This year he decided to follow in his dad’s footsteps, Aaron Benward, a 16 year veteran in the music business. Luke recently signed a production deal with In Crowd Productions who’s collective credits include: Hilary Duff, India Arie, Backstreet Boys, Mat Kearney, Death Cab for Cutie, and the Jonas Brothers.
At first glance, Luke Benward appears like any other typical thirteen year old boy. Born and raised in Franklin, Tennessee, he spends his free time like most kids his age: playing football, video games, break dancing and practicing on his new electric guitar. Lucky for Hollywood, Benward is not just your average 7th grader. Part of an entertainment family, Luke caught the acting bug by tagging along to auditions with his Mother, actress, and theatrical coach Kenda Benward.
Luke’s first break was at the age of five, appearing along side Mel Gibson in We Were Soldiers. At six years of age, he was cast in the television pilot Life on the Water and by age seven starred in the television pilot for the WB series Family Affair featuring Tim Curry and Gary Cole. He was cast as the southern speaking, toothpick chewing Stevie Dewberry in the family film Because of Winn Dixie at age 8. During the fall of 2006, movie goers laughed as Luke (Billy Forrester) choked down ten worms in the hit Walden Media Film How To Eat Fried Worms. Most recently, Benward played the brainy Charlie Tuttle, who invents a time machine that allows him to travel 48 hours into the past in Disney Channel's Minutemen. In 2008, buckle your seat belt as Luke takes on "three sorry thieves, four furry paws and five million bucks" in Diamond Dog Caper.

Strapping in, ready for the ride
Going big now that I can take it
All the way to cloud 9
Dropping in, wanna feel the rush now
Sun is out, the wind is in my hair
Nothing else could be quite as awesome
So here we go, and we ain't gonna take it slow
We're ready now to touch the sky
This must be how it feels to fly
I'm on cloud 9, I'm on cloud 9
This must be how it feels to fly
I'm on cloud 9, oh oh
Don't give up, keep on taking chances
Put in time, till you get it right
Winding up, swinging for the fences
Won't go down without a fight
Going hard, push it to the limit
To the edge, go to the extreme
There's no doubt that I'm gonna win it
Never giving up the dream
So here we go, and we ain't gonna take it slow
We're ready now to touch the sky
This must be how it feels to fly
I'm on cloud 9, I'm on cloud 9
This must be how it feels to fly
I'm on cloud 9, I'm on cloud 9 I'm on cloud 9
This must be how it feels to fly
I'm on cloud 9, oh oh
So here we go, and we ain't gonna take it slow
We're ready now to touch the sky
This must be how it feels to fly
I'm on cloud 9, I'm on cloud 9
This must be how it feels to fly
I'm on cloud 9, I'm on cloud 9, I'm on cloud 9
This must be how it feels to fly
I'm on cloud 9, oh oh
