Full Biography
Luka was born and raised in Japan and is currently settled in York. Her passions are music, art, and history and she especially finds beauty in the glamorous world of vintage culture and jazz.
Her unique singing background started in Nagauta (traditional Japanese music which accompanies the Kabuki theatre). Later, Luka joined a jazz band in Japan. She fell in love not only with jazz songs but also the style: gorgeous dresses, perfect hair, make-up and charismatic personalities such as her idols Julie London and Peggy Lee.
Performing to the highest quality backing tracks Luka’s soft, warm voice carries elegance and sophistication. Performing jazz standards with an air of romance, beautiful ballads, up-tempo bossa nova and Latin pieces, Luka’s live sets are perfectly suited to hotel residencies, drinks reception and private parties. Luka has performed in some of London's best 5 star hotels such as The Savoy Hotel, The Londoner Hotel and popular places such as Brasserie Zédel, Nightjar and Oriole bar.
Creative to her core, Luka has created a look and sound that brings glamour to every stage she graces. Having worked as a professional make-up artist for 10 years, Luka styles her own hair and makeup for every performance. Much of her wardrobe is bespoke too; with Luka often sewing her own stunning dresses.
In 2024, Luka released her first EP “Isn’t It Romantic?”. The EP celebrates her love of jazz. Simple but sophisticated sounds with a selection of love songs that inspire her. The album was recorded at the award winning Morningstar Studios in the US.
Whatever your occasion, Luka will provide a truly special performance with a memory-making selection of songs.

Thank you for the wonderful performance!
Janette D booked Luka for their event • August 2024
“Firstly I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful performance for my Mum’n’Laws 90th. The play list was very fitting for the guests and the special lady was delighted with your performance of her favourite song, your singing voice is beautiful! You were a pleasure to connect with and I wish you every success in your future events.”
I cannot recommend Luka highly enough.
Jacqueline M booked Luka for their event • July 2024
“Luka performed at my husband's recent birthday party and was a massive hit. She sang two sets of beautifully delivered songs and introduced each one with a lovely reflection on her choice and interpretation. She won the hearts of the whole audience, making them laugh and cry. Her voice is gorgeous and she looks stunning. The event was a pleasure to arrange, Luka is helpful, responsive, friendly and reliable. She happily adapted to playing an open-air space in our orchard and her set up and pack up was a breeze, whilst the sound quality was excellent. I cannot recommend Luka highly enough.”
Luka was fabulously professional
Steve L booked Luka for their event • November 2023
“We were lucky enough to find Luka by chance, I was looking for someone that would provide songs and music as guests were arriving for one of our dining events at Selby Golf Club. Luka delivered the perfect welcome, singing a selection of soft jazz songs that blended perfectly into the evening. Throughout the performance, Luka kept us entertained and enthralled with her performance. From the initial contact, Luka was fabulously professional, efficient and importantly amazingly friendly. She made sure I was fully aware of all her plans, the times of arrival and performance as well as the things she would bring. Luka made sure that everything was ready and it meant, we were able to enjoy her songs without any worries. I would not hesitate in recommending Luka to anyone. Thank you Luka.”
We booked Luka and we are so happy we did!
Pia P booked Luka for their Wedding • June 2023
“We booked Luka to perform at our wedding and we are so happy we did! She was an absolute pleasure to work with - she is incredibly organised and professional and made the whole process completely stress free. Her performance was stunning and all our guests loved her. We love that she asked us for our wedding theme colours and matched her dress (which she made herself) to our colours. We would absolutely wholeheartedly recommend her and would definitely book her again if we throw another party in the future.”
Lawrence H booked Luka for their event • May 2023
“Luka is a professional in all aspects, very good singer and very well presented. A very good choice for our event.”
