His artistic journey has also been shaped by encounters and collaborations with musicians connected to the world of the Gipsy Kings, as well as performances at prestigious events. In Monaco, he had the opportunity to perform at the Prince of Monaco’s birthday celebration.

Alongside his work as a composer and performer, Lucas Fontana has built a significant social media presence. He now has nearly two million followers across his various platforms, with several million views each month. This international audience allows him to share his passion for the guitar and introduce a new generation of listeners to his musical world.

With a particular commitment to the quality of his instruments and the pursuit of sound, he is an official partner of Felipe Conde Cavia, a renowned Spanish guitar-making workshop known for its expertise in crafting classical and flamenco guitars.

Also a partner artist of Savarez, a historic French string manufacturer, Lucas Fontana continues to develop his artistic career, placing particular importance on precision, expressiveness and sound quality.
