Luke Hemmings is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of Australian pop rockers 5 Seconds of Summer.
Born 16 July 1996, as a solo artist Luke turned his creative process inward, finding a place for self-discovery, exploration, and experimentation. His critically acclaimed debut solo EP, When Facing The Things We Turn Away From was released in 2021 and was lauded “equal parts mesmerizing and immersive” by Rolling Stone, charting in the Top 75 in the UK.
Recorded in New York with Grammy-nominated producer Sammy Witte (Maggie Rogers, Harry Styles, Freya Ridings), his next project, boy, was released in April 2024 and delivered Luke his first solo Top 40 album on the Official Albums Chart, peaking at Number 22. The EP came as a result of continued introspection into maturity and humanity paired with the influence of LCD Soundsystem, My Bloody Valentine, The Verve, and Cocteau Twins. It culminated in a body of work highlighting both Luke’s personal evolution and his craft as a songwriter. Image: press / Sony Music
