Lukas has recorded, written, produced and played with his own band Cleavage, as well as co-written, sung and played with various Canadian bands, including I Mother Earth, The Tea Party, Edwin and Big Wreck, as well as American band Papa Roach. He also worked with producer and Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, after winning the 'Best Canadian Unsigned Band' award at the 2000 NXNE Music Festival in Toronto with his band Cleavage.

After acquiring a publishing deal with EMI Music Canada in 2004, Lukas worked and wrote with producer Dave Tyson (Alannah Myles & Amanda Marshall) in Los Angeles. After that, he recorded demos with producer Gavin Brown (Billy Talent, Three Days Grace), leading to the formation of the band Rise Electric.

Lukas also contributes vocal work for television and radio, singing on national ad campaigns (including McDonald's) and even animated cartoons during which he sings the intro song to the shows Rescue Heroes and Beyblade.

Rossi has a strong resemblance in dress, mannerisms and singing style to Hawksley Workman, another flamboyant Toronto-based singer who is known for his unusual promotional stunts.

Lyrics


Cleavage (former band)

Cleavage is made up of the Jamieson brothers, Bill and Jon (Bill being the elder), Lukas(Luke) Rossi, and Jeff Smith. The band members grew up in the same neighbourhood in Toronto and have been friends practically their entire lives. Though the band has been through a couple of different lead guitarists since its inception, they came back to Jeff when the position became vacant in 1998, and the band has remained unchanged since. The Jamieson household has over the years been home to many, many noisy days & nights whilst the band practised away, dreaming of stardom.

Cleavage entered the 2000 NXNE Music Festival in Toronto, as they had done in previous years, but this time they took home the coveted 'Best Canadian Unsigned Band' award. Voting by festival attendees was done through HMV.com's website, and with over 400 bands at the Festival from all over the world, this award was truly earned! The prize-pack included 3 days of studio recording time at Umbrella Sound, CD-manufacturing by Universal Music Canada, and distribution through HMV. Cleavage worked in the studio with Rush's Alex Lifeson (who was apparently extremely impressed with their work) and Edwin's Ruben Huizenga. Having written well over 30 songs, it's hard to know which ones to cram onto your first 'legit' CD, but on May 29th, 2001, Cleavage's 6-song debut CD, self-titled 'Cleavage', was released - with guaranteed shelf space & (limited) distribution at HMV stores across Canada.
