Lars Ulrich is an American-Danish musician and one of the founding members of the famous heavy metal band ‘Metallica’. Although Ulrich belonged to a well-bred family of sports players and his father was a professional tennis player, he chose the life of a musician even though he was encouraged by his father to take up tennis seriously since he was a young boy. His love for metal music and drumming formed for the first time at the age of 10 when his father took him to his first concert to watch the live performance of ‘Deep Purple’. Ulrich was so moved by the music that he got his first drum set shortly afterward and started pursuing music. It was when he moved to Los Angeles with his family that he was able to jam with other heavy metal musicians, in the course of which he met James Hetfield and formed the world-famous heavy metal band ‘Metallica’. He has since been playing drums for the band and manages his own record label ‘Music Company’ side by side. Ulrich is the first Danish musician ever to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
