Lucas Vidal (born 1984) is a Spanish composer who became the youngest Berklee College of Music student ever to compose and record the score to a feature film with a full orchestra and best known for scores such as Fast & Furious 6.

Biography

He lives in Los Angeles and splits his time between his self-made Music and Motion Productions Studios in Venice, California, and Madrid, Spain. In an interview he said: “Hollywood has zero glamour for me,” he says. “You work a lot. I get up very early, I go to the studio, I eat in front of the computer, I carry on working and then go to sleep. Only on Tuesdays do I let myself play ping-pong at a club.” At the age of 20, Vidal was diagnosed with cancer. During his chemotherapy treatment, which he underwent in Madrid, he could only think about two things: eating snails and composing film music and finally overcame cancer after three months of chemotherapy.

In an interview with Benoit Basirico he said that he had relationships with other Spanish composers: "I have a really good relationship with all the spanish composers. We are a very small community. I am a close friend of Javier Navarrete and was so sad when he moved back to Spain last year. I am so happy he is doing so well though. I love Alberto Iglesias, who I consider a genius. He is also the nicest and most humble person I know." and talked about other composers "I am a big fan of Alexandre Desplat, I think his music is simply amazing and his range of scores is surreal. He is a true composer before being a film composer. I like Alan Silvestri a lot too. I conducted at the Boston Symphony Hall with him couple of months ago, and I must say that he is a wonderful person."
