[edit] BIOGRAPHY:
Born into a family whose name is synonymous with musical genius, Luca Mancini's chosen career path stems more from the love and passion he personally has for music, than that out of paternal obligation. Born March 1988 in Santa Monica of Musician Chris Mancini and a Swedish supermodel formerly known as "LA Legs". There were no expectations of musical success for the new born Mancini, growing up in and around the industry's Los Angeles finest, but what was to come of the young man was anything but anticipated.
The Mancini legacy started first with Lucas' grandfather, the legendary composer/conductor Henry Mancini[[1]].
He held the record for:
-Winning the most Grammy's and Oscar's combined.
[20 Grammy's & 4 Academy Awards]
-Unprecedented 72 Grammy Nominations
However, the musical background surely does not rest there. Renowned jazz vocalist/patron of the arts Grandmother Ginny, and followed by his acclaimed Grammy Nominated concert performing vocalist Aunt Monica. His accomplished writer-producer Father Chris wrote and co-produced his own album for Atlantic Records, "No Strings" in 1983, where the quality in his voice had then been compared to Steve Perry. Luca's decision to follow down a course rich in musical history and philanthropy appears on its face to be logical, yet if you consider the pressure of filling not just one set of shoes, but two previous generations of such musical accomplishments, one might rethink his position.
Luca Mancini discovered his own talent after singing in a Los Angeles Recording Studio. He was singing along to another vocalist, when unexpectedly, the studio producer suddenly turned his head towards the new sound he heard and the voice he showed express interest in. Luca Mancini began working with this very man; Multi-Platinum hit Songwriter-Producer, Richard Podolor (Three Dog Night, Steppenwolf, The Eagles, Ella Fitzgerald, Queen, Santana). Innovative in his day, 52 million records sold, and the first record producer to achieve Platinum-Selling status. He nearly let Luca finish and interrupted; "Now that’s a chart-topping voice!" Luca Mancini welcomes this challenge and is committed to carry on and preserve the Mancini family legacy for generations to come, while at the same time make his own mark on the entertainment industry utilizing the inborn talents, passion, and work ethic he has been blessed with.
Luca Mancini, singer-songwriter, musician, budding producer, and visionary has is eyes set on a prize that is ripe and within his reach. With a cunning and creative ear for both music and the business of music, Luca has developed and carved out a hybrid niche that is self-described as "Pop music that defies the genre". Left with Podolor's mentoring, Luca sets out to collaborate with other producers to create and develop his new sound as his unique styling evolves.
Luca's approach to his cutting-edge, new breed of Pop emanated from his desire to create, foster and disseminate music that reflects his own eclectic taste and the forethought that today's listening audience has had it's fill of the norm and mundane, same 'ol recycled format/marketing driven music that continues to be distributed to the masses. In today's marketplace where America shouts that it wants substance, Luca has honed in on the desires of the young "downloading generation", as well the discerning ears of the savvy listening public at large. Luca stands poised and ready to fulfill and satisfy the needs of the modern consumer and pounce upon the gap left wide open in the industry.
Luca states, "I have never felt any pressure growing up in my family to be a musician, I'm doing this because it’s me; It is what I want for my life". With microphone in hand, dancing shoes laced up, guitar at the ready, and advocating the charity he believes in, Luca unselfishly prepares for this opportunity to share his gift of performing on the worlds stages before an international audience.
"I'm so happy to finally be able to step into my own skin. Sure, music is in my blood, but for me it's rather feeling a deeper connection with the music. It's not a matter of obligation or just because I happen to be a Mancini. The bonds that tie us to the love of music wasn't blood... it was our own independent heart and soul"
