He was the first solo artist in Maltese music history to achieve successful foreign pop chart placements in a number of non-native countries and to obtain a major global record company deal.

[1] In 1993, Lukas, accompanied by Marita, placed second in that year's Malta Song Festival with his own composition “Żommni u Għannaqni”.

[citation needed] In the summer of 2008, Marc Storace of Krokus paid tribute to Lukas' 'Can't Afford to Lose'.

During his concert, on the island of Gozo, Lukas surprised the audience as he emerged to sing the last half of the song in duet with Storace.
