Luke Borges may be new to Airdrie and Canada, but his musical journey began more than 20 years ago in Brazil. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Borges has an intimate relationship with music that connects him to culture, family and a strong desire to be himself as a performer.
I was born in Didsbury, Alta., the middle child of three, and raised on a farm east of town. I credit my rural upbringing to my active imagination and my love of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Being a rural child, it was common to see my nose pressed into a book to and from school.
