Lukas Greybeck was born in Newham,UK just north of England. He didn’t come from much but was very musically inclined. His mother was the driving force behind him getting into a good school even if it meant that some months the lighting bill wasn’t paid. He was talented, playing more instruments than some could even pick up one. Lukas could practically pick up an instrument and within an hour have a beautiful melody filling the room. He had an ear for what sounded good and that’s what led him to where he was today.
Lukas’s mum got sick when he was in his 11th year of school and when she had passed the following year he moved to the United States to live with his father. The school system in New York was a lot different than in England. His father was barely around mostly at work or playing in underground gambling rings placing bets that put him in situations Lukas usually had to help him out of. One time his father owed a debt he couldn’t repay. His father begged Lukas to help him and the two would then leave the city and he’d get clean of his addictions. Lukas reluctantly agreed- the two one night with gasoline cans doused the apartment of a dealer that his father owed setting it ablaze. That night Lukas knew that he wasn’t the good person he used to be that there was something inside him that made his own skin crawl.
Lukas was happy to find out within the following day that the building they set on fire did not have anyone inside at the time and although his shoulders felt a weight on relief his fathers did not. That day when he left for school his father stuck a needle in his arm, higher than the usual dose and when Lukas returned he was gone. This pain. The pain of losing the only parent he had left, the one whom although he had his issues still cared about him, the one whom wanted to get better had left him.
This grief crushed Lukas, he no longer had interest in playing instruments or knew what he wanted for himself. He had to turn to selling drugs to keep a roof over his head and at times he barely did that. There were nights he spent sleeping on a park in central park or on a friends couch. He had fallen into his father’s footsteps and he didn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel.
When he got a job at a record store tuning instruments people brought in was when his luck started to turn around, he began to allow music into his life and found talent who would come into the store, offering lessons while he worked. It was when he found a young boy who randomly walked in the store and was checking out a guitar when he knew what he wanted to do. Lukas would take people under his wing and help them expand their talent, he would take them into label companies in the city and get them signed so much so that one company liked what he saw in others and wanted them to be a talent scout for them.
By 22, Lukas began talent scouting for Lee Records. he continued to grow his clients and clients for the company until one day he realized that the talent he was discovering was no longer being appreciated, and his work compensated accordingly. With that same passion he held before he bought what he could and built a recording studio in a SOHO loft where he lived. Padding it, buying the necessary equipment and maybe snagging a few items from Lee Records he began finding talent and letting them record in his own studio, this time helping produce records that got them noticed.
Lukas grew to success, moving his studio into a office space of its own and then its own building. Clients grew, so much so he began to hire staff to scout for him, musicans to help produce beats, etc. Three years later opening Grey Records and being the CEO of his own Record Label and production company.
currently:
-Lukas now goes by Luke Grey shortening his name to make it more marketable and so that the media didn’t go digging. His name is known in the music industry however so is his image as ‘bad boy’. He has a way with his clients and is known for brutal honesty. His stuff gets people recognized, and he has a niche for finding talent. However, finding success and women at his disposal doesn’t change the scars on his heart of the past. He doesn’t do commitment and never has really known love being he runs at any sign. He is afraid of losing anyone who gets close and the way to not lose anyone is by having no one. It gets lonely at the top but he keeps company but nobody really knows Luke Grey besides Luke Grey.
-Luke lives at the arconia for the past four years. He moved in when the label first opened and he was scouting for Lee. He hasn’t moved since and doesn’t plan to just yet.
-He is often busy working but does enjoy drinking, going out, women, and doesn’t like when people approach him in hopes of being recognized.
-He also plays the drums in some songs he produces just because his love of music is still something he likes to explore and not just in talent.
