Luther's approach to performance is healing; it’s about reprogramming your brain to find the confidence, energy and guts to take risks and express yourself as a performer in a live setting. It's about breaking down your fear walls that are holding you back from accessing the most expressive and vulnerable version of yourself on stage.

    Luther teaches the expressive stage skills of voice, movement, story telling, audience engagement and focus to unlock self-expression. This is how we summon the peak performance state Artists refer to as “the moment”.

    Luther is the Performance Coach for two of Canada’s most acclaimed music artist development programs - The JUNO Masterclass and CMI’s Artist Entrepreneur Programs in Toronto and Calgary.

    Over the last decade, Luther has coached over 1000+ artists including JUNO Award and Polaris Prize winners, major label and independent artists of every genre, and more than 50 artists that have since achieved 1 million+ Spotify streams.
