Beling, Luke: - South African-born author and singer-songwriter Luke Beling grew up listening to music from the '60s and '70s, influenced by records his father played and the surrounding struggle of his native country. As a twenty-something, Beling developed a fond taste for subversive literature, fiction defending the outcast, stories highlighting the grit of the human spirit. Beling believes art should embody both the miracle and labor of life. Everyday tales borne from world wandering, Beling's songs and stories hope to impart deep pockets of truth. Luke lives on the Big Island of Hawaii with his wife and four daughters, is the director of tennis for a private club, and is an author and alternative/folk singer-songwriter. Visit lukebeling.com.
