Singer-Songwriter Lukas Forchhammer was brought up in Copenhagen, Denmark inside a small community called Freetown Christiania. There are no cops, cars, or streetlights. Not everyone had a personal toilet and running water, but everyone was happy and content with their simple lives and were always willing to help each other out. That said, Christiana serves as the inspiration for many of Forchhammer’s songs with his band Lukas Graham featuring Kasper Daugaard (keyboard), Mark “Lovestick” Falgren (drums), and Magnus Larsson (bass). Beginning their career back in 2011, the band has been making waves since andm on April 6, 2016, released their widely acclaimed self-titled debut via Warner Bros. Records.

He beat the odds, proving those who bullied him and doubted him that he could still fulfill his musical dream. Read More...
