Luc Floreani

Luc has just finished recording an acoustic single entitled Breathe (produced Kit Woolven), which is set for release in January, with all proceeds going to www.staro.org, the rain forest saving charity that Luc is patron of; formed by ex advertising exec Jessica Hadfield. Luc has decided to dedicate a lot of his time and to this good cause; this has included going in to schools to teach the kids the song to bring awareness of the problem to the next generation.

Born in Alice Springs in central Australia, the 4th son of six kids, with a Politician father of Italian descent and an Irish mother, Luc was never going to be shy and retiring.

Luc's formative years found him indulging in many outdoor pursuits - one of those being falling down Ayers Rock, whilst on a camping holiday! After that he took up horse riding and represented the Northern Territory at the age of 14. He continued to compete in show jumping at a higher level over the next few years.

Luc moved to Adelaide to study Chiropractics, however, after 2 years of his 6 years course; he changed to follow his real love; music and he went to study classical vocals at the South Australian Conservatory of Music.

Having always had enforced upon Luc since childhood that he must get a 'proper job' and that music could only ever be a hobby; his parents heard him sing at this sister's wedding and were reduced to tears; realising what a talent they were denying.

He then decided he had to move to England if was going to further his career, so he headed to London with nowhere to stay and on a chance he someone who had given him their number, when they had heard him singing at wedding in Australia. She was organising a major charity event, the Walk The Walk, breast cancer event in Battersea Park; and she asked Luc to sing there, in front of 25,000 people. Somewhat of a baptism by fire, as Luc's previous audiences, mainly at weddings, had been more like 250. They were so delighted with Luc's performance, they asked him if he could write a single for them which became Walk In To Our Day.

Once in London, Luc started making contacts within the music business: one of these was Nettie Battam, composer and vocal coach to the likes of Claire Sweeney. Luc wrote a track, 'SuperHeroes' with Nettie, for boy soprano Dominic Burns, who has performed the track at the Royal Albert Hall, Silverstone and the opening of the Special Needs Olympics. Dominic has recorded this track with a full orchestra in Prague and has released it on his album.

Luc’s own album Northern Territory is set for release in the Spring.
