Born and raised in inner city Chicago, LuKo (Loukas Koyonos) was exposed to a vast array of culture, growing up in one of the formative hubs for early house music. Early influences were more in the realm of rap, rock, and blues and so he took up guitar, performing, and creating when time allowed. Music remained pervasive as he pursued a career as an orthopedic surgeon, but in 2024 he embarked on a journey to take it more serious than ever. As his music interests gravitated toward EDM, house, funk and experimental sounds, he committed fully to a life of artistic creativity, teaching himself to produce, mix, master, learn new instruments, develop his voice, and perform. Herein lies the LuKo of now - residing in Boulder, CO, contributing, sharing, and embracing membership in the music creation & performance community.
