Lucca Linke

The Cologne-based freelance musician and artist Lucca Linke has been working since 2012 on various band projects in the fields of a cappella, pop, folk, and indie pop as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist (also keys, electric bass, and ukulele), and has released two studio albums, several live sessions, and a studio EP (“spheres” by iluma) to date.

Having always been deeply passionate about polyphonic singing, she completed a three-year training program in 2017 to become a professional singer, choir and ensemble director, with an additional pedagogical qualification in rock/pop/jazz at the Music College Regensburg. Since then, she has also been working as a freelance vocal coach and choir conductor.

As a scholarship holder of the Bauhaus Residency 2024, she had the opportunity to spend four weeks living in the Muche-Schlemmer Master House in Dessau, with the sole aim of writing new music for her solo project luccalinn. She presented the results of this creative period together with fellow scholarship recipient listentojules in a joint concert as part of the Kurt Weill Festival.

As a co-founder of the interdisciplinary exhibition collective BOB8 (since 2023), she is increasingly living out her passion for connecting different art forms. Together, the group has so far conceived and realized two interactive exhibitions in Cologne, which she helped shape with sound-based and visual artistic works. From this perspective, the step toward theater feels more than natural.

In her art and music, she primarily engages with themes of vulnerability, human connection, social justice, and unbearable simultaneities.
