Music production became his next step, while learning basic piano extended his musical growth. With an undergraduate degree in political science and a master’s degree in finance, he’s worked in his industry, while turning his passion for music into Lucas Coast. He took the name “Lucas” by combining his name “Luis Carlos Suarez”, and chose “Coast” as tribute to his musical identity forged by the Colombian and Miami coasts.

Seduction in “Conmigo” is the protagonist, its lyrics recreate the situations of a forbidden and toxic love. The song invites you to leave this type of relationship that damages love, the seduction ingredient in the lyrics makes this theme much deeper and reflects maturity. It also encourages reflection in those who identify or feel something for someone in a relationship that can be harmful. The musical production of the theme was in charge of the producer Forza on Instagram, he is found as BeatsByForza, who was also in charge of the voice engineering, mixing and mastering. Forza was the producer of two previous Lucas releases “One More Night” & “Dame Tu Love.”

He created his independent label, “The Coast Records L.L.C.”, through which he has funded and managed his music project.

One of the anecdotes creating and making the video for «Conmigo» was during the general production of this song, it took them about two weeks, but as time went by, they added new ideas and polished it appropriately. In the video recording, they had to fight against the weather, against the Medellín peak and plate, and other factors that got out of hand. Anyway, each member of the team injected him with the best energy, and they managed to bring out this great production in a quite different environment than what urban music has accustomed us. The setting of the video, and the electronic elements of the song come together in a masterful way.
