Luke Eastwood
| Address: | Kilgarvan, County Kerry. |
Luke Eastwood been involved in the arts in some shape or form since he was a teenager. He was born in Aberdeen, Scotland but spent most of his childhood and all of his teenage years in Kent and Surrey, England. At the age of 19 he moved to London to study at university, which was the beginning of his development into a semi-professional or professional artist, designer, musician, photographer and writer. In 1990, at university, he discovered the Apple MacIntosh computer which he immediately fell in love with, leading to my interest in digital art and Graphic Design (which became his career), following a stint in Mitre House Publishing for his degree he started writing for the university magazine 'Cityscape' and several other magazines such as 'Open Systems' and 'Financial Systems'. He also began writing music, having played instruments since the age of 7. By the 1990s he had played recorder, clarinet, cello, guitar, bass guitar, double bass, piano, sythesizer and drums/percussion with varying levels of success. He loves all kinds of music from Mahler to Drum n' Bass, but became fascinated with house music in the late 1980s and was determined to learn how to make it. By 1993 he had become fairly competent at creating electronic music and married this with more traditional instrumentation in his band Children of Dub. He continued to make music under this name until 2001 and after a break of several years returned to song writing and music production with the final album from Children Of Dub, featuring several guest artists inciuding singer Emma Stack.
