In the crowded world of music creation, Lucas Hill emerges as a beacon of authenticity, blending sonic languages with finesse and sincerity. His journey from the New England Conservatory to the stacked streets of Bogotá has shaped his unique sound: a blend of jazz, bolero, and heartfelt lyricism.
Lorenzo Márquez, Founder of the Project:
“Music has been my compass since childhood. From the depths of jazz to the simplicity of a ballad, I’ve always found solace in melodies. After being more of a nerdy kind of musician and pursuing a career as a jazz composer in Boston, I returned to Colombia seeking a new path rooted in storytelling through songwriting.
“Defining my sound is a journey in itself. It’s a balance between electronic ambiance and the raw intimacy of a singer-songwriter. Each song is a narrative, weaving tales of love, life, and longing.
“I have two albums under the Lucas Hill pseudonym, plus another one that’s on the way. The first record was produced in 2020 alongside Pipe Bravo and Pedro Rovetto from Superlitio. The new one was done with Felipe Álvarez at Polen Records. Each track is a reflection of my evolution. From the depths of introspection to the heights of musical exploration, I’m on a constant attempt to push boundaries.
“As I gear up for the festival, my focus is bringing the essence of live performance to the stage. The show at FEP will be in the company of a seasoned trio. So basically it’ll be a jazz-style quartet with which we look forward to propell a captivating performance, create awareness for the project and engage new audiences.”
