Lukas Forchhammer[1] (born 18 September 1988) is a Danish singer, songwriter and actor. He is the lead singer of the Danish band Lukas Graham, and starred in the Danish family movies Krummerne in his early years.[2]
Early life

Forchhammer grew up in an alternative community in the centre of Copenhagen called Freetown Christiania. He joined the Copenhagen Boys' Choir and developed not only an appreciation for classical music but a trained voice. He became fascinated with his father's Irish roots, the country's folk music, as well as hip-hop – "Dr. Dre's 2001 changed my life," he said. His father was Irish and he spent half of his childhood in Ireland in Cork and Kilkenny, so he never felt Danish because of ExPat society. His grandfather was from Wicklow in Ireland.[3]
After spending six months in Buenos Aires, Forchhammer returned to Christiania in 2010, where he joined the writing team Future Animals – Don Stefano and Rissi Royall.
