Living a dream
With a new single out this week, North Texas trans singer Luke Chacko is on the rise MELISSA WHITLER | Dallas Voice Interneditor@dallasvoice.com Local musician Luke Chacko — whose new single, “The Invitation” is out today (Friday, June 30) — said this week that their performance earlier this month in their hometown for Arlington Pride this month was the first festival they’ve done, and only their second time ever to attend a Pride event.
Growing up, Chacko, now 17, dreamed of performing at Levitt Pavilion and sharing their music with their community. This was, they said, a huge moment for them, performing in front of so many people and connecting with the LGBTQ community.
Chacko was a hit at Arlington Pride and really connected with the audience. They found themselves swarmed by a crowd as they came off stage, signaling that they truly are a local Arlington celebrity.
For one of the first times, Chacko said, they felt like they were being recognized for who they are, including their personality, honesty and music.
