Lucas discusses challenges he faced in transitioning in both his music and his gender, shares his CD "Black Tie Elevator", check out this transformative conversation.
Lucas made history when he became the first out transgendered man to be signed to a major record label and he continues to be one of the most visible transgender persons in the music industry. The Cliks were founded in Toronto, Canada in 2004 by Lucas. They have toured extensively alongside acts such as Cyndi Lauper, The Cult, the New York Dolls, Debbie Harry and The Dresden Dolls, and appeared on National Television shows Late Night with Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Kimmel Live and MTV’s TRL. The Cliks first two major-label releases, Snake House (2006-Warner Music Canada/Tommy Boy) and Dirty King (2009-Warner Music Canada/Tommy Boy) brought the band international recognition. The new album Black Tie Elevator released May 2013 through Bandwidth/ Universal Music Canada is a step in a new direction. The music shows growth in Silveira’s songwriting and stylistically veers to what he calls “soul rock”.
