About
Luciano Illuminati is an alternative rock artist and classically-trained musician from Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA who plays guitar, bass guitar, drums, drum programming & keyboards. He sings most of his lyrics, but speaks the lyrics sometimes as well. He writes and produces all of his songs. A few of his other gigs include Founder/CEO of SPOIO, author of Wealth Building Strategies of the Super Rich and The Boss, program director of FreeRockRadio and designer of message tees: BE Healthy Apparel and Proud to be Straight.
He started playing music at about 11 years old, just messing around with a cheap keyboard. Then he started writing and singing songs, learned trumpet and found the urge to rap his poetry instead of just reading it. He played trumpet in school bands from 6th grade until he switched to tuba in 11th grade. His Salem High School concert band won the state championship and the marching band came in second. He retired from school band at the top of his game after 11th grade to concentrate on his own music. His interest in conscious rap lead him into a group that had contacts and producers so he did shows with them for about 2 years. They did university events and clubs, opening up for a few platinum selling national acts.
After graduation at age 17, he decided that he preferred bands that write all original music and play instruments so he joined a funk rock band. He started playing guitar and fell in love with a sexy, rebellious lass named Rock N' Roll. She shook him all night long.. After that experience he bought his own recording equipment and more instruments and has been a solo alternative rock artist ever since.
