[edit] History
Signed to Uptown Records by Andre Harrell, Lucas debuted in 1990 with the album To Rap My World Around You. In 1993 he signed with Atlantic Records and released his 1994 album Lucacentric, a much more jazz-influenced work than his previous effort. Lucacentric went Top 10 in at least 10 countries and was Top 30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The music video for his single "Lucas With The Lid Off", directed by Michel Gondry, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Music Video, Short Form[1] and a MTV Video Music Award nomination for Best Male Video[2] in 1995. The video features a very distinctive and memorable style, being shot in one take among a variety of different sets. It was voted #4 best video of all time by MTV US.[citation needed] Lucas won Spin Magazine's Golden Poets Award for his poem "The Ice Age" (out of 150,000 entrants), which became a song on To Rap My World Around You.
[edit] Family
Lucas' father, Paul Secon, is perhaps best known as the co-founder of Pottery Barn along with Paul's brother Morris Secon. He also worked as a songwriter for Nat King Cole, The Ink Spots, and The Mills Brothers and many more. His mother, Danish artist Berta Moltke, was the head of the Danish Academy of Arts for several years and has exhibited around the globe for the last 35 years. Lucas' son, Fabian, debuted as an MC at age 3 on the Lucas-produced record "Fabian's First Beat" (Atlantic Records UK, 2002).[citation needed] Fabian made his professional acting debut in July 2007, taking the lead in a summer musical called "The House Fairy" at The Magic Eye Theatre, London.
