JP Bobbaers — Always early. Never finished. Communities, apps and real products in Varna and Ubud.

Founder, IMAGINIF · Omni-Architect · Community & App Builder.
I bring people together around what comes next—and turn ideas into communities, products and experiences between Varna and Ubud.

A new creative chapter · Created by JP Bobbaers

Lucan Velaro.
Music. Stories.
A little Bali.

A character with a voice, a world of stories and a conversation you can step into.

I created Lucan to explore what happens when music, storytelling and AI come together. A singer-songwriter, tenor saxophonist and traveller at heart, he sings about places, people and the small moments that turn somewhere unfamiliar into home.

Between Europe and Bali, his world keeps growing: original songs, music films and now a Bali-focused guide you can talk to.

Lucan is a fictional AI artist created by JP Bobbaers for IMAGINIF LTD.

Where the story begins

Under Different Moons.

Lucan’s debut introduces a different rhythm between Varna and Ubud. His standalone Mythical Figures of Bali song connects the music with my silver collection and the island’s craft.

What I’m building now

Explore AI.
Meet people.

In Varna and Ubud, I bring curious people together to explore artificial intelligence, share what they are making and learn through real conversations. Beginners and builders are welcome.

Founder, IMAGINIF · Omni-Architect · Community & App Builder.

Brussels gave me my start. Varna gives me space to build communities and new ideas. Ubud keeps opening different perspectives.

IMAGINIF is the name that connects everything I make, explore and bring into the real world.
