Jessica: Hi Sunny! We just wanted to start with - thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions for us! For the people who aren’t familiar with you, could you please give us a short introduction for our readers?

Sunny Lukas: Yeah, for sure. I’m Sunny Lukas — I make pop music with a lot of R&B and hip-hop influence. I’m super multicultural and grew up moving between places like Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai, Dubai, and London, so that really shaped how I see the world. I love mixing different languages, cultures, and sounds in my music — it feels natural to me. I’m also really into fashion and building a whole lifestyle and visual world around my music, not just releasing songs. Everything I do is part of one bigger creative universe.

Jessica: Wow! So many different cultures and a creative universe! We'd love to know, where do you usually find your inspiration during the writing process?

Sunny Lukas: Honestly, social media is a huge one for me. I’m scrolling every day and constantly picking up inspiration — whether it’s visuals, captions, moods, or just how people express themselves online. At the same time, real life always plays a big part too — experiences, relationships, traveling, random conversations. It’s really a mix of the digital world and real moments that end up shaping my music.

Jessica: From experience, most creatives experience a writers/inspiration block, what do you do to solve that?

Sunny Lukas: I used to stress about it a lot, but now I’ve learned to step away. If I’m blocked, it usually means I’m trying too hard. I’ll go live life a bit — travel, work out, watch films, listen to music I wouldn’t normally listen to. Inspiration always comes back when you stop chasing it.

Jessica: You recently released your newest song “MBTI”. Can you tell us about your process creating this specific song?

Sunny Lukas: “MBTI” started as a fun idea but slowly became something deeper. I was really into personality types at the time, but more in a playful way — how everyone moves differently, loves differently, reacts differently. I wanted the song to feel confident, bouncy, very Y2K, but still relatable. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still says something about identity and self-expression.

Jessica: How would you describe the message you’d like to spread to the world with your music?

Sunny Lukas: I truly believe music has the power to bring people together and heal in ways nothing else can. It connects us, no matter where we’re from or what we’re going through. I once received a message from a fan who told me my song “Everyone Is Beautiful” made her smile during her cancer treatment while she was going through chemotherapy. That moment honestly changed my life. It reminded me why I make music in the first place. If my songs can bring even a little comfort, strength, or light to someone during a hard time, then everything I do is worth it.

Jessica: We’d definitely agree with that, music is magic. What would your dream venue to perform at? (Long term or short term)

Sunny Lukas: Long term, my dream is to headline my own concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum. That would mean everything to me. Short term, I’d love to perform at a major music festival like Coachella — the energy, the crowd, the culture around it is something I really want to experience.

Jessica: Who is your biggest inspiration in the music industry?

Sunny Lukas: My biggest inspiration is Jackson Wang. We grew up in the same place and both come from an athletic background, so I’ve always felt a strong connection to his journey. I really admire how he blends music, fashion, and identity so confidently. His style, his mindset, and how he built his own lane are all super inspiring to me.

Jessica: Do you have any plans for a tour in Europe in the future you can tell us about?

Sunny Lukas: Yes, for sure — especially this year. I’m really hoping to do my own solo tour. I have a lot of fans in Europe, especially in France, Germany, and Italy, so it’s definitely at the top of my list. I really want to connect with everyone there in person.

Jessica: And our final question, it is our trademark so I have to ask — what kind of advice would you like to give to the new generation of upcoming creatives/artists?

Sunny Lukas: Don’t rush the process and don’t compare your timeline to anyone else’s. Build something that actually feels like you, not what you think people want. Trends come and go, but authenticity lasts. And most importantly — enjoy the journey, even the messy parts. That’s where the real growth happens.
