Luca on the Track: The Journey of a NYC Music Producer
Stellar Connect is excited to share a gem in the music industry, music producer Luca known as "Luca on the Track." Knowing Luca has been a pleasure, especially being able to see him in the studio always brimming with energy and getting incredibly locked into the musical process. Luca's dedication and passion for his craft are evident in everything he does.
One of Luca's standout achievements is producing track #4, "Body" featuring Cash Coain, which made it onto A Boogie With da Hoodie's latest album, "Better Off Alone." The song was a collaborative effort between Luca, Nico Baran, and Corey Cutz.
Luca’s journey into music production began with his love for music at a young age. He started playing drums in middle school and joined the band in high school. At 14, his drum teacher introduced him to audio software, sparking his interest in producing. He began experimenting, learning from YouTube tutorials, and hasn’t looked back since. Initially working with Logic (GarageBand), Luca switched to Ableton at 14 and started honing his craft.
Working with A Boogie With da Hoodie has been one of Luca's top experiences. After sending beats to A Boogie's engineers for 2-3 years, A Boogie himself reached out to Luca on Instagram last December, asking for more beats. This led to one of Luca's beats being selected for the project.By consistently reaching out and putting his work out there, Luca eventually caught A Boogie’s attention, leading to the collaboration on his most recent project.
When Rowdy Rebel was released from prison, Luca was one of the first producers to get into the studio with him, contributing to Rowdy’s first project post-release. Luca produced “Day Ones” and “Woo Nina” which were both on the same project. “Day Ones” he was able to produce in the studio with Rowdy Rebel. Luca’s credentials continue to grow, surpassing the typical achievements of many music producers.
He’s also worked with international artist Rondodasosa and produced a track for Kenzo Balla’s On The Radar freestyle episode. Bizzy Banks released a single, "TOTT Freestyle," produced by Luca, among others, and Jay Critch featured one of Luca’s beats on his album with track #4, "Minutes." The list of his accomplishments goes on and on.
Luca draws inspiration from various creatives throughout his life, with Southside being a significant influence. Watching producers on YouTube also fueled his passion. His advice for upcoming producers is simple yet filled with wisdom: "Make what you like making. Don't lower your worth for anyone because people in this industry will take advantage of you. Avoid trying to force things, avoid taking shortcuts and the easy way because in the long run, it will be more beneficial to put the work in."
Luca’s evolving story is a testament to dedication, passion, and the relentless pursuit of one's goals. As he continues to make his mark in the music industry, there’s no doubt that we’ll be hearing a lot more from Luca on the Track.
