Luc Reynaud Speaker Biography
Luc Reynaud is a multidisciplinary innovator dedicated to advancing humanity through creative endeavors. As a gifted songwriter, performer, producer, speaker, actor, screenwriter, and humanitarian, Luc uses his art to unite people, bridge divides, and elicit feelings of freedom, self-love, and joy. In 2005, he wrote a song called The Freedom Song with youth in an evacuation shelter after Hurricane Katrina, which later Grammy Award winner Jason Mraz would cover and turn into an international success. Through Jason Mraz and the organization Free The Slaves, The Freedom Song also became an anthem for former child slaves in Ghana. This life-altering experience showed Luc that he could combine his passions for music and service into one. In 2007, he founded a World-Soul-Reggae band called Luc and the Lovingtons and soon after co-founded a non-profit called The Goodness Tour: Music and Art for People Facing Adversity. Through The Goodness Tour, Luc and his band and a team of multidisciplinary artists travel to Refugee Camps, Disaster Zones, Recovery Centers, and more to instigate creativity as a beacon of empowerment and healing. Luc has since written and produced songs with thousands of youth and adults across the globe, from disaster survivors to refugees to celebrities.
In 2015, Luc gave a TEDx talk on the incredible Freedom Song story called “To Open Your World, Trust Your Intuition.” In 2016, Luc co-wrote, sang, and co-produced the Welcome to My House song and video project in the Zaatari Syrian Refugee Camp. In 2017, Luc was the creative visionary and project director behind a post-hurricane Maria song written by over 100 Puerto Ricans called “A Celebrar,” which raised money to bring solar power to homes in desperate need of electricity in the mountains of Puerto Rico. In 2019, Luc helped teenagers from Abaco Bahamas write a musical in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. In 2020 and throughout the pandemic, Luc provided therapeutic concerts and songwriting workshops for college students on lockdown and families separated from each other. In 2022, Luc and The Goodness Tour team traveled to Poland and Ukraine to bring creative therapy to survivors of war.
Since 2023 to current, Luc has initiated a new mental health focused program called TALK BETTER. This program has been provided to thousands of youth thus far from middle school to University level and begins with an interactive storytelling concert followed by extended empowerment activities focused on self discovery, self compassion and enhancing mental wellness through inspiring humans of all ages to TALK BETTER to themselves.

Boundless Creativity: Building a Life/Career Shaped by Your Heart

Enriched with live musical performances by Luc and highly entertaining audience participation that exemplify the themes being presented, Luc draws from his own experience sharing how listening to his heart led him to volunteer after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. There, he unexpectedly co-wrote "The Freedom Song" with youth survivors— a track later covered by a two-time Grammy winner and turned into an international hit. This breakthrough led to stadium tours for Luc and his band, global travels with freedom-focused organizations, and eventually Luc co-founding of The Goodness Tour an organization that harnesses the power of art and creativity to uplift people in refugee camps, disaster zones, and other crisis areas.
Luc emphasizes that following our inner guidance and embracing a limitless mindset can set off a series of transformative steps, crafting a life beyond our wildest dreams. He explores the profound connection between service, joy, and fulfillment.
