Luqman Rashada

Born: October 12, 1992

Those who hear Luqman often share the sentiment, "he's got an old soul". Listen to him play a few songs and it will not be hard to tell that the music that he grew up on was of an older generation than he. The names Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, and Donny Hathaway are the names that would come out of his mouth if you were to ask him his main influences. He sites these artists as being musicians/vocalists that have shaped his musicianship with a stew of Soul, Folk, Country, and Pop. Since 2011 Luqman has been making a name for himself around his city, Dallas, Texas. Some of his notable accomplishments include open call auditioning in Austin, Texas for The Voice: Season 6 in 2013
