ABOUT

Luc Reynaud is a multidisciplinary innovator dedicated to advancing humanity through creative endeavors. As a gifted songwriter, performer, producer, speaker, actor, screenwriter, and humanitarian, Luc uses his art to unite people, bridge divides, and elicit feelings of freedom, self-love, and joy. In 2005, he wrote a song called The Freedom Song with youth in an evacuation shelter after Hurricane Katrina, which later Grammy Award winner Jason Mraz would cover and turn into an international success. Through Jason Mraz and the organization Free The Slaves, The Freedom Song also became an anthem for former child slaves in Ghana. This life-altering experience showed Luc that he could combine his passions for music and service into one. In 2007, he founded a World-Soul-Reggae band called Luc and the Lovingtons and soon after co-founded a non-profit called The Goodness Tour: Music and Art for People Facing Adversity. Through The Goodness Tour, Luc and his band and a small team of artists travel to Refugee Camps, Disaster Zones, Recovery Centers, and more to instigate creativity as a beacon of empowerment and healing. Luc has since written and produced songs with thousands of youth and adults across the globe, from disaster survivors to refugees to celebrities. In 2015, Luc gave a TEDx talk on the incredible Freedom Song story called “To Open Your World, Trust Your Intuition.” In 2016, Luc co-wrote, sang, and co-produced the Welcome to My House song and video project in the Zaatari Syrian Refugee Camp. In 2017, Luc was the creative visionary and project director behind a post-hurricane Maria song written by over 100 Puerto Ricans called “A Celebrar,” which raised money to bring solar power to homes in desperate need of electricity in the mountains of Puerto Rico. In 2019, Luc helped teenagers from Abaco Bahamas write a musical in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. In 2020 and throughout the pandemic, Luc provided therapeutic concerts and songwriting workshops for college students on lockdown and families separated from each other. In 2022, Luc and The Goodness Tour team traveled to Poland and Ukraine to bring creative therapy to survivors of war.
