LUKE SITAL-SINGH
https://www.facebook.com/lukesitalsinghmusic

Luke Sital-Singh was brought up in the small south west London town of New Malden, birthplace of folk legend John Martyn. The ever compelling and emotionally captivating young songwriter has his roots in an eclectic mix of songsmiths both young and old, from Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Joni Mitchell to Damien Rice, Josh Ritter and Tallest Man On Earth.

Luke's first collection of songs opens with the heart wrenching 'Fail For You' - a track comprising of beautifully layered vocal harmonies, all provided by Luke himself and showcases his love and complete understanding of the understated complexity of acts like Sigur Ros and Bon Iver. Having already been tipped by the Guardian as "breathing life into a tired form" Luke is currently busy gigging around London, silencing every audience he plays to and rapidly gathering fans wherever he goes.

Luke releases his highly anticipated Old Flint EP, out April 8th on Raygun Records, self-penned and produced by Iain Archer (Jake Bugg) and Dave Lynch.

"This tremulous-voiced troubadour could be a British Bon Iver, destined to take folk traditions in unexpected directions" - The Guardian

"Utterly intoxicating" - The Line of Best Fit
