Their music combines elements of soul, funk, hiphop and pop. Forchhammer describes the genre as "ghetto pop", because it pulls together so many genres.

The band's soulful and funky sound quickly spread in the Copenhagen underground and through online postings, which led Copenhagen Records to sign them. Lukas Graham achieved commercial success in October 2011 with the release of its debut single. Its first Danish tour sold over 30,000 concert tickets, even though its album had not been released yet.
