Luca Turilli (musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luca Turilli (born 5 March 1972) is an Italian musician (primarily a guitarist) and composer. He is one of the founders of the symphonic power metal band Rhapsody of Fire. He also worked on a trilogy of solo albums as Luca Turilli. He has now formed a second side band, named Luca Turilli's Dreamquest, alongside Dominique Leurquin, which released its first album, Lost Horizons, in the summer of 2006.
On all albums by his various bands and projects, Luca writes much (if not all) of the music and lyrics and plays most of the lead guitars. On some albums he also plays keyboards - in Dreamquest he performs in this role only.
[edit] Biography
Turilli was born in Trieste, Venezia Giulia. Due to the influence of his father, he became interested in classical music and learned to play piano and guitar. In 1993 he found the band Thundercross, which was renamed Rhapsody after releasing the first demo, and renamed once again, to Rhapsody of Fire because of copyright reasons in 2006.
