Luke Renchan Entertainment

The love for music began at a young age while growing up in East Boston which led to a lifetime career. It all started with a Christmas present…..a turntable. With plenty of albums to chose from (from an older sibling) the love for music grew. At the age of six the first 45 was purchased (Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas) which eventually led to an extensive music collection ranging from 45’s, LP’s, Imports and 12 inch extended mixes. As time went on equipment was purchased and cassettes were being made regularly for friends throughout Jr. High School. By the time High School approached performing at house parties and school events became a regular gig.
