Born and raised in Austria, Boogie-Woogie pianist Lukas Koeninger discovered his passion for music at the age of 17 when he accidently came across records of Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles and Amos Milburn. Without any musical background, he taught himself piano by listening to the old records.


With his move to southern France in 2015 he decided to build his own traveling Boogie-Piano which at first opened up the way to a career as a street performer and later on led to bookings at renowned festivals and in Jazz clubs.


In 2024, he published his first book, which tells of his unusual life. It is titled: 'The Traveling Piano Man!'.

Lukas Koeninger's journeys as 'The Traveling Piano Man' also took him to America, where he performed multiple times following personal invitations from Judith Lewis, widow of the late Rock'n'Roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis. He is one of only a few so-called 'Killer Godsons' and is allowed to call himself a 'Jerry Lee Lewis Endorsed Artist and Prodigy'!
