During his early days, Shared revealed that Lukas wanted to learn how to play the guitar for him to have a closer relationship with his father since he was always away on tours.

“When I was young, you were gone a lot, and I figured the one thing that would be able to bring us together was if I learned how to play real well, and then we could go out on the road together, and I could be around you more,” said Lukas.

Soon enough, Lukas proved that he had inherited his father’s talents and had perfected his skills. He finally joined his father’s band called Family Band. At the same time, he was also working on his music.
