He is a graduate of Belmont University with a Bachelor of Arts in Commercial Music, Piano, with an emphasis in composition and arranging. Currently, he is working as a touring musician, a session player/singer, and producer.
Lucas Pettee was born in the suburban town of Santa Clarita outside of Los Angeles. Growing up, his music career began by playing guitar, singing at his local church, and participating in his school choir.
It wasn’t until his teenage years that Lucas discovered soul music and the piano, which led to a lifelong love of gospel, R&B, and soul. His vocals and piano playing reveal the clear influence of the classics, such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Ray Charles, to name a few.
In 2021, Lucas decided to pursue his music career by choosing to study at Belmont University with a major in Commercial Music. After moving to Nashville, he quickly started to get connected with the many talented musicians in town. He has had the opportunity to perform background vocals for Carrie Underwood, work and tour as the musical director for country artist Tae Lewis, play in numerous bands with styles ranging from Afro beat, to funk, pop, punk, jazz, blues, country, folk, and gospel (his favorite), and work as a session vocalist and keyboardist for a diverse amalgamation of artists and projects.
He makes it his mission to bring a warm, inviting, and authentic sound to his listeners’ ears and is excited for his future as an all-around musician and teacher.
