Lukas Graham dianggotai oleh Lukas Forchhammer sebagai penyanyi utama, Mark Falgren (dram) dan Magnus Larsson (bass). Kumpulan yang menjadikan muzik sebagai jatidiri ini telah dicalonkan dalam tiga kategori yang dipertandingkan pada Anugerah Grammy pada tahun 2017. Di, Malaysia pula Lukas Graham telah menerima Anugerah Multiplatinum.
Kejayaan lagu 7 Years yang menjadi mega hit seluruh dunia telah memberikan impak yang besar buat kumpulan ini sehingga menerima banyak undangan dan perhatian peminat muzik antarabangsa.
Lagu 7 Years sebenarnya tidak mempunyai mesej tentang kesedihan. Lagu ini menceritakan mengenai proses seorang lelaki meningkat dewasa yang menyelitkan mesej kita perlu sentiasa ada impian yang besar.
“Asal usul jangan dilupakan dan lawan semua kata-kata daripada individu yang suka cakap kita tak mampu melakukan sesuatu perkara.”
– Lukas Graham
Aspirasi utama mereka memperjuangkan muzik selama ini adalah untuk memperbaiki kehidupan.
Memetik temubual dari Harian Metro, Lukas berpendapat, pemuzik perlu sentiasa meletakkan sepenuh kepercayaan terhadap lagu mereka. Tidak kira berapa lagu pun yang ditulis, setiap satunya mesti disayangi dan tidak dibazirkan.
“Kami sudah tulis banyak lagu. Album baru kami pun, ada 40 lagu ditulis namun hanya 10 dikeluarkan dan masih berbaki 30 lagu dalam simpanan.”
“Sangat sayang kalau lagu dibazirkan apatah lagi jika ia sangat bagus.”
“Terdahulu, album Blue mencipta kejayaan luar biasa di seluruh dunia manakala ada album lain kami yang kurang berjaya padahal ia secara peribadi sangat bagus di mata saya,”
– Lukas Graham

Performing 4 songs, ‘7 Years’, ‘Stick Around’, ‘You’re Not The Only One (Redemption Song)’ and their latest smash-hit ‘Love Someone’, Lukas despite being without his bandmates Magnus Larsson and Mark Falgren, put on a spectacular show and enamored everyone with his raw emotions and sleek vocals.
The showcase was held in Maveriq Studios and a first of its kind where only 20 lucky fans received the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sit in a recording studio booth with Lukas as he performs his best hits live.
Lukas Graham’s global debut track “7 Years”, which racked up over 23 million units in worldwide consumption, hit number one in 13 different countries and earned the band three GRAMMY® Award nominations – including both Record and Song of the Year.
The breakout smash was the highest-selling single by a debut artist in 2016. They recently released an album, 3 (The Purple Album) which saw lead single “Love Someone” follow in the footsteps of breakout hit “7 Years,” as it peaked at #5 on the Spotify Malaysia charts (currently #7), amassing over 94 million streams and 65 million YouTube views to date.
But Lukas Graham is far from content with such accolades: He’s restless and ready and wants to be known as an artist that supersedes any smash he may have past or present.
With his new full-length, 3 (The Purple Album), the singer looks set to do just that.
