DJ For A Day: Lucan's DJ Luke is here to take over!

It's time to meet another DJ For A Day - here's our superstar Luke! He loves his family, his music and a whole lot more!!

Tune in this and every Saturday at 4pm on RTÉjr Radio - listen back here!

But first, let's find out a bit more about our main man. Luke is 7 and he just loves karate. He is in Kantanni Karate Do in Lucan. He plays football with AGP Football Club.

When's he's not out playing he gets building in Minecraft. Our DJ loves the creative possibilities of building houses, bases and even schools. His building moves into the real world when he engineers all kinds of structures using Lego with his brother Daniel. Somehow, he finds time to go swimming and he plays drums and electric guitar!

Luke's #1 singer is Justin Hawkins from The Darkness.

Luke has Type 1 Diabetes and is ever grateful to the nurses and doctors at Crumlin Children's Hospital, who've really looked after him since his diagnosis. He’s not on his own as he has a friend Abbie who has Diabetes too. Having someone else who understands what he’s going through is just the best.

Speaking of rocking out, Luke's favourite singer is Justin Hawkins from The Darkness. When Luke was first in hospital, Justin sent him a very special video, changing the lyrics of their most famous song from "I believe in a Thing called Love" to "I Believe in a thing called Luke!"

So, make sure to head to RTÉjr Radio on Saturday at 4pm!

You can listen back to other DJs here too.

We're on the hunt for more DJ talent. If you're aged from 4-12 and would like to share some of your favourite songs with the nation, get in touch and we'll tell you how you can take part.
