Luca also knows how much it hurts to carry the load of discomfort of being a stranger in a strange land, cause he spent part of his life in singing, working and travelling cross the countries in the old and the new world.
Thanks to his talent he has collaborated with many famous artists of different genres, from jazz to rhythm and blues as Tony Scott, Eumir Deodato, David Bianco, Andrea Morricone, Don Moye, Juliette Lewis. His solo debut “Who Knows” was produced and arranged by Thomas Brenneck in New York. The album won many awards as best debut of the year and reached the Italian and German Charts. The single “How Did We Lose It” was the i-Tunes single of the week and has a special mention in the CBS’s Live on Letterman.
Soon Luca began bringing his recognizable sound cross over the European countries sharing the stage with artists as Paul Weller, Trombone Shorty, Sharon Jones, Lady and appeared as “special guest star” in TV shows as the famous german one “Die Harald Schmidt”.
