Luke Potter is a young singer-songwriter from the UK who’s starting to make a buzz with his songs, and plans to introduce his music to American fans with the January 2013 release of his EP produced by Bleu (Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers…), “One Day”.

He cites “Iris” by The Goo Goo Dolls as the song that, the moment he heard it playing, made him realize he wanted to be a songwriter.

Shortly after, at the age of 17, Luke picked up an acoustic guitar for the first time and started writing songs not only about love but also about growing up - the result, 2-3 years later, was his 2011 debut “Just Pieces of Me”.
