Luke Davids on SoundBetter

I'm a classically trained pianist and seasoned professional vocalist/performer and have played on countless records throughout all genres of rock and pop.. My love for songwriting helps me to approach songs tastefully, adding vocals and instrumental layers that help take the song to the next level.

Hi! I'm Luke Davids. London-born singer-songwriter, pianist and vocal performer. I've been playing piano since the age of 3, writing songs since the age of 6 and performing full-time since the age of 16.

    Luke was great to work with and I would definitely work with him again. Such a distinct voice and a real pro.

Interview with Luke Davids

  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  2. A: My second album "Let Love" is very near and dear to my heart. It marked the turning point in my songwriting career where I decided that I wanted everything I put out into the world to be uplifting in some way. My role was songwriter, co-producer and playing the majority of instruments on the record (piano, guitar, keys, vocals, BGVs, post-production).

  3. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  4. A: My third album release and scoring for film & TV.

  5. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  6. A: Digital for ease, Analog for quality. Nothing like the sound of recording to tape if you got the $$$.

  7. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  8. A: Being able to do what I love on a daily basis.

  9. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  10. A: Do your research - listen to examples and make sure it's right for your project.

  11. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  12. A: Started working as a session musician in Orlando, FL immediately after graduating high school. Continued doing that while landing a full-time gig as a performer at Walt Disney World. I played keys and sang in a band that covered anything people wanted to hear (Beatles, Rolling Stones, 80's, Funk etc) - I worked there from 2010 - 2015. During this time I was also writing and releasing my own original music which I continue to do to this day.

  13. Q: How would you describe your style?

  14. A: Laid-back

  15. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  16. A: Less is more

  17. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  18. A: Pop / Singer-Songwriter

  19. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  20. A: Songwriting and pianist

  21. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  22. A: My vast knowledge of music theory balanced out by my passion for songwriting. (I attended a classical conservatory in London, England called 'The Purcell School' as a young child and continued studying privately into my teens.)

  23. Q: What's your typical work process?

  24. A: Typically I will listen to the song a few times, chart it out and start doing a few takes. It's usually pretty apparent what would serve the song best. I then go back through with the track tucked below the mix as it would be in the final mix and make sure it's adding and not distracting from the song in general. Then once I know it's the final take I go through and do any necessary tweaking or quantizing if requested by the client.

  25. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  26. A: I work from my Nord Stage 2 EX 88 Key utilizing the highest quality samples around (Native Instruments, Ivory and Logic Pro).

  27. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  28. A: The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Ben Folds, Elvis Costello

  29. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  30. A: Piano tracks for singer-songwriter style songs. Adding extra layers of strings / pads / textures is also a common request.
