Luke Vajsar was born in Prague, Czech Republic on May 17, 1979. In 1989 he immigrated to Hamilton, Canada with his brother and parents. When he was given the opportunity to play music at the age of 10 in elementary school, he immediately became very interested. Even though he selected bass as his instrument he was given the trombone by his teacher and developed his skills on the instrument to a level where he was an important part in the best of big bands in his city and neighboring regions; winning national and provincial awards through to 1999. Also, he began playing guitar at this time and kept playing till finally he got his hands on a bass at the age of 13. He transferred his guitar skills to bass playing and became involved with many bands and musicians from his neighborhood. Throughout this time he became inspired to perform solo as well. Solo bass performances led to the recording of two experimental jazz solo albums “Rough Times? Good Times?” and “In the Loop.” Luke is now a fulltime member of a band named CODEX (www.myspace.com/codexmusic) and is constantly performing solo or with guests. He now lives in Toronto Ontario where he has secured a group of musician contacts and fans that push each other to constantly perform and develop their skills to the highest degree.
