Lucas Ranieri
Co-Founder
Lucas (he/him/his) is a queer composer, musician, and co-founder of Out to Lunch Records. Based in Northampton, MA, he is also an artist on the label. Enamored by all things strange, provocative, and anti-establishment, Lucas remains unwilling to comply with a classical training and career path, which has found him delving further into the cobwebby recesses of all creative things dubbed “out to lunch”. Lucas hopes to bring the spirit of 70s artistic psychedelia, DIY punk and limitless expression both as the co-founder and as an artist through sounds, visuals, creative web content and live events. Lucas holds a B.M. in music composition from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee (2018).
