Delete. Nothing here is a strong notability claim per WP:NMUSIC, and none of the sourcing is cutting it at all — two of the three footnotes are to primary sources which cannot support notability, and the only reliable source is a neighbourhood community weekly that isn't widely distributed enough to carry a WP:GNG pass all by itself as an article's only acceptable source. As always, every musician is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because he exists — certain specific levels of notability and sourceability have to be attained for an article to become earned, but neither the content nor the sourcing here reaches the necessary levels. In addition, this was started in draftspace at Draft:Lucian Gray by a relatively new user, and then immediately copy-pasted into mainspace by the same user without an WP:AFC review — but that's not what the AFC process is for. As always, no prejudice against recreation in the future when he has enough proper sourcing to show that he passes an NMUSIC criterion, but nothing here is grounds for an article right now.
