His great-grandparents, Ronald "Ronnie" Lewbel and Phyllis Lewbel, also influenced his creative ambitions. Bearden has described them as encouraging him to pursue his creative interests.

== Music ==

=== Early music ===

Bearden began experimenting with music production in 2021. His earliest known song was "A Very Dark Blue Sky", a chill [[W:8-bit|8-bit]] composition created with [[W:BeepBox|BeepBox]]. The original project was created on a school laptop and was subsequently lost.

Although the song received little attention, Bearden continued producing music primarily for his own enjoyment. This marked the beginning of his ongoing interest in music production.

In 2022, he began posting music to [[W:Bandcamp|Bandcamp]] and experimenting with [[W:Online Sequencer|OnlineSequencer]]. He later used [[W:BandLab|BandLab]] during 2023 and 2024.

In 2024, Bearden began incorporating more rock-oriented material into his music. In 2025, he transitioned to [[W:REAPER|REAPER]] as his primary digital audio workstation.

By 2026, he was using REAPER for recording, arrangement, mixing, mastering, sound effects, and other aspects of music production.

=== Musical development and style ===

Bearden began learning guitar in 2021 through Guitars and Grooves in Hudson, Massachusetts, and later through the Rock Institute in Marlborough, Massachusetts. He subsequently began playing bass and incorporated it into his songwriting and band work.

He sings on his music and has described his vocal development as largely self-taught.

Bearden does not consistently work within a single genre. His primary styles include indie rock, alternative rock, and experimental music, while individual recordings may incorporate electronic, ambient, or other influences.

His cited musical influences include [[W:Radiohead|Radiohead]], [[W:Failure (band)|Failure]], Fons The Bun, WHSPRS, and Sharksbarksss. Radiohead is among his most significant influences, and its 1995 album ''[[W:The Bends|The Bends]]'' is one of Bearden's favorite albums.

He has also cited musicians associated with the furry music community as influences, particularly Fons The Bun and WHSPRS.

=== fifth forgotten ===

Bearden currently releases music under the name '''fifth forgotten'''. The project serves as his primary solo musical identity and allows him to work across a broad range of genres and production styles.

His work under the name incorporates alternative and indie rock alongside electronic and experimental production. Recordings frequently combine live instrumentation with synthesized sounds, MIDI sequencing, ambient textures, electronic sound design, and conventional rock instrumentation.

Bearden records, mixes, and masters much of his own material and uses REAPER as his primary production environment.

Rather than maintaining a fixed genre, Bearden has described experimentation and creative freedom as important aspects of the project.

== Biography ==

=== Early life ===

Lucas was born in [[W:Southington, Connecticut|Southington, Connecticut]], in 2010. During his childhood, he was exposed to mainstream [[W:pop music|pop music]] through radio and other media, including artists such as [[W:Coldplay|Coldplay]] and [[W:Twenty One Pilots|Twenty One Pilots]].

His father was a major influence on his later musical interests and introduced him to [[W:rock music|rock]] and [[W:indie music|indie music]]. His father would play instrumental versions of songs for him while he slept, including "Slow Motion" by [[W:Third Eye Blind|Third Eye Blind]], "Upward Over the Mountain" by [[W:Iron & Wine|Iron & Wine]], and "Be Still My Heart" by [[W:The Postal Service|The Postal Service]]. This contributed to Bearden's later interest in alternative and independent music.

Lucas moved to Hudson, Massachusetts, during the summer of 2019.

His great-grandparents, Ronald "Ronnie" Lewbel and Phyllis Lewbel, were significant influences on his creative ambitions. Bearden has described them as encouraging him to pursue his goals and creative interests.

=== Early music ===

Lucas began experimenting with music production in 2021. His earliest known song was "A Very Dark Blue Sky", a chill [[W:8-bit|8-bit]] composition created using [[W:BeepBox|BeepBox]]. The original project was created on a school laptop and was subsequently lost.

Although the song attracted little attention, Bearden continued producing music because he enjoyed creating it. This became the beginning of his continuing interest in music production.

In 2022, Lucas began posting music to [[W:Bandcamp|Bandcamp]] and experimenting with [[W:Online Sequencer|OnlineSequencer]]. He subsequently experimented with [[W:BandLab|BandLab]] during 2023 and 2024.

In 2024, Lucas began incorporating more rock-oriented material into his productions. In 2025, he transitioned to [[W:REAPER|REAPER]] as his primary digital audio workstation.

By 2026, Lucas was using REAPER for increasingly developed music production, including recording, mixing, mastering, sound effects, and arrangement.

=== Musical development ===

Lucas learned guitar beginning in 2021 through Guitars and Grooves in Hudson, Massachusetts, as well as the Rock Institute in Marlborough, Massachusetts. He later began playing bass and incorporated the instrument into his songwriting and band work.

Lucas sings on his music and describes his vocal development as largely self-taught.

His music does not consistently adhere to a single genre. Although his primary styles are indie rock, alternative rock, and experimental music, individual works may incorporate electronic, ambient, or other influences.

His musical influences include [[W:Radiohead|Radiohead]], [[W:Failure (band)|Failure]], Fons The Bun, WHSPRS, and Sharksbarksss. [[W:Radiohead|Radiohead]] is one of his most significant influences, with the band's 1995 album ''[[W:The Bends|The Bends]]'' being one of Bearden's favorite albums.

Lucas has also cited musicians associated with the furry music community as influences, particularly Fons The Bun and WHSPRS.

== Music ==

[[File:fifthforgottenguitar.png|right|thumb|225px|Bearden's guitar.]]

Lucas plays and records multiple instruments, including guitar and bass. His approach to music production combines live instrumental performances with digitally produced elements.

[[File:Fifthforgottenalbumcover2.jpg|right|thumb|225px|Concept album artwork designed by Bearden featuring his fursona Leo.]]

=== fifth forgotten ===

Lucas currently releases music under the name '''fifth forgotten'''. His work under the name is characterized by an intentionally broad musical palette, incorporating alternative and indie rock alongside electronic and experimental production.

He records, mixes, and masters much of his own material and uses REAPER as his primary production environment.

Lucas' work frequently combines live instruments with synthesized sounds, MIDI sequencing, ambient textures, electronic sound design, and conventional rock instrumentation.

Rather than maintaining a fixed genre, Bearden has described creative freedom and experimentation as important aspects of his musical identity.

[[File:Fifthforgottenalbumcover.jpg|right|thumb|225px|Concept album artwork featuring Leo.]]

=== BearSoup ===

Before adopting the name fifth forgotten, Bearden produced music under the alias '''BearSoup''', later stylized as '''BearSoup571'''.

The name was created with his father in 2020. Bearden began using the name for his music during the early 2020s.

BearSoup material was primarily electronic and digitally produced and was created during Bearden's early experimentation with music production. The project was active during approximately 2021–2023.

Much of the BearSoup material is now scattered across different websites and online accounts.

=== Machines Still Bleed ===

'''Machines Still Bleed''' was Bearden's first band. The group was formed in 2022, with Bearden serving as a vocalist, songwriter, and frontman.

The band incorporated Bearden's interest in alternative rock and experimental music and performed live at multiple venues and events throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The members of Machines Still Bleed have included:

* '''Lucas Bearden'''
* '''Hunter Locke'''
* '''Nikhil Rao'''
* '''Isaac Almeida'''

Former members include:

* '''Zachary Bellinger'''
* '''Karter Porzio'''

Machines Still Bleed entered a hiatus following interpersonal conflicts among members. The project later began moving toward reformation.

=== B-Sides ===

[[File:Studiotrackingbass.jpeg|right|thumb|225px|Bearden tracking bass in the studio with George Danahy during the production of B-Sides' first release.]]

'''B-Sides''' is a small rock band and musical project featuring Bearden as bassist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer.

The group has a sound influenced by [[W:Red Hot Chili Peppers|Red Hot Chili Peppers]] and [[W:The Strokes|The Strokes]]. Unlike some of Bearden's solo work, B-Sides focuses primarily on a band-oriented rock sound.

All members of B-Sides contribute to songwriting.

The known lineup consists of:

* '''Lucas Bearden''' — bass, vocals, songwriting, production
* '''Natalie''' — vocals, songwriting
* '''Jackson''' — guitar, songwriting
* '''Bennett Ludwig''' — guitar, songwriting
* '''Ariv''' — guitar, songwriting
* '''Adam''' — drums, songwriting

[[File:Inthestudio.jpeg|right|thumb|225px|Bennett Ludwig in the studio during the production of B-Sides' first release. The photograph was taken by Bearden on an older digital camera.]]

During the summer of 2026, the group worked on its first two-track release. The songs currently have the working titles "Summer Song" and "My Car"; neither title is necessarily final.

Lucas worked with musician and producer [[George Danahy]] during the recording and production of the project. Danahy, the frontman of the Lowell-based band ''The Ghouls'', worked with Bearden on recording, mixing, mastering, and production techniques at the Rock Institute.

Lucas has described B-Sides as a project of particular personal importance and pride.

== Filmmaking ==

Lucas began making films and videos in approximately 2020 after obtaining his first inexpensive camera. His earliest filmmaking consisted largely of informal horror films made with friends at Camp Resolute, a Boy Scout camp.

His filmmaking later developed into more deliberate narrative and experimental projects. Lucas has worked across directing, writing, cinematography, editing, sound, music, and acting.

Lucas currently uses a Canon EOS R50V borrowed from his school as one of his primary cameras. He also uses older digital cameras, including a Kodak camera.

His editing and visual-production software includes [[W:CapCut|CapCut]] Desktop and [[W:Blender (software)|Blender]]. He uses REAPER for music and sound effects.

Lucas has an interest in combining cinematography, editing, sound design, music, and narrative storytelling.

=== Psychological horror ===

Lucas is developing a psychological-horror film centered on a character experiencing [[W:borderline personality disorder|borderline personality disorder]] and hallucinations.

The project explores psychological distress and altered perception rather than relying exclusively on conventional horror elements. Lucas' interest in the subject developed alongside his study of abnormal psychology.

The film is intended as a narrative exploration of the character's experiences and is not presented as an autobiographical account.

== Digital art and character design ==

Lucas works in digital art and character design, particularly in connection with furry characters and online creative communities.

His artwork has included character designs, illustrations, album artwork, and visual material associated with his music and online identity.

He has also experimented with animation and is learning animation techniques using digital tools including Blender.

== Furry fandom ==

Lucas encountered furry-related media before formally identifying with the furry fandom. Around 2018, he discovered [[W:Warrior Cats|Warrior Cats]] [[W:Multi-Animator Project|multi-animator projects]] (M.A.P.s) online and became interested in the animation and character communities surrounding the series.

He was particularly interested in showing the videos to his parents and continued following online animation and character communities.

Lucas subsequently participated in furry communities through [[W:Roblox|Roblox]] furry groups, [[W:Discord|Discord]] communities, and other online platforms.

He became more actively involved in the furry fandom during the 2020s and has expressed interest in attending a furry convention.

=== Fursonas ===

Lucas' first known fursona was created in 2022. The character was a brown lynx wearing a beanie.

In 2024, Lucas created his current primary fursona, '''Leo''', an anthropomorphic snow leopard. Lucas retained the lynx's general role as a representation of himself but chose a snow leopard because he felt the species better suited his identity and character design.

=== Leo ===

[[File:Fifthforgottenleo.JPG|right|thumb|225px|Another depiction of Leo. Art by [[_porksodaa]].]]

Russelbuck is regarded by many within the furry music community as a pioneer of the modern furry music scene. Their work as a musician, DJ, and producer has helped shape the sound and culture of contemporary furry electronic music, particularly through their energetic and experimental approach to production and live performances.

Their music and style have influenced a newer generation of furry musicians and producers, including [[Sharksbarksss]], [[Pent Up Pup]], [[fifth forgotten]], [[Whsprs]] and many more. These artists have cited or drawn inspiration from the broader musical style and scene that Russelbuck helped establish, contributing to the continued growth and diversification of furry music.

Through their releases, DJ performances, and involvement in the furry fandom, Russelbuck has helped demonstrate that furry music can exist as its own distinct and evolving musical scene rather than simply as music made by members of the fandom.

Born in [[W:Southington, Connecticut|Southington, Connecticut]], Bearden moved to [[W:Hudson, Massachusetts|Hudson, Massachusetts]] in 2019.

His work combines live instrumentation with electronic production. He performs on guitar and bass and also sings, writes songs, and produces his own music. Since 2025, he has primarily used [[W:REAPER|REAPER]] for recording, mixing, mastering, sound effects, and music production.

Outside of music, Bearden works in filmmaking, directing, video editing, voice acting, digital art, animation, game development, programming, and streaming. His technical interests include [[W:Pygame|Pygame]], [[Roblox Studio]], [[Raspberry Pi]], [[Arduino]], and [[ESP32]] development.

Bearden is involved in the [[furry fandom]] and uses Leo, an anthropomorphic [[snow leopard]], as his primary [[fursona]].

== Biography ==

=== Early life ===

Bearden was born in [[W:Southington, Connecticut|Southington, Connecticut]], in 2010. During his childhood, he was exposed to mainstream [[W:pop music|pop music]] through radio and other media, including artists such as [[W:Coldplay|Coldplay]] and [[W:Twenty One Pilots|Twenty One Pilots]].

His father was a major influence on his later musical interests and introduced him to [[W:rock music|rock]] and [[W:indie music|indie music]]. His father would play instrumental versions of songs for him while he slept, including "Slow Motion" by [[W:Third Eye Blind|Third Eye Blind]], "Upward Over the Mountain" by [[W:Iron & Wine|Iron & Wine]], and "Be Still My Heart" by [[W:The Postal Service|The Postal Service]]. This contributed to Bearden's later interest in alternative and independent music.

Bearden moved to Hudson, Massachusetts, during the summer of 2019.

His great-grandparents, Ronald "Ronnie" Lewbel and Phyllis Lewbel, were significant influences on his creative ambitions. Bearden has described them as encouraging him to pursue his goals and creative interests.

=== Early music ===

Bearden began experimenting with music production in 2021. His earliest known song was "A Very Dark Blue Sky", a chill [[W:8-bit|8-bit]] composition created using [[W:BeepBox|BeepBox]]. The original project was created on a school laptop and was subsequently lost.

Although the song attracted little attention, Bearden continued producing music because he enjoyed creating it. This became the beginning of his continuing interest in music production.

In 2022, Bearden began posting music to [[W:Bandcamp|Bandcamp]] and experimenting with [[W:Online Sequencer|OnlineSequencer]]. He subsequently experimented with [[W:BandLab|BandLab]] during 2023 and 2024.

In 2024, Bearden began incorporating more rock-oriented material into his productions. In 2025, he transitioned to [[W:REAPER|REAPER]] as his primary digital audio workstation.

By 2026, Bearden was using REAPER for increasingly developed music production, including recording, mixing, mastering, sound effects, and arrangement.

=== Musical development ===

Bearden learned guitar beginning in 2021 through Guitars and Grooves in Hudson, Massachusetts, as well as the Rock Institute in Marlborough, Massachusetts. He later began playing bass and incorporated the instrument into his songwriting and band work.

Bearden sings on his music and describes his vocal development as largely self-taught.

His music does not consistently adhere to a single genre. Although his primary styles are indie rock, alternative rock, and experimental music, individual works may incorporate electronic, ambient, or other influences.

His musical influences include [[W:Radiohead|Radiohead]], [[W:Failure (band)|Failure]], Fons The Bun, WHSPRS, and Sharksbarksss. [[W:Radiohead|Radiohead]] is one of his most significant influences, with the band's 1995 album ''[[W:The Bends|The Bends]]'' being one of Bearden's favorite albums.

Bearden has also cited musicians associated with the furry music community as influences, particularly Fons The Bun and WHSPRS.

== Music ==

[[File:fifthforgottenguitar.png|right|thumb|225px|Bearden's guitar.]]

Bearden plays and records multiple instruments, including guitar and bass. His approach to music production combines live instrumental performances with digitally produced elements.

[[File:Fifthforgottenalbumcover2.jpg|right|thumb|225px|Concept album artwork designed by Bearden featuring his fursona Leo.]]

=== fifth forgotten ===

Bearden currently releases music under the name '''fifth forgotten'''. His work under the name is characterized by an intentionally broad musical palette, incorporating alternative and indie rock alongside electronic and experimental production.

He records, mixes, and masters much of his own material and uses REAPER as his primary production environment.

Bearden's work frequently combines live instruments with synthesized sounds, MIDI sequencing, ambient textures, electronic sound design, and conventional rock instrumentation.

Rather than maintaining a fixed genre, Bearden has described creative freedom and experimentation as important aspects of his musical identity.

[[File:Fifthforgottenalbumcover.jpg|right|thumb|225px|Concept album artwork featuring Leo.]]

=== BearSoup ===

Before adopting the name fifth forgotten, Bearden produced music under the alias '''BearSoup''', later stylized as '''BearSoup571'''.

The name was created with his father in 2020. Bearden began using the name for his music during the early 2020s.

BearSoup material was primarily electronic and digitally produced and was created during Bearden's early experimentation with music production. The project was active during approximately 2021–2023.

Much of the BearSoup material is now scattered across different websites and online accounts.

=== Machines Still Bleed ===

'''Machines Still Bleed''' was Bearden's first band. The group was formed in 2022, with Bearden serving as a vocalist, songwriter, and frontman.

The band incorporated Bearden's interest in alternative rock and experimental music and performed live at multiple venues and events throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The members of Machines Still Bleed have included:

* '''Lucas Bearden'''
* '''Hunter Locke'''
* '''Nikhil Rao'''
* '''Isaac Almeida'''

Former members include:

* '''Zachary Bellinger'''
* '''Kayla Porzio'''

Machines Still Bleed entered a hiatus following interpersonal conflicts among members. The project later began moving toward reformation.

=== B-Sides ===

[[File:Studiotrackingbass.jpeg|right|thumb|225px|Bearden tracking bass in the studio with George Danahy during the production of B-Sides' first release.]]

'''B-Sides''' is a small rock band and musical project featuring Bearden as bassist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer.

The group has a sound influenced by [[W:Red Hot Chili Peppers|Red Hot Chili Peppers]] and [[W:The Strokes|The Strokes]]. Unlike some of Bearden's solo work, B-Sides focuses primarily on a band-oriented rock sound.

All members of B-Sides contribute to songwriting.

The known lineup consists of:

* '''Lucas Bearden''' — bass, vocals, songwriting, production
* '''Natalie''' — vocals, songwriting
* '''Jackson''' — guitar, songwriting
* '''Bennett Ludwig''' — guitar, songwriting
* '''Ariv''' — guitar, songwriting
* '''Adam''' — drums, songwriting

[[File:Inthestudio.jpeg|right|thumb|225px|Bennett Ludwig in the studio during the production of B-Sides' first release. The photograph was taken by Bearden on an older digital camera.]]

During the summer of 2026, the group worked on its first two-track release. The songs currently have the working titles "Summer Song" and "My Car"; neither title is necessarily final.

Bearden worked with musician and producer [[George Danahy]] during the recording and production of the project. Danahy, the frontman of the Lowell-based band ''The Ghouls'', worked with Bearden on recording, mixing, mastering, and production techniques at the Rock Institute.

Bearden has described B-Sides as a project of particular personal importance and pride.

== Filmmaking ==

Bearden began making films and videos in approximately 2020 after obtaining his first inexpensive camera. His earliest filmmaking consisted largely of informal horror films made with friends at Camp Resolute, a Boy Scout camp.

His filmmaking later developed into more deliberate narrative and experimental projects. Bearden has worked across directing, writing, cinematography, editing, sound, music, and acting.

Bearden currently uses a Canon EOS R50V borrowed from his school as one of his primary cameras. He also uses older digital cameras, including a Kodak camera.

His editing and visual-production software includes [[W:CapCut|CapCut]] Desktop and [[W:Blender (software)|Blender]]. He uses REAPER for music and sound effects.

Bearden has an interest in combining cinematography, editing, sound design, music, and narrative storytelling.

=== Psychological horror ===

Bearden is developing a psychological-horror film centered on a character experiencing [[W:borderline personality disorder|borderline personality disorder]] and hallucinations.

The project explores psychological distress and altered perception rather than relying exclusively on conventional horror elements. Bearden's interest in the subject developed alongside his study of abnormal psychology.

The film is intended as a narrative exploration of the character's experiences and is not presented as an autobiographical account.

== Digital art and character design ==

Bearden works in digital art and character design, particularly in connection with furry characters and online creative communities.

His artwork has included character designs, illustrations, album artwork, and visual material associated with his music and online identity.

He has also experimented with animation and is learning animation techniques using digital tools including Blender.

== Furry fandom ==

Bearden encountered furry-related media before formally identifying with the furry fandom. Around 2018, he discovered [[W:Warrior Cats|Warrior Cats]] [[W:Multi-Animator Project|multi-animator projects]] (M.A.P.s) online and became interested in the animation and character communities surrounding the series.

He was particularly interested in showing the videos to his parents and continued following online animation and character communities.

Bearden subsequently participated in furry communities through [[W:Roblox|Roblox]] furry groups, [[W:Discord|Discord]] communities, and other online platforms.

He became more actively involved in the furry fandom during the 2020s and has expressed interest in attending a furry convention.

=== Fursonas ===

Bearden's first known fursona was created in 2022. The character was a brown lynx wearing a beanie.

In 2024, Bearden created his current primary fursona, '''Leo''', an anthropomorphic snow leopard. Bearden retained the lynx's general role as a representation of himself but chose a snow leopard because he felt the species better suited his identity and character design.

=== Leo ===

[[File:Fifthforgottenfursona-leo.jpg|right|thumb|225px|Bearden's fursona Leo. Art by [[_porksodaa]].]]

[[File:Fifthforgottenleo.JPG|right|thumb|225px|Another depiction of Leo. Art by [[_porksodaa]].]]

'''Leo''' is Bearden's primary [[fursona]] and is intended to represent Bearden himself.

Leo is an anthropomorphic [[snow leopard]] generally depicted as tall and slim. His design includes long, blue, wavy hair, black eyeliner, a red shirt, and a black collar with a bell. His clothing frequently incorporates [[W:grunge|grunge]] and alternative-fashion influences.

Different versions of Leo have used variations in hair color, including blue, maroon, and navy.

Leo generally uses he/him pronouns, with he/they also acceptable.

The character's name was taken from Bearden's late pet cat.

Leo has been depicted in artwork by multiple artists, including [[_porksodaa]].

== Other creative work ==

=== Voice acting ===

Bearden works as a voice actor in addition to his musical and filmmaking activities. His voice work has included character performance and audiovisual projects.

=== Streaming ===

Bearden is involved in online streaming and content creation. His streaming interests include gaming, music, creative projects, and other forms of online entertainment.

=== Game development ===

Bearden has experimented with [[W:game development|game development]] using platforms and tools including Roblox Studio and Pygame.

One of his Roblox projects was a mining game. He has also created a "rage room" system, allowing players to interact with destructible or breakable objects in a simulated room environment.

His game-development work has included programming gameplay systems, interactive environments, character systems, and other experimental mechanics.

=== Programming and electronics ===

Bearden has an interest in programming and electronics in addition to his artistic work.

His programming interests include [[W:Lua (programming language)|Lua]] and [[W:Python (programming language)|Python]], including the use of Pygame for small game projects.

These technical interests overlap with his creative work, particularly game development, interactive media, music, and audiovisual projects.

His instruments have included an [[W:Epiphone|Epiphone]] [[W:Les Paul|Les Paul]], a [[W:Fender Stratocaster|Fender Stratocaster]], a [[W:Fender Precision Bass|Fender Precision Bass]], acoustic guitars, piano, and cello.

One of his Fender Stratocasters has been customized with painted artwork, including a paw print and a [[W:Radiohead|Radiohead]] logo.
