Lutalo ‘Sweet Lu’ Olutosin

Lutalo Olutosin [pronounced O-la-TO-sin]

Born in East Chicago, Indiana. Raised during early life in Gary, Indiana, Lutalo (Lu) moved to the South East in the mid 1970’s. Influenced heavily by a family filled with Gospel singers and musicians, he followed suit until hearing an Eddie Jefferson song on the radio. Everything changed, especially his approach to listening, judging, and singing the music that inspired him.
