Openly gay Luke Cazwell rose to fame as rapper and singer Cazwell after his 2006 album debut Get Into It. He got his start in the late 90’s performing in a duo called Morplay with female MC Crasta Yo before moving to New York City. In 2003 Cazwell released his first solo single and began to get noticed in the neighborhood. He toured with Logo’s “True Colors Tour” with 15 other artists including Margaret Cho as MC and Cyndi Lauper headlining.
Most of Cazwell’s music focuses on gay and lesbian themes with urban qualities mixed in. Most of his music videos are played frequently on Logo except for “All Over Your Face” which was banned from the LGBTQ television channel for explicit sexual content. The rapper has also appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race and Watch What Happens: Live, his last album was released in 2013 and he is currently working on his next one.
