Career
Rego began his music career as a teenager, when he chose music over college for a year. He credits the Miami club scene for his drive to publish.{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/10-new-artists-you-need-to-know-january-2016-19447/ |title=10 New Artists You Need to Know: January 2016 |date=2016-01-25 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US |access-date=2019-02-10|quote=As a teen, he convinced his parents to let him postpone college for a year to focus solely on music...Lookas credits Miami's sketchy all-ages party circuit for pushing him into producing his own material. "There was [one club] where they would throw events and I would go there and get ripped off by the promoters. I would go there and DJ for like 1,000 kids and not get paid," he says. "So I told myself I would stop playing these gigs and getting ripped off, and spending some time writing music."}}
In an interview with EDM Sauce, Rego described the music scene as "trying to figure out what the next big thing is", and shares his production experience as a motivation for improvement.{{Cite web |url=https://www.edmsauce.com/2017/10/05/exclusive-interview-lookas/ |title=Exclusive Interview - Lookas |last=Frantellizzi |first=Stefano |date=2017-10-05 |website=EDM Sauce |language=en-US |access-date=2019-02-08}}
