“The Bad Boy of Dance”
Lucas was born in Queens, New York, and pursued the stage performing in several live and televised events for MTV, Coca Cola, McDonalds, JC Penny and L.A. Gear during his youth. It was inevitable early on that Lucas Prata was destined for stardom. Lucas’s transition to his true passion – music – has since taken him to stardom. Nicknamed “The Bad Boy of Dance” by the industry, Lucas Prata’s full-length album “Let’s Get It On” was officially released March 7, 2006.

Ever since the 2002 release of singer/songwriter Lucas Prata’s first single “Let’s Get It On,” (Universal Records) established him on Rhythm/Top 40 radio, Lucas’ rapid evolution in music has been astonishing. In 2004, he signed to Ultra Records with “Never Be Alone” which became a dance floor and wedding anthem for couples around the world. While touring America in support of his “Never Be Alone” single, Lucas contributed his songwriting talents to other successful groups including the Moffits and B-3. Soon the phones were ringing nonstop with calls from various artists and producers worldwide seeking an original Lucas-penned song.

Lucas Prata’s 2005 duet with Dan Balan of O-Zone “Ma Ya Hi - Dragostea din Tei” (The Numa Numa Song) has kept the Ultra Records “Franchise Artist & Bad Boy of Dance” quite busy. “Ma Ya Hi” has been #1 in over 27 countries and has sold over 10 million singles worldwide in various languages. The newly re-recorded version of “Ma Ya Hi” can be seen and heard on Television & Films including: NBC - The Today Show, CNN Best of the Web 2005, ABC - Good Morning America, Chicken Little and Deuce Bigalo European Gigolo.

“The fourth single “And She Said…(Y Dices) is different from the past three I have put out. This song shows a growth in my writing and a focus on Rhythm/Pop/Top 40 radio as well as Hurban & Latin/Tropical stations.” says Prata. The Pop single features various club friendly remixes as well as Spanish, Spanglish and a Reggaeton version featuring Universal Record’s princess of Reggaeton “Adassa”. MTV took “And She Said…” to another level by selecting Lucas Prata to appear on their series “My Super Sweet 16”. Loyal Prata fans from around the globe have flooded the www.lucasprata.com website as well as his myspace web address to request Lucas at their upcoming parties. “And She Said…” continues to snowball as It was danced to by the competitor; Snow on the hit Fox television show “So You Think You Can Dance”. In August 2006, the song was re-written and is now “And We Say… Let’s Go Mets” the official team song for the New York Mets.
