December 6, 2016 - (Burbank, CA) - Warner Bros. Records artist Lukas Graham have earned Grammy nominations in three highly coveted categories: Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, all for album track "7 Years." The nominations round out a remarkable year for the Danish band, led by vocalist Lukas Forchhammer, who released their self-titled debut album earlier this year and since then have solidified their status as 2016's biggest breakout act. Their hit single "7 Years" is the highest-selling single by a debut artist this year, and the third highest-selling single of the year overall.

With over 2 billion worldwide streams this year alone, Lukas Graham propelled to the top of the charts with their quadruple-platinum debut single "7 Years," reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #9 on Spotify's Global Top Tracks of 2016, with over 600M Spotify streams to date. Lukas Graham's self-titled debut album is Certified Gold and has received overwhelming critical acclaim since its April 1 release, debuting at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 with accolades from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard and more. Second single "Mama Said" quickly followed in the footsteps of "7 Years," earning Gold certification with over 140M Spotify streams, and the band is continuing their ground-breaking year with new single "You're Not There," a touching tribute to Forchhammer's late father. They have performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America, The Billboard Music Awards, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Late Show with James Corden, CONAN, MTV Europe Music Awards, and the MTV Video Music Awards, where they were nominated for "Best New Artist."

Hailing from Christiania - an autonomous, artistic community in the center of Copenhagen, with no cars, streetlights or police, and few luxuries - Lukas Forchhammer developed his natural talent for honest and insightful songwriting. For the debut album, Lukas' storytelling is centered largely on remembering his late father, Eugene Graham, using his writing as a means to cope with that loss. Classically trained with the Copenhagen Boys' Choir, with a musical scope widened by his Irish folk roots and passion for hip-hop, Lukas possesses a distinct, poetic ability to capture the full range of emotions in his music. The band - rounded out by Lukas' longtime friends Mark Falgren (drums) and Magnus Larsson (bass) - are known for their dynamic, energetic live show, and will continue to headline sold out shows around the world for the remainder of the year and into 2017.
