Luca was born in Rome, Italy and came the the States with his parents when he began college at Skidmore in Saratoga, NY. He had played guitar at his international high school in Rome with his friends, and started his first rock band in college. He went on to play with several rock bands in New York City. There was always music at home and Luca would often work out arrangements to Dan’s original songs and he began to write his own as well. Soon they were playing gigs throughout Westchester and “Even Trade Duo” was born.
