More Info about the subject:

Locke was inspired to enter the entertainment industry professionally by the work of his sisters, Tembi Locke (actress) and Attica Locke (writer). He began his career in film and television when he portrayed a young Jimi Hendrix in the Silver Lake Film Festival[5] award-winning short, "A Technicolor Dream". In addition to numerous commercials, pilots and shorts, he most recently appeared in episodes of the hit television shows, House M.D. and Bones. He has appeared in international print campaigns for Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Bacardi, Subaru and others. Locke has a cameo roles in the horror film Excess Flesh, and the Hallie Myers-Schyer film Home Again starring Reese Witherspoon.

In 2015 Locke released his debut EP “Blue Heart” featuring #ThisCouldBeUs[6] as the lead single.
