[edit] Biography
Hilbert founded a musical band called The Future with his brother, Kieran, and the drummer, Maik Buchwald, when he was twelve years' old. Together with the saxophonist, Frank Bannöhr, they toured Germany under the management of Hilbert's father, Erwin Hilbert, until Udo Lindenberg took the brothers into his Panikorchester and gave Erwin an administrative job. At the same time, Lukas and Kieran Hilbert founded the rock band Hauden & Lukas, and Lukas began writing songs with Lindenberg. He worked on the 1991 Lindenberg album Ich will Dich haben, which won a golden disc, before releasing two solo albums, which were less successful.
He achieved his first notable success as a lyricist when the single Du mußt ein Schwein sein performed by Die Prinzen reached the top ten in Germany in 1995. In 1996, he wrote the lyrics of Boomerang, which was sung by Blümchen.
In 1996, he founded a band Roh in Hamburg with Carsten Pape and Meik Dobbratz. Following an album in 1996 and another in 1998, the band released a more successful album Rohmantisch in 2000. Following a tour with Peter Maffay, the band split.
After writing some further songs, in 2003, he produced the Oli.P singles Neugeboren and Alles ändert sich, on which he also sang. Also in 2003, he wrote the lyrics for the Dieter Bohlen production of Für Dich sung by Yvonne Catterfeld, which reached number one in the German singles charts.
In December 2004, the single Was ich an Dir mag, on which Hilbert performed as a solo singer, reached number three in the German singles charts. He appeared as a member of the jury in the Popstars series on ProSieben, and produced the debut single Sweetest Poison of the band Nu Pagadi, which was formed from that series. The single reached number one in the German singles charts. He wrote lyrics for and produced the album Laut und Leise by Peter Maffay.
On 10 January 2005, Hilbert released a solo album with the title Der König bin ich. He competed for Bremen in the Bundesvision Song Contest with his single Kommt meine Liebe nicht bei dir an and was placed eleventh.
At the end of 2006, he wrote the song Erinner mich Dich zu vergessen, which reached the top 10 in Germany sung by Yvonne Catterfeld. On 3 November 2006, he released the single Ganze Welt on which he sung with Katerina Loules, also known as Tryna, who had been a candidate on Popstars. In December 2006, he sang In Dir ist immer noch ein Licht, which he had composed and wrote the lyrics of, with Peter Maffay, Udo Jürgens, José Carreras und Piero Masuchett as the opening song to José Carreras Gala 2006.
In 2008, Hilbert wrote the title track of Peter Maffay's album Ewig.
