Luke Henry Davis is a sophomore jazz drummer, composer, and arranger at California State University Northridge pursuing his Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies. Luke began studying jazz drumming at age six with Tim Metz, as a teenager with Rick Lotter, and continued in college with Tina Raymond and Jason Harnell. He has performed at Carnegie Hall and the Golden 1 Center, the California Jazz Championships, international performances including Stockholm, Sweden and San Sebastián, Spain as well as on the BBC Global News Podcast. Luke was awarded the Ron Jones Drum Scholarship for Outstanding Musician at the Teagarden Jazz Festival and earned CSUN’s Outstanding Student in the Jazz Program Award as a freshman.
Music has been a profound source of meaning in Luke’s life, helping him to create deep connections while singing in choirs with his brother and friends, and allowing him to give back by volunteering for organizations that provide music education and instruments to under-served communities.
