Background
Luke Islam has been singing since he was three years old. His passion for singing led him to discover musical theater, and he started performing in local theater programs.

A video was captured of Islam that night and it now has over 40,000 views. Being on Broadway has been Luke's goal for as long as he can remember. “America’s Got Talent” has truly changed his life.
