Danish soul-pop quartet Lukas Graham has become a hit on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to a string of catchy-as-heck anthems that combine radio-ready hooks with a bit of edge courtesy of the band's hard-knocks background. They call their accessible yet gritty sound "ghetto-pop", and it's a product of their upbringing in a marginalized, rough-and-tumble Copenhagen neighborhood. The foursome may have seen hard times, but you'd never know it at their live shows, where they crackle with celebratory energy and treat ticket buyers to an all-out pop party. Frontman Lukas Graham Forchhammer can seriously belt, and he always wears his heart on his sleeveódespite the fact that he usually performs shirtless. His emotional vocals on soaring hits like "7 Years" and "Mama Said" are matched at every turn by the rest of the band and their energetic playing, making for an upbeat concert experience that always ends on a high note.

GRAMMY Award-nominated multiplatinum Lukas Graham hails from Christiania, an autonomous, artistic community in the center of Copenhagen, Lukas Graham developed his natural talent for honest and gritty songwriting and quickly captivated the European audience, earning widespread overseas acclaim. Classically trained with the Copenhagen Boys' Choir, with a musical scope widened by his Irish folk roots and passion for hip-hop, Lukas Graham possesses a distinct, poetic ability to capture the full range of emotions in his music. This is showcased perfectly on lead single "7 Years," filled with Lukas' impeccable lyricism and infectious hooks, and already making huge global waves: it's been streamed an incredible 100 million times worldwide since its release, is rapidly climbing the charts globally, and is propelling this Danish artist into the spotlight as more listeners connect with his soulful vocals and raw talent. Known for a phenomenal live show, Lukas has played countless sold out shows and festival main stage slots alongside his bandmates - Mark "Lovestick" Falgren (drums), Magnús "Magnúm" Larsson (bass), and Kasper Daugaard (keyboard) - childhood friends who play an integral role in both the songwriting process and the live performance.
