Lukas is the second youngest of Willie’s children. He has made a name for himself in the music industry as the frontman of Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real.
The group has served as Neil Young’s backing band since 2015. They rose to a new level of fame due to their involvement in the 2018 remake of A Star is Born. Lukas co-produced the movie’s music and wrote songs with its lead actress, Lady Gaga. In addition, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real acted as the backing band for Bradley Cooper’s character, Jackson Maine.
Lukas’ work on A Star is Born led him to two award wins. He won the BAFTA Award for Best Original Music and the Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.
Lukas and Promise of the Real have remained busy over the years. They’ve released several more albums since A Star is Born came out, including 2021’s A Few Stars Apart.
