About Luka Cruysberghs

Luka Cruysberghs, born on December 5, 2000, is a singer-songwriter from Leuven. In 2017, she won as the youngest participant of The Voice of Flanders and shortly after became the vocalist of Hooverphonic in 2018, replacing Noemie Wolfs, who had left the band after four albums.

Hooverphonic were supposed to represent Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam with their song "Release Me". The event was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hooverphonic was the only Eurovision entrant for 2020 who refused to take part in the "Love Shine a Light" performance, where entrants each contributed sections of the song, although a photograph of Cruysberghs was included with the other participants making a hand heart at the end.

On 9 November 2020, Cruysberghs was fired from the band to make way for the return of previous vocalist Geike Arnaert, who had been their frontperson during their most commercially successful period.

Cruysberghs embarked on a solo career following her ouster from Hooverphonic
