Lucia got her start recording in studios in New York, eventually forming her own band, Drill, along with future Black Label Society guitarist John DeServio, which released only one album, the self-titled Drill, which spawned two music videos and had a third song featured on Empire Records. Later that year Drill toured opening for Stabbing Westward's Wither, Blister, Burn, and Peel Tour. The band broke up shortly after the end of the tour.
Lucia would join the KMFDM hiatus band, MDFMK, in 2000. The project lasted for one self-titled album. In 2001, Lucia and Sascha Konietzko worked on the "super group" Schwein and its albums Schweinstein and the subsequent remix album, Son of Schweinstein.
She recorded one solo album, From the Land of Volcanos. One single off the album, "I Will", appeared on the American Pie 2 soundtrack.
After the MDFMK project was discontinued, Lucia was asked to return as a member of KMFDM. She has been a member of the band since 2002's Attak. In July 2005, she married fellow band member Sascha Konietzko. They have one child together.
She also collaborates as a member on KGC, starting with their 2006 album Dirty Bomb.
