Who is Tius Luka, the Boy Who Sang 'Wonder' with Katy Perry at the World Cup Opening?

The opening ceremony of the 2026 World Cup featured a standout moment when 10-year-old Norwegian singer Tius Luka joined Katy Perry on stage to perform her song "Wonder." The performance, held at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles before the match between the United States and Paraguay, quickly went viral, sparking widespread curiosity about the young artist.

Luka, who was born in Norway, began building his musical profile through social media, sharing covers of popular songs. He has garnered over 30,000 streams on Spotify for his debut single "Himmel på jord" (Heaven on Earth). Notably, he is the son of Kent Sundberg, a member of the popular Norwegian band Donkeyboy.

Interestingly, it was one of Luka's own performances that caught Katy Perry's attention and inspired her to write "Wonder." This connection led Perry to invite him to collaborate on the song, culminating in their joint performance at the prestigious World Cup event. Perry had teased the collaboration earlier, sharing a video of their rehearsal on social media and encouraging fans to tune in.

Following the performance, Luka received an outpouring of praise from viewers worldwide. Comments on social media highlighted his "charming and moving voice" and commended his "incredible" performance alongside Perry, with many anticipating a bright future for the young talent.
