Luca Princiotta, born July 12, 1982 in Como, is an Italian guitarist. He began his career playing in the thrash metal band Deathector between 1996 and 1998, before joining the Iron Maiden tribute band Clairvoyants.[1] His most prominent role to date has been in BLAZE (the band of former Maiden frontman Blaze Bayley) as a replacement for their departed founding guitarist Steve Wray.[2] Originally used only as a tour musician, he was eventually hired on a permanent basis contributed to the songwriting for the band's upcoming album before departing in January 2007.

In June 2006 he was hired by the German heavy metal singer Doro to substitute the band's guitarist (and his then-BLAZE bandmate) Oliver Palotai in some European gigs. In September and October 2006 he was hired again by Doro to play on some European and South-American gigs.
