L.U.S.T. Biography

Who can resist four super stars packaged together in one super group called L.U.S.T.? The group is comprised of Lukie D, Trilla U, Singing Melody and Tony Curtis. L.U.S.T. guarantees to have any audience, whether young or old; local or international, rocking all the way through to the end of their performances, with an outstanding repertoire of chart topping songs.

Together, the group L.U.S.T. is a “goldmine” as one member puts it, each person bringing his individual success and experience to benefit the group as a whole.

Music Productions, L.U.S.T. is an unmovable fixture in the past, present and future of Jamaica’s genre of music.

S.H.E.M. is the brainchild of L.U.S.T. member Everton “Singing Melody” Hardweare and co-producer/partner Michael Steer. It provides the group with the environment they need to write songs and produce their own music. After a string of hit singles the group is now focused on releasing their first album in 2006.
