Forchhammer grew up in a small community in the centre of Copenhagen called Christiania.
He is the lead singer of the Danish band Lukas Graham, and starred in the Danish family movies Krummerne in his early years. He joined the Copenhagen Boys" Choir and developed not only an appreciation for classical music but a finely trained voice. He became fascinated with his father"s Irish roots and the country"s folk music
Coupled with hip-hop — as he admits, "Doctor Dre"s 2001 changed my life" — he began to architect a singular style that transcended international barriers and cultural boundaries.
After spending six months in Buenos Aires to clear his head and get away from the darker side of his hometown, Forchhammer brought that sound back to Christiania in 2010, where he joined forces with his writing team Future Animals Don Stefano and Rissi Royall.
