Redefining Boston’s R&B and Alternative Sound

Boston’s music scene is known for its diversity, and l.ucas is a prime example of an artist who refuses to be boxed in. Hailing from Leominster, Massachusetts, Lucas DeLisle, professionally known as l.ucas (pronounced loo-kuhs), has carved out a unique lane for himself, blending elements of R&B, electronic, and alternative music into a sound that is as experimental as it is emotionally raw. A songwriter, producer, engineer, and performer, l.ucas does it all, crafting sonic landscapes that reflect themes of love, mental health, and self-discovery.

His 2022 project, How Am I Supposed to Feel?, is a genre-blurring journey through early 2000s house beats fused with smooth, introspective R&B vocals. Accompanied by a self-funded tour, exclusive merchandise, and a short film, the project cemented his status as a visionary artist. The Boston Music Awards took notice, nominating him for Best R&B Artist in 2022 and 2023, a testament to his rising influence. Collaborating with talents like layzi, Miranda Rae, OSÁ, Timi O, and Neemz, l.ucas has proven his versatility while still maintaining a signature sound that is soulful, moody, and boundary-pushing.

Beyond the studio, l.ucas brings his artistry to life on stage, delivering sold-out performances at venues like Exit Galleries, NewStudio Brooklyn, and The Rockwell. His ability to seamlessly blend melancholy and groove, nostalgia and innovation makes him one of Boston’s most exciting rising talents. As he continues to challenge genre norms and push his sound forward, l.ucas is not just making music—he’s creating immersive experiences that connect on a deeper level. Keep an eye on this one—Boston’s next breakthrough artist is already here.
