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.

Burning Bridges
Lukas Rossi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw your face and cried cause you left me there to die.
Well maybe love is different.
Maybe love has changed.
Maybe loves' the reason that's causing this pain.
I'm letting you go.
[Chorus:]
No it's not too complicated, I just think you're overrated.
Burning bridges in June and it's all cause of you.
No it's not too complicated, I just think you're overrated.
You always said that you'd be a star way in California.
You always said I considder myself a little self centered.
I know there aint' nothing wrong with me.
Cause you're a beautiful mess to me.
Well maybe loves' the reason that is causing me this pain.
I'm letting you go.
[Chorus:]
Burning bridges in June and it's all cause of you.
No it's not too complicated, I just think you're overrated.
Burning bridges in June and it's all cause of you.
No it's not too complicated, I just think you're overrated.
But I gave you all that's left, I'm so sorry.
I tried to give you my life and glory.
But I'm over you. Are you over me?
I think that maybe this time, maybe this time
[Chorus:]
We're burning bridges in June and it's all cause of you.
No it's not too complicated, I just think you're overrated.
Burning bridges in June and it's all cause of you.
No it's not too complicated, I just think you're overrated.
Maybe someday you'll see,
No one gets the best of me.
Well I'm here standing tall.
Don't need no one at all.
I don't need no one at all.
No one at all.
Ooo...
