Two years later he moved to Belgrade to study English language and literature. What sets Luke apart from the rest of the contestants is the music, which is absolutely different from domestic standards.
This young artist has been living and working in London for six years, where he created the song that will represent Serbia at Eurovision.

He made his public debut in May 2014, as part of the Groveland Festival, when he premiered the single D-Generation. In addition to his own music, he also produces audio and directs his own performances and music videos, Serbian Kurir reports.
In search of his artistic expression, he experiments and tries out new and unexpected forms and styles, and has collaborated with Konstrakta and Zemlja Gruva for years.
"Today I am 30 years old, and I have been making music in my bedroom for a long time. I taught myself various things and started writing my first songs at the age of 12 or 13. I came to Belgrade from Čačak and started doing more music. "Zemlja Gruva" was the first to open the door for me," he said in the show "Weekend on K1" and added:

"No one was interested in my music except Milovan from "Zemlje Gruva". They taught me a lot about the whole technique, singing, they heard my vocals for the first time. Everything was very strange to me. I had a slow but thorough learning process in music. I didn't push myself too hard. I'm not so confident in myself to put myself in the foreground" - said Luke.
"I think the Eurovision Song Contest has changed in recent years in terms of how I experienced it. I experienced the festival in such a way that I felt that there must be a more traditional sound or girls who are more scantily clad. That some profession that is not close to me. I thought there was no such thing as a concept, and that concept inspires me the most in creating music. I can't say I'm a singer or a songwriter, I'd rather say I'm an artist. That's why I thought there was no place for me there, but after Konstructa won, it's some of my milieu of musicians with whom I felt welcome, I changed my mind - said Luke recently.
