About
Lukas Mohl (2000) is a pianist and composer, active in both Germany and the Netherlands, whose music has been described by friends and listeners as close to the heart and evocative, capturing the essence of genuine emotion and personal expression.
Having grown up in a rural village in southern Germany, he has been irrevocably shaped with the qualities of small-town life and a desire to blend the rush and excitement of the city with the laid-back pace of living unique to country life.
Leaving to study music in the Netherlands in 2020 has been a musical and cultural explosion, exposing him to countless new influences, experiences, colleagues, and dearly beloved friends.
Embracing this opportunity has vastly expanded his horizons, inspiring him to delve into composition as a means of articulating his emotions and outlook on the world through artistic expression.
Lukas’ desire is not only to create, but also to share his musical endeavors with others.
“These songs are my way of coping with the world. If you can find even an ounce of relatability within them, then they have served their purpose. That’s all they are meant for.”
For Lukas, the process of composing is deeply intertwined with significant self-reflection. True authenticity and honesty become attainable only when there is a deep understanding of the self.
Engaging in this endeavor can be quite confronting and at times genuinely excruciating, as the composer must willingly embrace vulnerability to express the true depth of their feelings. To Lukas this journey involves confronting his own insecurities and questioning his perception of both himself and the world at large.
It is marked by a battle with depression and the search for a fulfilling life – a life worth living.
