Lukas Rossi (born December 21, 1976) is a Canadian rock singer, songwriter, musician, and producer. He was the winner of the CBS Television reality series Rock Star: Supernova – a televised audition contest to become lead singer of the hard rock supergroup Rock Star Supernova.

Biography Rossi was raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He formed and fronted two bands; the first was Cleavage (1995–2005) with brothers Jon and Bill Jameson and Guitarist Jeff Smith. The Toronto-based band won the "Best Canadian Unsigned Band" award at the 2000 NXNE Music Festival in Toronto.

In 2004, Rossi entered into a publishing deal with EMI Music Canada. After acquiring this deal, Rossi worked with producer Dave Tyson in Los Angeles and later recorded demos with producer Gavin Brown.

In 2005, Rossi partnered with guitarist Dominic Cifarelli and drummer Maxx Zinno along with his longtime friend, Jay Cianfrini, to form a band in Montreal called Rise Electric.

In the years following Rock Star: Supernova, Rossi has continued to work as a solo artist, songwriter, musician, and producer. He released a new album "Autonomic" in December 2021 and a new single "Alien Is Me" February 2024.

Career As of 2025, Rossi has released 21 solo albums and 33 singles spanning his career. Rossi is set to release a triple album in 2025.

Cleavage Lukas formed and fronted Cleavage (1995–2005) with brothers Jon and Bill Jameson, as well as Grant Grebe during the band's first years. The Toronto-based band won the "Best Canadian Unsigned Band" award at the 2000 NXNE Music Festival in Toronto. The album was originally scheduled to be released in 2009 but Rossi has stated it may never see the light of day due to his own dissatisfaction with its quality. However, in 2011 Lukas released a flash drive that contained his back catalog, including the previously unreleased album "Mood Swings".

Switchblade Glory On April 15, 2011, a debut album was released which features Rossi as lead vocals under the band named Switchblade Glory. The album was engineered and co-produced by Andy Johns. Producers are Gary Hoey and Steve Polin. Lyrics and melodies by Rossi. The band features Kenny Aronoff on drums, Steve Polin on guitar, and Josh Esther on bass. On February 26, 2021, Switchblade Glory released a new album titled "Human Toys".

The Halo Method In 2012, Rossi teamed up with Evanescence co-founder/lead guitarist Ben Moody to form a new project called The Halo Method. In September 2012, the band released an introductory track, "Beauty is the Beast", for an online interview with Revolver Magazine and performed their debut show aboard the rock and roll cruise, Shiprocked, in November. In 2013, the band released a lyric video of "Toxic" and "Reset", an EP that features four songs: "Toxic", "Beauty Is The Beast", "Porcelain" and "Crutch". The EP was available as a free download at The Halo Method SoundCloud. Later in the year, the band appeared at Rock The River, a benefit festival for Angel on My Shoulder. Following their second appearance on Shiprocked (SR14) in late January 2014, The Examiner described the sound of the band: "The Halo Method rounded out the night on the main deck stage with their hard synth-fused rock show at top notch. The Halo Method features former members of Evanescence, and other well known projects, so these are not novice performers to the live stage. They produce hard rock energy with full emotion in one 'rocking fell swoop'. This band combines it all into one hell of a sound and show: elements of hard rock, goth, alternative metal, industrial, and pop with a great presence from a great band and the voice of Lukas Rossi." The band released a video for "The Last Astronaut" as performed aboard the ship.

Rock cover of "Hello" by Adele In November 2015, Rossi released a rock cover of "Hello" by Adele which quickly amassed more than 1 million views upon its debut, and was extremely well received by critics, bloggers, radio, press and fans alike.

King City In 2016, Lukas Rossi joined forces with Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace to form the duo known as King City. Their first single, Neurotic, was released on August 25, 2016.

Stereo Satellite

Stereo Satellite was formed as a modern rock band with elements of many genres thrown in the mix as a result in each member's diverse musical influences. The band debuted on the 2018 Shiprocked Cruise and shortly after opened for Bon Jovi to a sold-out crowd.

Summertime solo album & ANDRO by Tommy Lee

In July 2020, Rossi released a music video for Summertime that features a litany of cameos as well as his family and friends showing how they are spending their summer.
