Luka Ivanović (Serbian cyrillic: Лука Ивановић; born 18 May 1992), better known by his stage name Luke Black, is a Serbian singer-songwriter, producer and performer. In early 2015 he signed a recording deal with Universal Music Group, became the first solo artist from Serbia to have an exclusive contract with this worldwide music corporation. His debut single D-Generation was released along with a music video in February 2015.D-Generation and another single Holding on to Love is included in Luke's first Extended play Thorns, released on 18 September 2015. Luke Black has the rare privilege to be the only artist from this part of Europe who was featured on a global Instagram platform @music, alongside international mainstream stars like Miley Cyrus, Drake, Foo Fighters, 50 Cent, and many others.
Luke Black was born in Čačak, Serbia, and he has been making original music for over 12 years. During this time he recorded 7 full-length DIY albums – which were never heard by anyone except for his closest friends. Craving a more turbulent life he moved to Belgrade, where he started studying English language and literature.
His first public live performance was in May 2014 at the Gruvlend Festival when he presented his single D-Generation for the first time. That's when he was noticed by the representatives of Universal Music Group who called him to their office in Belgrade. He showed up with no demos. Instead sang his heart out at the office, and became the first pop artist in Serbia to get signed by an international major label. Apart from making his music he also does production and direction of his performances and music videos. Looking for his artistic expression, he experiments and tries out new and unexpected forms and styles. Before signing with Universal Music Group, he released single Nebula Lullaby in November 2014, independently via online digital music distribution service Spinnup. Luke Black wrote this song with Kristijan Majić, and the song was recorded over popular VoIP service Skype.
