Born and raised on South Africa's Sunshine Coast, Luke Beling left home at 19 and settled in a small, rural town in central Kentucky. Here he began his writing and songwriting journey, sharing life with storytellers and musicians who helped hone and direct his creativity. He left Kentucky 7 years later and began traveling the world.

Beling grew up listening to music from the 60s and 70s, influenced by records his father played and the surrounding struggle of black South Africa, the melodies of Simon and Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, The Beatles, Johnny Clegg, Miriam Makeba, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Everyday stories borne from world wandering, Beling's stories and songs are deep pockets of hope, whispers of joy blown in by a wild wind.
