Lars Ulrich is a world-renowned Danish drummer and songwriter. His father took him to a rock concert in 1973, which inspired Lars to develop a professional career in music. He received a drum set from his grandmother in 1976, sparking his interest in starting a band. By the 80s, his family moved to California, where he met James Hetfield, Metallica's future guitarist, after searching ads in the paper for musicians.

After moving to California, he met the band’s future guitarist, James Hetfield. The group Metallica formed shortly thereafter and signed a music contract with an independent label. By 1983, the band began cranking out hit records and became a global success. Lars launched his own record label in 1998, called The Music Company. By 2009, Ulrich was the first Danish musician inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
