Jean-Philip Grobler, known for his musical project St. Lucia, is a South African singer and musician based in Konstanz, Germany. The band is named after the town of the same name in South Africa.
Grobler started making music when he was 12 years old. He was inspired by Boyz II Men, Michael Jackson, Sting and Phil Collins. He soon was experimenting with rock music; however, after 10 years, he got bored with it and got back to the 80s music influences from his childhood.
