Career

Lukas Graham's sophomore release, the self-titled international album Lukas Graham (2015) alternatively known as the Blue Album, was released in Denmark on 16 June 2015 debuting at No. 1 for 15 consecutive weeks and has since yielded four Number 1 singles, including "7 Years".[2]

The Future Animals finalized Lukas Graham's 2016 U.S. debut album, which was released on 1 April 2016. "7 Years" has topped iTunes USA Top 100 most downloaded singles and currently has found its way to three consecutive weeks at No. 2 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles. He has also produced songs for singers Selena Gomez, Julia Michaels[3] and Hailee Steinfeld. In 2019 he released the album Last Summer through his Future Animals outfit.[4] Forrest is also the founder of the Rocket Science record company, through which he has released original music.[4]
