Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Lukie D began his career performing on various local sound systems, building a solid reputation as a dancehall singer. His influences included local heroes Frankie Paul, Tenor Saw and Supercat.
His popularity led to recording sessions that produced his biggest hit, "Centre Of Attraction", alongside combination hits with Lieutenant Stitchie ("Don't Deny Me") and Beenie Man and Black Pearl ("Bag It Up"). Lukie D joined the Firehouse Crew, noted for fostering the careers of Luciano and Sizzla. While with the Firehouse crew he released his debut album, Centre Of Attraction, featuring combinations with Mikey Spice and Determine. He also released a series of hits, including "I Won't Let You Go", "Lonely Nights", "Let Me Love You Now", "Heavy Load" and "You've Got It Going".
His success allowed him to commute between Jamaica and the USA, where he became acquainted with more diverse musical influences, resulting in the broadening of his repertoire. In 1997 he released a 20-track compilation featuring, unconventionally, versions of AC/DC's "You Shook Me" and Queen's "We Will Rock You". His alternative approach garnered attention in the USA. As well as his solo career, Lukie D also joined the vocal group L.U.S.T. They performed at MIDEM 1998 and later in New York at the third Culturama festival, to critical acclaim.
Today Lukie D stands firm as one of the most popular Dancehall singers and appears on almost every current riddims. From Bobby Digital to Don Corleon, hes been working with every established producer and has also collaborated with the biggest stars in reggae like Vybz Kartel, Bounty Killa, Elephant Man and many more.
His refined blend of modern lovers rock, dancehall and roots has won Lukie D fans all over the world - from Germany to Samoa, where he performed in 2009 to record crowds.
