Learning how to play piano, electric guitar, and the drums were Luke’s first involvement with music — and he did it all before 6th grade. With a move across country from New Jersey to Jackson, Wyoming, the distance between learning and playing new instruments got larger. It wasn’t until several years later that Luke began to mess around with freestyling during his high school years spent at Jackson Hole High. Evolving his newly found musical expression into writing detailed lyrics, he began to find that he could vent the stresses of his everyday life through creating music. Slowly progressing through the years of his new town where he calls home; balancing school, life, and music developed Luke to become Abstract.
Trying to find his sound was a young teenager who just looked to get something written down and then translated into music, and eventually rap. Still in his caterpillar stage of metamorphosis was a young Abstract who released his first ever collection of songs, properly named The Dream.
In 2012, through YouTube, Abstract met Craig McAllister, a producer from Glasgow, Scotland. During that period, Abstract was in the midst of working on On My Own Time and was the first time Craig showed up with Abstract. Afterwards, the duo started to mesh extremely well and produced the five projects, Under Lights & Microscopes, A Life To Live By, Dreaming With Eyes Open, The Science Of Feeling Tall, and We Are The Artist.
Still working closely with Craig, Abstract was soon contacted by Drumma Battalion — producing duo Patrick and Glenn from Norway — due to Abstract’s popularity and view count rising from popular YouTube channels such as SwagyTracks, FPM Music, and BestModernMusic. Together, the three teamed up to do the full project Looking For Forever.
Later, Abstract and Blulake met online and created their hit single “Neverland,” which was the start to a new artist/producer combination. With all the success from “Neverland,” time would be all that it took for Abstract and Blulake to come together and create AltRock Graffiti, the six-track rock/soft rock sample-EP.
Today, Abstract is dabbling on learning how to produce for himself and continues to work with and have shared success with Craig McAllister, Drumma Battalion, and Blulake.
What makes Abstract truly in a league of few and far between is his lyrical versatility and unique flow. Leaving nothing untouched, Abstract alters his records with various topics that can range from love/relationships to success to political topics or even humanity and mankind itself. Always promising to keep it interesting, the instrumentals/producers that Abstract works with always provides something new to where the demonstration of skill, flow and lyrically wise, is always proved.
Referring to his team and fans as “ATWW,” an anagram for “A Team Worldwide,” Abstract is always making it clear how much of an impact the internet has been on his craft, both in creating his music and sharing it.
Abstract has grown a truly dedicated fanbase from all over the world with his unique ability to create and transform music. Abstract has been accredited by popular music blogs such as College Of Music, Ok-Tho, SpeakerGems, The Place For Things, and This Song Slaps. Garnishing monstrous success on platforms such as SoundCloud, YouTube, SwagyTracks, and Spotify, Abstract has managed to rake in incredible amounts of views/listens with over 340 thousand monthly listeners on Spotify — and through the various social media and music sharing sites above, has a combined 130+ thousand followers.
In 2016, Abstract, Blulake, & Drumma Battalion met up in Sweden for the first time to create their debut album, Something To Write Home About. The album chronicled the last six years of Abstract’s life and rise. A journey from dark to light, the album gave birth to a slew of hits, including “I Do This” by Roze, Abstract, and Drumma and “22” by Delaney Kai, Abstract, and Blulake. The album charted on iTunes Hip-Hop in fifteen different countries, truly cementing Abstracts fan base as “A Team Worldwide.”
In early 2017, Abstract was invited on his first tour by New York phenom, Yonas. Since then he has gone on multiple tours, both overseas and in-States. Abstract and his team have spent the last year releasing singles while working on a massive album behind the scenes. What’s next to come is sure to be a “movie”.

Neverland
Abstract Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for a while
He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely."
And ever since that day...
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely.
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely.
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely.
And ever since that day...
In these fast times, chasing life lines for a life time
I've had my heart in the right place at the wrong time
With the right girl in another world
Maybe we would be together still
If you hear this and resent that
I don't give a shit I'll let it spill
I don't give a damn I'll keep it real
Cause by now I hope you know the drill
I would never lie, young forever
I ain't ever gonna die, told me grow up but I went and showed 'em why
I could make it I
Showed 'em the power in youth
Power in truth
The younger you stay the closer you are to your roots
That's the reason I do
I can teach how to hit the skies
Rise above 'em without getting high
But if it help a bit, take a lil' hit, take a lil' sip, put your mind at ease
Swear you got the keys, you can have your dreams, that's up to you not what others believe
Geez
I swear that's the part that took longest for me
Cause when I drop into a beat
I detach from the world view it under my feet
Orbit around with my dreams and there I perceive my reality and what it means
Music is where I can breathe, a world in between
What I am, what I was, what i will be
It's the only place that I feel free, hope you feel me
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me
Away from all of reality
And He said
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely.
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely.
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely.
And ever since that day...
You ain't ever gotta be alone
I found company inside a song
Take it off your chest throw it in a poem
If they try to flex show 'em where you going
Hating on your past, kill 'em with your moment
When you get the chance drive it like you stole it
She said I don't want to grow up
I gotta go keep my passions alive
Please say you've heard of a place I can fly
Where nothing's impossible, that's where I gotta go
They said the only way up was to get in line
I'm tellin you that somebody lied
As someone who's been to the otherside
Blurring the lines between earth and mind
She's a lost girl in a lost world but I know what she's tryna find
Some call it music
I call it never land
Where we can take flight and don't have to ever land
You can stay young forever if you follow your heart
Know a 9-5 tear the soul apart
Keep it safe you can keep your soul in art
We can't live a lie, we would rather die, if I don't live for this I am not alive
I don't deserve the breathe, I don't deserve the steps, don't deserve the criticism or compliments
This is who I am, this is what I do
Outside of never land I don't have a clue
They call us lost but this is the place where I was found
Take my hand Wendy we're home now
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me
Away from all of reality
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely.
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely.
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely.
And ever since that day...
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes

Told me he wanted to talk for a while

The lyrics of Abstract's song Neverland are a metaphor for escaping reality and finding solace in creativity and self-expression, which is key thematically. The song speaks to those who feel lost in life and are searching for a place where they belong. The song seems inspired by the story of Peter Pan, in which the titular character takes a group of lost boys to Neverland, a place where they never age and are free to live without the pressures of adult life.
The opening lines of the song describe the singer as being lost and alone, with no one to turn to. However, they meet a friendly stranger who introduces himself as Peter Pan, offering to lead them to a place where they will never feel lonely again. The lyrics go on to describe this magical land of Neverland, where the singer is free to be themselves, and there they don't have to worry about the realities of mundane life. The rest of the song speaks to the transformative power of creativity, music, and art, and how it can take us to a different world where we can be whoever we want to be and express ourselves freely.
Overall, the song is a celebration of youth, freedom, and creativity, urging young people who may feel lost or disconnected from society to hold onto their passions and not lose sight of what makes them unique.

There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for a while
He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me

And ever since that day
[Chorus: Abstract & Ruth B]
Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)
I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)
Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)
I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)
Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)
I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)
[Post-Chorus: Ruth B]
And ever since that day
[Verse 1: Abstract]
In these fast times, chasing lifelines for a lifetime
I've had my heart in the right place at the wrong time
With the right girl in another world, maybe we would be together still
If you hear this and resent that, I don't give a shit I'll let it spill
I don't give a damn, I'll keep it real
'Cause by now I hope you know the drill
I would never lie; young forever, I ain't ever gonna die
Told me, "Grow up," but I went and showed 'em why
I could make it, I showed 'em the power in youth, power in truth
The younger you stay, the closer you are to your roots, that's the reason I do
I can teach how to hit the skies
Rise above 'em without getting high
But if it help a bit, take a lil' hit
Take a lil' sip, put your mind at ease
Swear you got the keys, you can have your dreams
That's up to you, not what others believe, jeez
I swear that's the part that took longest for me
'Cause when I drop into a beat
I detach from the world, view it under my feet
Orbit around with my dreams and there I perceive my reality and what it means
Music is where I can breathe, a world in between
What I am, what I was, what I will be
It's the only place that I feel free, hope you feel me
[Pre-Chorus: Ruth B]
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored, we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me
Away from all of reality, he said
[Chorus: Ruth B]
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely

And ever since that day
[Verse 2: Abstract]
You ain't ever gotta be alone

You can stay young forever if you follow your heart

Keep it safe, you can keep your soul in art
We can't live a lie, we would rather die
If I don't live for this, I am not alive
I don't deserve the breath, I don't deserve the steps
Don't deserve the criticism or compliments
This is who I am, this is what I do
Outside of Neverland, I don't have a clue
They call us lost, but this is the place where I was found
Take my hand, Wendy, we're home now

I am a lost boy from Neverland

And when we're bored, we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook

There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon🌙
And even sometimes he would go away, too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
