Luke Daniel Peacock Give Me A Reason

Luke Daniel Peacock is following up his #2 AMRAP charting hit "Older Then" with an energetic and punchy new single, "Give Me A Reason". Steeped in 80's and 90's indie-pop influence, the driving synth melody of the track is offset by Peacock's husky and powerful vocal performance.

 An experienced musician and songwriter, Luke Daniel Peacock's solo efforts have earned him extensive acclaim across the music industry, including being awarded The Billy Thorpe Scholarship Award in 2016 for his EP "We've Come A Long Way Darling". Simultaneously, Luke has recorded, performed and toured across the world with some of the most revered and respected names in Australian and international music. Luke also featured as a performer and curator of the 13th Isol-aid Festival, and his most recent single "Older Then" shot to #2 on the AMRAP Metro charts.

Luke was born and grew up in Brisbane, QLD, Australia. He is a descendant of the Meriam people of the eastern Torres Strait Islands – in particular the Samsep tribe of Erub . He also has strong Scottish heritage. He credits to both of these lineages to his deep attraction to song and melody. Through it's pearling industry and transient population, the Torres Strait is a famous melting pot of culture and music, which Luke was exposed to through his grandmother, her guitar and her endless canon of traditional island, Caribbean, folk and country songs. Scotland is home to many of Luke's favourite pop - heavy bands, including Teenage Fanclub, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Cocteau Twins, Chvrches, The Waterboys and Frightened Rabbit.

At the age of 12, Luke suffered a serious leg injury, which led him to pick up his fathers guitar. Through a heavy diet of Nirvana and more Nirvana, he began teaching himself how to play. At 17, he began performing in local bands and quickly showed promise as a songwriter, winning a Queensland Music Award for his song 'Abacus'.
