South Florida native Lucas has been responsible for selling over 16 million albums. However, he credits his greatest achievements to his involvement with charitable organizations focusing on children and his community.
“Music builds character and confidence for our young people, expands their outlook and helps them to navigate a path to success in life. I am proud to provide support and celebrate the work of these individuals and their organizations who are leading the efforts to fill in the gap of music instruments in schools, where music has been removed, states Lucas.
