Luca Sestak

Luca Sestak (born January 10, 1995, in Celle, Lower Saxony, Germany) is a German blues and jazz-pop pianist, singer and composer.

Musical career Sestak began playing piano at a young age. In 2012 he told Birgitta Larsson of "Jefferson Blues Magazine":

"My father tried to teach me a little piano playing when I was 8, but I hated it. When I was nine and a half he sent me to a piano teacher. I didn’t like classical music at all. At eleven and a half, after two years of lessons, I was supposed to play a Beethoven sonata. It was after this point that playing the piano began to really give me pleasure. Today, however, my relating to classical music is diminishing again; to be honest, it isn’t easy to run on two tracks and my heart beats much louder for the blues."

By March 2014 his earliest videos had received as many as 1.8 million hits. After public appearances in his home town of Karlsruhe, Sestak's fame continued to grow through videos. As he grew older, he began performing regularly in concerts and festivals in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, the US and other countries. The album is heavily influenced by pop music and Jazz and was compared to artists like Jamie Cullum. 2012: "SummerJazz" Prize of SummerJazz festival in Pinneberg, Germany 2012: Yamaha Junior Generation Prize/Promotion Prize
