Biography
Luques was born in Hartford, Connecticut and raised in the neighboring town of Windsor. He began playing the bass at 12 years old and attended the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts and the Artists Collective, Inc. founded by Jackie McLean and Paul (PB) Brown. After high school, he earned a full scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College Of Music, where he studied with John Lockwood and Ron Mahdi. While in Boston, he was also able to work with great musicians such as Gary Burton, Ralph Peterson, Donald Harrison, Christian Scott, and Francisco Mela. Luques collaborated with his older brother Zaccai Curtis and formed a group called Insight. The group released their first album ‘A Genesis’ in 2006 and then also formed The Curtis Brothers and The Curtis Brothers Quartet.[1] They have released multiple records with their groups on their record label Truth Revolution Records.
