Lukas Forchhammer Biography
Lukas Forchhammer is a Danish singer, songwriter and former actor. He is the lead vocalist for the Danish pop and soul band, Lukas Graham.
He began singing at the age of 3 and started classical training at 8 and joined the Copenhagen Boys’ Choir. Forchhammer pursued a law degree, attending classes before he dropped out upon signing his record deal. Prior to this, he started writing songs in his teen years and by 2010 he had taken the name Lukas Graham (Graham is his father’s middle name).
He enlisted his childhood friends to form a band which now trades under his name. No matter how much I’ve tried, the other lads just aren’t lyricists. The band began by signing to Copenhagen Records, which was a local Universal – subsidiary, which suggested that they film some ”noncorporate-looking material” to put online in order to create a faux underground buzz.
It was reported that the group was unsigned who put a video on YouTube but he says that that’s not how it happened. However, the plan worked and their videos blew up on the Internet and the group is now signed to Warner Bros. worldwide. The other group members are drummer Mark Falgren a.k.a Lovestick, and bassist Magnus Larsson a.k.a Magnum.
The group has released 3 albums as of 2018: Lukas Graham, Blue Album and 3 The Purple Album. The debut self-titled album was released in 2012 by Copenhagen Records and Then We Take the World labels.
