Luke and Q were an American R&B duo from New Orleans, consisting of Luke Boyd and Quinten Spears. They are best known for their 2006 single, "My Turn".
The duo met in eighth-grade when Boyd overheard Spears singing Ginuwine's "Same Ol' G". As Boyd recalls, "I was, like, You can sing, dog, but you may want to flip it," who then belted his version. They joined another childhood friend and formed a trio called Upskale, but the group disbanded almost as quickly as it began. The duo then began performing at local events, each landing roles as background vocalists for R&B singer Tyrese.[1]
Through Tyrese, they met production duo Damon Thomas and Harvey Mason Jr. of The Underdogs for Underdog Entertainment, and were introduced to Clive Davis who subsequently signed them to the J Records imprint in 2004. They released their debut song called, "My Turn".[2] Spears has been inactive in the mainstream music business since.
