Dee Lucas is a critically-acclaimed contemporary jazz saxophonist who has spent the past 20 years building a career defined by smooth grooves, heartfelt melodies, and unshakable dedication to his craft. 
Known for his signature sound and genre-blending style, Lucas seamlessly fuses jazz with elements of R&B, funk, and gospel—creating a unique but smooth sound that’s both accessible and emotionally resonant.  He has carved a distinctive niche as one of the most consistent and versatile artists in the genre.
A self-taught musician, Lucas began his solo career in 2004 with the release of Remembrance, a heartfelt tribute to legendary saxophonist George Howard.  Since then, it has been a steady stream of critically acclaimed projects totaling 11 including fan favorites like Going Left, Something to Ride 2, The Time Is Now, and No Boundaries. His current album, Twenty, marks a celebratory milestone in his two-decade journey as a solo artist.
Lucas’s artistry extends beyond the studio. He’s a dynamic live performer in which his shows are marked by rich musicality and a genuine connection with his audience. 
As founder and CEO of the independent label ODL Music, Lucas maintains full creative control over his music and business, demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to artistic integrity. The label’s distribution partnerships with The Orchard/Sony Music (digital) and CPI Distribution (physical) provide a strong platform for his continued growth. 
Whether in the studio, on stage, or behind the scenes, Dee Lucas has earned the respect as a true ambassador and contributor of contemporary jazz—continually evolving while staying rooted in authenticity.
