LckyTUBA

By day, he's a degreed meteorologist starting work on his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science. But when he opens his music software, Elliott Fosler-Lussier brings his alter ego, LckyTUBA to life.

Born in 2002 and having been raised in a musical household in Columbus, Ohio, Fosler-Lussier began producing music in 2018 during his junior year of high school, with his first upload coming to YouTube the following year as the electronic rock song Starlight. Fosler-Lussier developed his sound and craft over the following three years, culminating in his first official release, <a href="spotify:album:1n28oo7rCKtfjvxUtUWmr4" data-name="Supercell EP">Supercell EP</a>, dropping in early 2022. The final track, What We Left Behind, had already become a staple of the hurricane animation community from 2020 onwards. Fosler-Lussier&#39;s first full album came in early 2024 in the form of <a href="spotify:album:6cFFaSgPdwqb5JtcxiJX7i" data-name="A Researcher&#39;s Dreams">A Researcher&#39;s Dreams</a>, with the title track among others produced during the time in which Fosler-Lussier had been applying for graduate school. The following summer, he released his sophomore album, <a href="spotify:album:32zHATIHHSuEqBOZKOUuKj" data-name="To The Stars">To The Stars</a>, in which he built on his previous video game and DnB influences by incorporating hardcore, metal, chiptune and trance elements. While becoming a scientist is never an easy journey, Fosler-Lussier still finds respite in the worlds that he creates through his music.
