He projects a widescreen vision of R&B. His full-spectrum view encompasses everything from the explosive funky bombast to the soulful croon of seventies favorites and the turn-of-the-century swagger inherent in mid-to-late nineties classics. As a result, he emerges with a signature sound of his own that stretches from soulfully smoked out to enigmatically energetic on his upcoming debut album, Painted. Lucky has an unbelievable story from growing up in a cult, surviving Hurricane Katrina, making music in Atlanta, road-tripping across the country to Los Angeles, and finally linking up with producer D’Mile to make, Painted.
