Jean-Philip Grobler is even more than just a radical synth-pop artist. His equal use of electronic and non-electronic instrumentation makes him a prolific musician, drawing on the past and the present to create the sound of the future. There are prominent piano chords, wandering guitar riffs and the odd sax solo littered throughout his sound, but with programmed beats providing the heartbeat and earthly synths bringing the soul, the South African musical genius, who releases music under the moniker St. Lucia, does creates songs of passionate electronic beauty.
St. Lucia has been making music since he was 11, and he's evolved through a series of genres and techniques to arrive at the inimitable style he's arrived at now that has the critics in awe and the audiences on the their feet. It hasn't been an easy road for St. Lucia, though. He spent three years in England studying music and more after that perfecting his sound and landing on his musical signature.

Everyone is waiting with baited breath to see what this hyper talented wonder kid is going to do next, and with tickets from StubHub, you can see him perform his latest hits live!
So gifted is St. Lucia that Columbia Records signed on for his debut self-titled mini album and released it to critical success and waves of audience enthusiasm. Few other musicians can claim their work from the beginning was so widely regarded and embraced, which is just another sign of how incredible a musician St. Lucia is. Now that his full-length album is out and already being heralded as the next big thing in music, the future is wide open for the South Africa native. Living in Brooklyn clearly agrees with the brilliant musician, and everyone is itching to hear what he'll come up with next!
Although he's come a very long way since his days in the boys choir, Jean-Philip Grobler, aka St. Lucia, manages to weave in his past as his beautiful voice melts easily around the immaculately layered music he creates today.
