Hey, I'm Lucas from Mississippi. I feel like I've been a musician all my life. I just recently turned 22, so I've got a few years under my belt anyways. I play mainly piano, but also a litle guitar, sax, bass and drums. I've got several finished projects which are posted here, and I am in the process of making of more.

Bio
Lucas Leigh has played the piano practically all his life. Starting at the age of 3, Lucas would stand on the piano bench in front of his family's upright, and pretend to play. He was fascinated with the piano from the first day he could reach its keys. A few years later, at the age of five, he begged his parents for lessons. He got through the first two books, and frustration soon caught up to him. He hated reading the notes on the page, but loved making up his own parts to songs. His teacher couldn't work with him, but saw the talent that existed somewhere inside this kid. At the age of six, Lucas quit taking piano lessons, and started playing the drums. For a couple of years, he would go back and forth between the drums and the piano, perhaps just developing rhythm.
One day at the age of seven, while watching a TV program, a Folgers’s Coffee commercial came up and the melody just seemed to click with Lucas. He went to the piano and played the tune the best part of waking up, is Folgers’s in your cup. He then began picking out simple tunes on a regular basis. By the age of nine he had developed a skill. He could now put the chords with the melodies and embellish on them. The piano came to Lucas like throwing a baseball or riding a bike comes to most kids. Being from a small suburb of Memphis, Hernando, Mississippi, Lucas' attention was focused on several different styles of music, making him versatile with his genres ranging from bluegrass to jazz and from blues to pop.
