R&B crooner Luke James graces the April/May 2013 digital cover of Stuff Fly People Like. His modern Harlem Renaissance themed photo shoot was shot by Jerome Shaw and styled by Louis Johnson.
In his cover story, James dishes on who he is, his definition of fly, his style, and more. Read excerpts from his interview below:
So who exactly is Luke James?
“I don’t know who Luke James is. He is an entertainer and an artist. He is an actor, musician, a songwriter and a lover. That could all change tomorrow,” says James.
On What Fly Means To Him?
“To me, “Fly” means/is a matter how I feel and that I feel great in what it is that I have on. I can’t leave the house unless I have something on that’s giving me wings.”
On Who’s Style Does He Admire?
“I admired Prince and his confidence. Some of the outfits he wore, like the pants with the ass out, you have to have confidence to pull that off! You have to be confident and if you believe it everyone else will. Women loved it and still love it! It’s all a feeling and that’s all a part of what makes your personal style yours.”
On what would he’d like someone to say about him and his music 10 years from now?
I would like to people to say it inspired someone to be who they are. Be who they want to be and not what everyone else wants you to be. If you want to be in love, then be in love. Whatever is, do it if that’s what you feel. It would guide them in that direction. Be in love with something that’s forever.
