Luke Sellick is a bassist, composer, teacher and recording artist. Hailing from Winnipeg, Canada, Luke is now a mainstay on the NYC music scene, and bassist-of-choice of many preeminent jazz artists including Monty Alexander, Russell Malone, Benny Golson, and others.

Luke’s musical education began in Canada, where he was home-schooled, and then attended the University of Manitoba’s jazz program.

In 2012, he moved to New York to pursue his master’s degree at The Juilliard School, where he was mentored by legendary bassist Ron Carter. Luke received his "on-the-job" training as a member of the Johnny O’Neal trio, with whom he performed weekly at NYC jazz clubs Smoke, Smalls and Mezzrow for several years.

He is currently based in Harlem, and has performed worldwide with artists including George Coleman, Houston Person, Kenny Barron, Jimmy Greene, Renee Rosnes, Ron Blake, Lewis Nash and a great many others. Luke’s musical philosophy is epitomized in the words of J.S. Bach: “The end of all music is none other than glory of God and the refreshment of the spirit.”
