Lukas first ventured onto the music scene with two Canadian bands, Cleavage (1995-2005) and Rise Electric (2005-2006), which helped prepare him for what was to come. He entered and won the competition television show Rock Star: Supernova (2006) which earned him front man status with Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Jason Newsted (Metallica), and Gilby Clark (Guns N' Roses). Their band Rock Star Supernova completed an album and a world tour of the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Following the tour, Lukas returned to Los Angeles and began writing and recording new music. The Love and Lust EP (June 2007) was released and he completed the solo acoustic Love and Lust Tour, making over two dozen stops throughout the United States and Canada. The new material was well-received by fans, and the band Stars Down was born (2008-present). After touring with his new band, Lukas began playing local gigs at such southern California hot spots as The Roxy, The Key Club, The Mint, and Viper Room.
The year 2010 kicked off with a mini East Coast tour and Lukas working on his first full length album. Hollywood was released (July 2010) and debuted live at West Hollywood’s famous Viper Room. The all acoustic Hollywood Stripped followed (August 2010). After moving to Nashville, in addition to local and out-of-town gigs, he wrote, recorded, produced, and released six additional recordings. The first three were Seed EP (December 2010), Story Teller (January 2011), and Super, Sex, Magic (February 2011). He also co-wrote, provided vocals, and recorded several music videos for a side-project, Switchblade Glory (April 2011). Lukas released Prophecy (November 2011) and Christmas Collection (December 2011) to complete a very busy year. But he wasn’t finished, releasing the album 8 Days (April 2012) soon after.
Lukas has appeared on many media outlets, including performing live at the 2006 Gemini awards, the CBS television series Rock Star: Supernova (18 million viewers worldwide), Ellen, Regis & Kelly, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, Entertainment Tonight, The Howard Stern Show, and ET Canada.
In addition to his vocal talent, Lukas plays multiple instruments, is a songwriter, producer, actor, and vocal instructor. He currently resides with his wife Kendra in Nashville, Tennessee.

All These Things That I've Done
Lukas Rossi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I'm so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out, yeah
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out, yeah.
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out, yeah.
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah.
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Over and out, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

Line by Line Meaning
When there's nowhere else to run
When you feel trapped and have no escape
Is there room for one more son
Is there space for one more person
One more son
One more individual
If you can hold on
If you can persevere
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
I want to take a stand and release my inhibitions
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
You might think you understand, but you actually don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want to inspire and have a significant impact on people
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
I desire significance or purpose even though I feel broken
Another head aches, another heart breaks
More problems and heartaches arise
I'm so much older than I can take
The weight of my experiences is overwhelming
And my affection, well it comes and goes
My emotions and love fluctuate
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
I require guidance or clarity to reach my potential
Help me out
Assist me
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
You are aware that you must support me
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
Don't neglect or ignore me
You're gonna bring yourself down
You will lower your own status or morale
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I possess spirit or passion, but I am not a warrior
You know you got to help me out, yeah.
You understand the importance of aiding me
Over and out, last call for sin
It's the end, final chance to let go of wrongdoing
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
Even though everyone feels confused or lost, we have emerged victorious
With all these things that I've done
Considering all the actions or choices I have made
If you can hold on
If you can remain resilient
