The Arctic is the creative moniker of Luke Vandevert, an award-winning Canadian/American songwriter and filmmaker residing in British Columbia. Originally from Ketchikan Alaska, Luke has an affinity for the ocean and the cold.
Having one foot in music and one foot in film allows Luke to create through different mediums of art. Whether it’s writing songs for life and worship or directing a friend’s music video, The Arctic strives to bring those worlds together under the banner of faith and friendship. Luke has collaborated with many talented artists in both music and film, including Brian Doerksen, Carolyn Arends, Amy Grant, Ryan McAllister, Coalmont, Marika, Carly Reirson, Achor, Daniel Kikkert, Alex Toney, and many more.
The Arctic's first EP "Reverberate" is now available in our store and available on iTunes, Spotify, CDBaby, Bandcamp, and others.
“If you're looking for some new music with a worshipful message, look no further than The Arctic's introduction. Reverberate could be just the thing you're hoping to find.” - JesusFreakHideout.com
“[Diversity] Love this song and the message. Been on my mind ever since I saw @TheArcticMusic & @RikaSiewert perform it live! Gonna have to play this on the radio soon! - Matt Caine of JOY RADIO
