Adam Lukas is an EMMY-winning composer for Film & TV, located in Los Angeles, where he is working at Hans Zimmer’s Bleeding Fingers Music- a next-generation composer collective. After receiving his Diploma in Composition in 2012, he found his sincere passion in composing music for motion picture. Recent credits include the BBC One 3-part documentary Primates, NatGeo’s Being The Queen (both awarded a News and Doc EMMY nomination in 2021, with Primates winning the category), Netflix' Roman Empire II, and FROZEN PLANET II (BBC) co-scored with Hans Zimmer and James Everingham. His music has been licensed and screened by many major TV stations such as BBC, National Geographic, FOX Network, NBC, Disney Channel, and many more.

As a Recording Engineer and Producer, Adam worked on projects featuring some of the world's most acclaimed musicians and actors such as Joshua Bell, Julian Rachlin, Mischa Maisky, Hyung-ki Joo and John Malkovich. Adam worked closely with Super-Star violinist Aleksey Igudesman, with whom he also produced film soundtracks. (Maria Theresia – Vermächtnis einer Herrscherin, ORF 2017)

Besides music for film, Adam has contributed soundtracks to theatrical plays such as „The Maids“ (Off-Theater 2016, produced by Sabrina Worsch) and furthermore works on his own music for Piano Solo, which is being published by Universal Edition.
