Jury President
Lucas Mayer
Founder & Global Music Director
DaHouse Audio

Lucas Mayer, founder and global creative director of DaHouse Audio, an international music and sound company with studios in Los Angeles, Berlin, São Paulo, and Tokyo.

Throughout his career, Lucas has worked on music for both emerging and iconic Brazilian artists, including Elza Soares, Ney Matogrosso, Rubel, Criolo, Jota.pê, and Liniker. His projects often blend music, culture, and storytelling, from The Uncensored Playlist, a censorship-defying musical project recognized in major festivals like Cannes and LIA, to Le Tour Du Monde, where he recorded music on the streets of cities around the world.

He's also composed for documentaries, advertising, and film, and continues to be hands-on in most DaHouse projects. In 2024, he received an Emmy for Dreamcaster and joined the Grammy jury. In 2025, DaHouse was named Music & Sound Company of the Year at The One Show and awarded a Black Pencil at D&AD.

Through it all, Lucas stays grounded in what brought him here: curiosity, collaboration, and a deep love for sound.
