Biography

Lucas was born in Patrocínio, Minas Gerais, to radio broadcaster Paulo Roberto de Oliveira and Karina Luiza Corrêa de Oliveira. Career Lucas created his first composition at age 11 called "50%". His first performance was also at 11, at a school festival. He began working as a 13-year-old as an office boy before moving on to becoming a salesman in a shopping mall in Belo Horizonte. Later, he also became a professional model for five years where he came to be known by the name Lucas Corrêa. During this time, he made several photographic essays. He also worked as a promoter. He studied a course on advertising in a college in Patos de Minas, but decided to give it up to dedicate himself to his career. He was also part of a trio sertanejo called "Skypiras".

Early career

The beginning of Lucas' musical career started with the recording of the song "Amor Bipolar" in 2011, which was made available on YouTube. Eventually, the businessman Rodrigo Byça saw the video and contacted him. A few days after dropping his modelling career to enter the music scene, he was patronized by the duo Israel & Rodolffo, and they began to perform together. They recorded the song "Previsões".

The singer's song "Pra Te Fazer Lembrar" reached almost 10 million hits on YouTube. A few months later, he released two new singles "Plano B" and "Pac Man", which he later performed at the Caldas Country 2012 festival in Caldas Novas, Goiás. He eventually decided to pursue a new musical style called arrocha, saying: "I used to be more romantic. Then when I saw that 'Plan B,' an arrocha song, worked, I wanted to compose more in this style."

He was also labeled by various media as "the new popstar of Brazilian music."

It was a way of expressing my affection".
