Luke James Boyd is an American singer, songwriter and actor from New Orleans, Louisiana. He began his career in 2004 as one half of the R&B duo Luke and Q, who served as backing vocalists for R&B singer Tyrese. While doing so, they became acquainted with the singer's primary songwriting-production team, the Underdogs; the duo was led to sign with J Records. The duo's 2006 debut single, "My Turn" failed to chart, although Boyd continued to write songs—often under the wing of the Underdogs—for other prominent artists including Chris Brown, Britney Spears, and Justin Bieber during the duo's inactivity and subsequent disbandment in 2010.
Further intent on a solo recording career, he signed with record producer Danja's label N.A.R.S., in a joint venture with Island Records to release his eponymous debut studio album. Preceded by the mixtapes #Luke and Whispers in the Dark, the album spawned the single "I Want You," which was nominated for Best R&B Performance at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. His 2017 single, "Drip" served to promote the independent release of his second studio album, to feel love/d, which marked his return to music following a two-year hiatus.
