Luke McQuillan is an author, composer, and voice actor. His first novel, Love in the Light: A Musical Novel, combines all three of his fields. He has done audiobooks, commercials, and featured roles on Cartoon Network’s long-running-hit, “The Amazing World of Gumball,” Netflix's "Farzar," and the Emmy Award winning PBS series, “Illinois Stories.” Success online includes over 30k followers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and more. Luke's work has attracted the attention of industry legends such as Lady Gaga, who reposted Luke's impression of Bea Arthur singing one of her songs - and Billboard Magazine record-setter, Sophie B. Hawkins, who shared Luke’s cover of her hit, “As I Lay Me Down.” Luke graduated with high honors from Illinois College with a degree in theatre and upon graduating, won the college's top award in the arts for an original musical he wrote and directed called Maiden of the Sun.
