Growing up in Glasgow alongside an Italian family, Luchi wrote songs from his bedroom, recording his material at the age of sixteen. He would go on to debut at No.9 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Charts, with his third single reaching No.2. Over his career, 15 of his singles have since hit the iTunes top 10.
In 2021 Luchi worked with Stargate and their team at the Los Angeles Academy for Artists & Music Production, being mentored by industry giants like Ne-Yo, Charli XCX, Justin Tranter, and Emily Warren. He describes songwriting as “free therapy’, his music infused with personal experiences to create honest lyrics. With his soulful voice and mature style, Luchi is poised to make a significant impact in the music industry.
Luchi‘s ‘Web Of Lies’ sets the tone, a blend of his ballad, and powerful singing voice with dark and plucky pop arrangements. The airy vocal chops ring out far beyond the speakers, creating an almost eerie sense of emotion, a creeping mist of pain attempting to end Luchi‘s boundless hopefulness. His lyricism is poetic, painting a vivid picutre of his thoughts, all the internal conflict he experiences, bursting out as an accusatory and combative performance against the antagonist.
Luchi explains, ”So I wrote “Web Of Lies” last year after a pretty bad breakup, which is the story of my life. Thank god for songwriting as it’s saved me from many a bad breakup. It was a relationship built on so many lies and that inspired the title of the song because one lie led to another and he had spun a web so thick that I don’t know how he kept track. Well he couldn’t and that’s how I worked it out but we digress. The song opens with how you fall into the trap as I am an over sharer and often will tell you my life story after only knowing you 5 minutes but that’s great for a narcissist who will then use that to play on all your insecurities. It weaves through all the games and manipulation sadly a lot of us experience in relationships and as the song goes on, the power builds up which I love and you finally say enough is enough and walk away from a toxic situation.
The song plays on the concept of karma and I love that. It feels like you’re almost being haunted with all the backing vocals and adlibs coming from all different angles. I’m not one of those people who breaks up with someone and wants revenge for the things they done, I leave that up to the universe to do onto them what they have done, I mean I will write a song about it but that’s my therapy. The song is a bit darker in vibe to the stuff I have been releasing recently and I like that it shows a different side to my music. I think it suits the song to be a bit more edgy and harder as it was actually written as a piano ballad and was a lot more vulnerable sounding but when I got together with my producer Chris Stagg, we just went for it and I love what we came out with. After a little 6 month hiatus, I think it’s the perfect way to reintroduce myself to my audience and sets up what I have to come for the rest of the year music wise experimenting with different sounds and styles while still keeping it pop.”
