sunflwr produces dreamlike house music for the dance floor, living room or late night drive.
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Lucas Hanson grew up playing bass and piano. He began exploring electronic music in his late teenage years with influences from artists like the Gorillaz, Little Dragon & Bonobo, appreciating the blend between the avant-garde, an indie aesthetic and pop. Hanson studied music in New York, falling in love with the house music scene there. He began to DJ and produce with a new focus on uptempo songs.
After graduation and moving to Los Angeles in 2017, the artist took a hiatus from consistent musical output, getting lost in a new career in tech and adjusting to new changes in life. Striking up a new connection to his artwork and a daily commitment to produce, Hanson rediscovered his love of music and personal expression through it. The music started pouring out in high output as ‘sunflwr’ in 2020.
He has since released eight EPs and over 80 tracks and remixes, quickly becoming one of the rising new LA based artists in the global electronic music community with his signature bright, emotive, deep, sun-kissed sound with over 150 million streams to date. 2024 was a breakout year with sunflwr playing over 50 live shows across North & South America, Europe and the African continent selling out headline shows in major markets such as London, New York, Amsterdam, Mexico City, São Paulo, Medellin, Paris, Toronto and more.
His debut LP, heard it in a dream, on Unbelievably Spectacular (dj poolboi, Shaolin Cowboy) has already had over 5000 pre-saves and there will be a very intimate sold out release party at ‘El Cid’ in Silverlake LA with DJ Houseplants, Target Demographic and the albums featured singers Ella Rosa and Keilimei
