Eric Lu was born in Massachusetts to immigrant parents from Kaohsiung, Taiwan and Shanghai, China.[4] He started piano studies at the age of six with Dorothy Shi (杨镜钏), near Boston, MA. Later on, he enrolled at the New England Conservatory Preparatory School, where he studied piano with Alexander Korsantia and A. Ramon Rivera. In 2013, he was admitted into the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where he currently studies with Jonathan Biss and Robert McDonald. He is also a pupil of the pianist Dang Thai Son.

In October 2015, he had a distinguished participation at the XVII International Chopin Piano Competition, winning the 4th prize at the age of 17, becoming one of the youngest laureates in the history of the competition.
