The band’s influences collectively range everywhere from Jeff Buckley to The Cure to Queen, however Stars Down’s music is very fresh, very new, and very much their own. Layered with melodic harmonies, and a stellar (no pun intended) ability to grab the crowd by the balls, the Stars Down sound is emotive and tortured, yet inspiring and hopeful, and in the unforgettable soaring vocals of Lukas Rossi, the listener ultimately finds redemption. The creation of Stars Down is the brainchild of Lukas Rossi (vocals, guitar) whose songwriting career has spanned a fruitful seventeen years (Cleavage, Rise Electric, Rock Star Supernova). Lukas Rossi, native of Toronto, Ontario now transplanted to Los Angeles, California, shares with his former Cleavage band mates the accolade of winning the Best Unsigned Band contest at NXNE in 2000. Since that time, Lukas has been involved in projects that have brought him major media attention, and has been very successful—and prolific—as a songwriter through his publishing deal with EMI Music Publishing. In addition, Lukas is carving for himself a lucrative career as a producer. No stranger to the stage and television, Lukas performed live at the 2006 Gemini awards, appeared on (and won) the CBS television series Rock Star: Supernova (9 million viewers in the US, another 9 million worldwide), as well as appearing on Ellen, Regis & Kelly, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, Entertainment Tonight, and numerous appearances on ET Canada. Lukas has performed in arenas spanning the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Lukas Rossi and Stars Down are ready to bring their collective alternative rock talents—from heart-wrenching ballads to balls out rock n’ roll—to the hungry eyes and ears of music fans everywhere. |
