself jazz piano using YouTube videos. He also began studying jazz piano at Trinity Laban two years later and is currently in his final year there.

In recent years, Bacchus has been exploring his identity as a Caribbean person and has developed a keen interest in Caribbean music, history and culture. His music reflects that journey, and he continues to impress audiences with his unique approach to the blanket term 'Caribbean Jazz', as he uses his music to highlight important characteristics of the Caribbean experience.
