Aside from being a talented singer, Lucas has also collaborated with some of the industry’s top producers who have worked with global sensations, like former Disney Channel star Gomez, to produce his new EP.

For the past 18 months, the young musician has been in Los Angeles, recording, filming and preparing to return to the music scene following a five-year hiatus.

This month, he will release a collection of new tracks, starting with the first song from his EP ‘ghosts of you’ on Friday, February 2, on all major streaming platforms.

Lucas said the release was a significant moment for him personally and professionally.

“It’s about embracing my authentic self, navigating heartbreak, and sharing my truth with the world,” he said.

“I hope it resonates with others going through similar experiences.”

Since coming out as gay in 2019, Lucas has experienced the whirlwind that is young love and loss.

Through raw and vulnerable lyrics, listeners get an intimate glimpse into this journey, and they are “vibing” it.

Fans who caught a glimpse of the upcoming release on social media are already talking about its potential as an Australian entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest.

With his fans’ anticipation building and Lucas continuing to push the boundaries of his musical prowess, the Shepparton artist’s potential knows no bounds.
