He stands out as one of the prominent voices of urban pagode, a genre that blends elements of samba, rap, R&B, and pop. His musical journey began with the release of the EP "100 Neurose" in 2019, followed by "Melhor Forma Vol. 1" in 2021, which featured collaborations with artists like Kiaz and Ana K. In 2022, he released his first studio album, "Confissões de um Tralha Romântico", featuring collaborations with artists such as Rebecca and Thiago Pantaleão.

Lukinhas gained notoriety for his partnerships with major names in Brazilian music, including Ludmilla, IZA, Gloria Groove, and Emicida. He is known for hits like "Pipa Voada" (with Emicida and Rashid) and "Aperta Start" (with Delacruz). His music frequently addresses themes of representation, anti-racism, and social equality, reflecting his origins and life experiences. In 2024, Lukinhas performed on the Espaço Favela stage at Rock in Rio, replacing singer Lourena, bringing the essence of urban pagode to one of the biggest music festivals in the world. He also released his album "Pagode Urbano #01" that same year. His musical versatility allows him to move between different genres, affirming his artistic identity without being tied to labels.
