Zitat des Tages von Lukas Forchhammer:
When my dad died, my world crumbled.
I think losing my father was OK in the sense that it's cool for me not to have a father; it's normal. I'm supposed to bury my father. But what I didn't realize was that my father was my best friend, and that still gets me... that still irritates me a lot.
Graham was my father's second name, so I took Graham because Lukas Graham sounded cool.
If I moved to L.A., I wouldn't move to a ghetto neighborhood. I'd move to some posh, fancy place.
The furthest I can see is me being 60.
I don't know how to thank all the people listening to our music. It's so amazing to come home to my friends who resist conformity, because they're so happy that I've made it.
I dropped out of law school when I got my record deal.
The last thing I want is for people to say that the music is nice. It's not nice. It sounds good, but it's got grit, and it's got edge. It never veers into sweet.
Dr. Dre's '2001' album changed modern pop music.
I bought a restaurant - that was pretty expensive.
Christiania has a lot of strong, nuclear families. It gave us a sense of empowerment and belonging and richness. We had so much love; we were never in doubt that we were wanted in this world.
It's always more fun when something happens outside of a script.
I never watched any award show.
I write instead of going to the shrink!
Seeing my child born is so much more important than anything else I've got going on.
I find it a very, very powerful thing to be yourself and not to try and be something else and to use that as your biggest shield and your biggest attack in the world - to just be you.
My biggest influence is rap. It spoke to me, probably because of my upbringing in Christiania. You listen to 'The Chronic' and you can hear that anger and frustration.
We mix a lot of genres - soul, pop, jazz - but we most agree on hip-hop.
I don't mind Ed Sheeran, but I wouldn't want to be compared to a guy that builds his song around a guitar, since we do not have a guitar in our band.
When we perform music at TV shows, we always try to do something that's not scripted because anything that's a surprise for the audience and the crew and the other performers, it works better on camera and for the people back home, too.
What hit me in the gut about hip-hop was that someone else grew up tough enough to be angry at the entire system.
Writing is very cathartic for me.
I don't like the whole 'slander, slander' conversation that most political debates are these days. So I tend to keep my political standpoint not to myself, but just relatively private.
The neighborhood where I live has little canals, and there are a lot of houseboats there.
We're talking about growing up in regular families, dreaming about better things, instead of popping bottles in the club and spending a lot of money that you don't have while living in your mother's basement.
I don't think I can remain anonymous for that much longer. It was fun while it lasted. Very fun.
