Luke Nicholson is a Canadian folk, pop singer and songwriter.

Nicholson was born and raised in Lakefield, Ontario. He is the brother of singer-songwriter Royal Wood. Both brothers have similar classic pop styles, and regularly contribute as supporting musicians on each other's albums, although Nicholson's music is primarily guitar-based while Wood is more known as a pianist.

Nicholson began his career as a regular house performer at The Cameron House in Toronto. He first attracted wider attention when "Breathe", a song he wrote for the soundtrack to the film Poor Boy's Game, received a Genie Award nomination for Best Original Song at the 28th Genie Awards in 2008.

He subsequently recorded two limited-release independent demo albums before releasing his first major label album, Mad Love, on MapleMusic Recordings in 2012. Three singles from the album gained airplay on CBC Radio 2 and charted on The Radio 2 Top 20. and earned glowing reviews in Europe, most notably from Rolling Stone Germany who described Nicholson as a “young Elton John or Billy Joel.”

He followed up with Frantic City in 2015, again receiving radio airplay for the singles "Sadie" and "Maggie's Song".

His newest album, Shape and Sound, is slated for release in April 2017.

He has toured widely across Canada to support the albums, as well as performing festival dates in France and Germany.
