At first glance, it reads like a love story. But the truth behind Luca and Claudette’s journey is far more layered — a real-life collision of survival, fate, and music that has transformed into one of the most compelling independent breakthroughs of recent years.
Italian immigrant Gianluca Zanna, professionally known as Luca, first crossed paths with American singer Claudette Lyons under extraordinary circumstances. Claudette was facing the aftermath of a violent attack that nearly took her life, and Luca — already established in the world of security — stepped in when she needed protection most. What followed was more than a rescue; it became the beginning of an unbreakable bond that would eventually extend beyond real life into art.
That same chemistry now powers their creative identity. Whether in the recording studio or on stage, Luca and Claudette deliver something audiences instantly recognize: authenticity. It’s not manufactured, not scripted — and that rare emotional sincerity has proven to be their greatest advantage in a music industry often dominated by formula.
The most striking part of their rise is that it has happened without major label backing.
In an era where corporate infrastructure often determines visibility, Luca and Claudette have built their momentum independently — and their numbers reflect that impact. Luca launched his own label, Zanna Records, turning creative ownership into a platform that now reaches audiences worldwide. Their standout release, “You Are My Destiny,” has generated over 5.7 million combined YouTube views across all versions, with the Future Remix alone surpassing 3.2 million views. The track’s reach has expanded well beyond online platforms, earning over 5,000 radio spins internationally and landing consistent placement across global radio rotations.
Their independent breakthrough reached another level in late 2025. “You Are My Destiny (Future Remix)” climbed to #1 on the North American College and Community Radio Chart in September 2025, then went on to hit #3 on Amazon’s Best Sellers Dance & Electronic Chart on October 14, 2025 — notably outranking tracks by global icons including Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, David Guetta, and Pitbull. The record also secured nationwide radio exposure through Top Hits USA, airing alongside artists such as Taylor Swift across 1,000+ stations for two consecutive months — a scale of exposure most independent artists never experience.
Their digital footprint continues to reflect that acceleration. The official Zanna Records YouTube channel has now surpassed 12 million views, underlining the duo’s rapidly expanding global audience.
As their music traveled, so did their story — and major media has taken notice. In January 2026, Rolling Stone UK published an in-depth feature titled “From Italian Boarding School Dreamer to International Music Producer,” documenting Luca’s journey from Italy to international recognition. The duo’s media presence has also included features on PIX11 News (New York), Forbes Magazine Scotland, and Music Connection Magazine (which spotlighted the artist’s rise in a feature titled “When Dreams Cross Borders: The Gianluca Zanna Phenomenon”). Additional visibility has followed across Rolling Stone US, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Billboard Magazine Italy — marking a rare cross-market recognition for an independently-driven project.
Beyond the duo’s romantic and artistic partnership, Luca has also captured attention for his cultural impact. His viral patriotic anthem “Wake Up America” was licensed for use on This American Life, one of the most respected public radio programs in modern broadcasting. The song also erupted as a viral TikTok phenomenon, generating over 16 million views and inspiring nearly 100,000 TikTok videos, further proving Luca’s ability to build cultural momentum far beyond traditional industry pipelines.
For Luca, the success is personal — and rooted in belief.
“I always believed in my music, having written and produced hundreds of songs over the years, but meeting Claudette changed everything,” Luca says. “She is my other half, and I hers. It’s a love story that found wings through our music — there is nothing more beautiful than that.”
Today, Luca and Claudette have built a catalogue of more than 150 original singles, positioning themselves not just as artists but as a proven independent brand with measurable traction. They are currently exploring distribution and sub-publishing alliances to expand their reach globally — while remaining committed to their creative independence and long-term vision.

Another distinctive layer of their identity is their shared focus on spirituality and healing. Both Luca and Claudette are licensed hypnotherapists, and they incorporate positive subliminal themes of love, hope, and emotional restoration into their work — building music that aims to uplift as much as it entertains. Their belief is clear: that music can be a force for healing, connection, and change.
Claudette describes it simply — and powerfully:
“There are no accidents. Everything is meant to be. This is a partnership that was made in heaven — literally.”
In a music industry increasingly shaped by algorithms and manufactured virality, Luca and Claudette stand out for something rare: a true partnership, built from hardship, transformed through purpose, and amplified by undeniable global response. Their rise isn’t just impressive — it’s a reminder that independence, when paired with authenticity, can still break through at the highest level.
Read on for our full interview with Luca & Claudette
Talk about your music?
Claudette: Our music is healing, hopeful, wild, free, soul-infused, heartfelt, and angelic. Bringing harmony to people, bringing, joy, positive energy, movements to help awaken humanity and unite.
Luca: It is my life, everything I write, I have lived.
Talk about your inspiration for your songs?
Claudette: The universe, and astronomy really opened me up. I get my inspiration from my imagination, unity, and never giving up. I truly am a phoenix rising.
Luca: My inspiration comes from life, love, freedom, and overcoming adversities.
Where did you do most of your recording?
Claudette: In our home studio.
What’s your biggest inspiration in your music?
Claudette: It came from rising from adversity, overcoming challenges. Also, I am healing from grief, and suffering.
Luca: The emotions that life brings to me. I process them and create songs.
Who is your mentor?
Claudette: Cliff Oscher, (business) - Ben Williams (spiritual) - Gianluca Zanna, (Music), Emma Peel is my Hero.
Luca: Growing up since the age of 11 in public boarding school, my first mentor was my instructor Mauro Colombi, then at 16 in military school, my military instructors. When comes to music, my mentor and inspiration is Claes Cornelius, former Mega Records executive who discovered and launched artists like Ace of Base. Today, he is also part of my team.
Talk about your partnership?
Claudette: We balance each other out - we learn from each other and support each other. Luca provides and protects me. The beautiful part is I surrendered everything to God’s purpose, and I was delivered the opportunities that embody heaven by Lucas side.
Luca: Claudette is the woman I always wanted and dreamt about. She was made for me. Mentally, spiritually, physically and musically. We are one.
Talk about being an immigrant?
Luca: It is a privilege. I had the opportunity to live 2 lives in one. Learning from my past life in Italy, when I left Rome at 30, finally decided to emigrate to America. It was not easy, learning a new language, new lifestyle, but it was exciting. My first place I started my American life, was in Studio City. I still remember the excitement every morning sitting and sipping my coffee, visualizing the things I wanted to achieve.
Talk about growing up poor?
Claudette: Having been homeschooled I worked full time at 13. 5 days a week as a nanny, and Saturdays in a hair saloon as a secretary. I contributed to home. I learned it takes action and will power - but you can do it.
Luca: It was a blessing; in a way, it gave me the chance to appreciate things. But my first 10 years of life, when my parents were still married, I was not poor, but I was a spoiled rich child with private driver. My father was wealthy, but he was also violent. He almost killed my mother, and I tried to defend her, and I felt her pain as well. That day I started to desire to learn how to stop violence, becoming a professional in the business of violence. I became later in life a Krav Maga Military instructor certified in Israel, and a professional in executive protection. After 10 my mother finally divorced and my life changed, because my father stopped his economic support. So, I decided to go to public boarding school. These years were probably the most painful but also important of my life. A dramatic change of reality, where you are alone surrounded by other children who have similar stories, but sometimes too many of them are also violent, and you need to learn fast how to avoid becoming their victim. It was an amazing wild ride. I learned much more than an average child will ever learn at home. In these years, my only hobby besides listening to my contraband radio at night under the blankets in the dormitory, I loved to go the library and read books about America, the revolution, and the open spaces. Listening to rock with my English professor: my first song I learned and translated in Italian it was Rock and Roll – “All Nite”, by Kiss. These years were fundamental to create my vision to come to America.
Talk about how your childhood molded the person you are today?
Claudette: I was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness. My Mom loved singing, she was a singer, and we would perform often at gatherings and events. Also, I did jazz, and hip-hop dance. I left home at 15, I wanted to explore the world. A place we never talked much about as a closed organization; by leaving home I was exiled by the congregation, including my mother. This turned me to singing in a band to express a lot of confusion, uncertainty, fear and but I still felt empowered.
Luca: I left home at the age of 11, and by choice I went to a public boarding school because my mother was a cancer survivor. They were divorced; we did not have any support from him. I wanted to give her economic support, to give her some relief. That was my real-life school, learning how to stand against bullies, and learning how to take care of myself. At the same time, in that place I found refuge in music. While all my friends were playing soccer, I started writing my first poems. Then one day I broke in an attic of the school, and I discovered old instruments, I started play with them, with the goal to create my first songs. My first song I wrote it on an old bass guitar using only the E string at 11. At 16, I decided to go to the military academy, but then I realized soon that my dream was to create music, not to follow orders. I was in pain, literally I could not wait to get out of there. But there were some things that were good, I learned discipline, focus, and honor.
What are the most challenging things in your life?
Claudette: The full circle of life, I witnessed impermanence working in the emergency department, so now I choose forgiveness and compassion. Even when others judge and gossip, I have been sending them love anyway. That can be a challenge.
Luca: I miss my 2 sons. I can't stand government. I lived most of my life alone, and sometimes it is difficult to adapt to a family life.
How has love changed your music?
Claudette: Love changes everything. Because when you exercise your heart with love, you have more courageous power to assert that deep surrender. Again, God and the angels channel the music, I am honored and grateful to be the vessel.
Luca: Love is my music. I wrote about love since I was a child, but it was a love that I could never find, because of my not conformist character, maybe too sensitive for my age. With Claudette and our love story, my music finally has found the love I always desired: mental, spiritual and physical.
Who was the first recording artist that you remember hearing?
Claudette: Carly Simon.
Luca: Lucio Battisti “I giardini di Marzo”.
Talk about the first time you met?
Claudette: In person on January 28 th - 2023 at 11:20am, Surreal!!! Like a mirror finally meeting. I felt like we were giants together. When we met there was the rare green comet named C/2022, it made its orbit as we met. The last time it had orbited, was 50,000 years ago!!!! We are rare.
Luca: On January 28 – 2023, just few minutes before 12 PM in Sedona AZ. She is walking down the stairs of her home and before even I touched her hand, just looking into her eyes I knew she was the one.
How have you changed each other?
Claudette: I am a gentler communicator. I have learned it is safe to trust a romantic partner, Luca is considerate, we always meet in the middle. We know we are ride or die.
Luca: I do not want to change anyone, and I do not want to be changed, but one thing I consider is to be open for improvements, and to respect each other.
What’s on your playlist right now?
Claudette: Enigma, Alica Keys, and Luca & Claudette.
Luca: From Donna Summers, to Jean Michelle Jarre, Blondie, Bee Gees, AC/DC, and Vivaldi.
Who is your all-time favorite recording artist and why?
Luca: I do not have an all-time favorite. I have an all-time favorite for each style of music. For Electronic Music: Giorgio Moroder, for his talent and his sense of innovation. For Rock: AC/DC for their energy and simplicity. For Pop: George Michael, because I wanted to be like him.
How has your music changed in the last 5 years?
Claudette: I listen to less music daily; I create and sing more music daily.
Luca: My music changes every day. I like to write - from dance, to rock and classical.
What is the takeaway from your writing any of your songs?
Claudette: Becoming the witness, the one that writes then the one that hears and feel the merging, asking myself, exactly how the listeners feel. If it’s similar to how I feel?
Luca: I do not really write anything. Normally I dream my melodies... and the words come through me naturally. I start to think I am kind of possessed.
Talk about some of the producers you have worked with?
Luca: Simone Sello, a great guitar player and producer from Rome Italy, who lives in the US, and we worked together in America since 1999, just few months after I came to America. The last few years, Brian Reeves, he worked with me at many of my latest singles. Not only does he have taste and knowledge, but also the fact that he worked with some of my favorite artists: Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, and Billy Idol.
What would you tell a young person starting out in the music business?
Claudette: Practice your will, practice your determination, hear what people say, but know in your heart that you must be who you are meant to be. Be strong, stay in your heart, protect and provide for your music. That is your gift.
Luca: Be patience, and focused. Be humble but believe in yourself even when nobody believes in you. Get rid of people who are negative. Keep pushing, never give up. Have fun, because in the end we are all going to die.
Talk about your fans?
Claudette: I am so grateful for our ambassadors! We have the most loving caring ambassadors from all over the world. When the days are long, I think of them, they really support us in ways that are blessed, and genuine. I love them!
Luca: I never had fans before I met Claudette, because I never performed previously. I have been a songwriter and a producer, so never had the desire to show my face and connect with fans, until 3 years ago. Now with Luca and Claudette we are receiving support and love from amazing new friends from around the world. We call them “Friends of Luca and Claudette.” From Italy to Australia, and beyond. We have created on our website a space just for them.
https://lucaclaudette.com/friends-of-luca-claudette

Claudette: I went to Cosmetology School. I do our hair, makeup and wardrobe for our shows and videos!
Luca: At home I am the cook, and I am very good.
What would you say about your fashion style?
Claudette: I love to be unique! Ever since I was 15, I began to “customize” my looks. As I mentioned earlier, Emma Peel from the avengers is my hero. I dress similar, superhero, also I love elegance, and class.
Luca: I always dress the same. I wear the same pants and shirts and will until I die.
How do you dress on the red carpet?
Claudette: Elegant gowns, beautiful heels, couture handbag, majestic colors, textures and lovely perfume.
Luca: Always very elegant, hand tailored fashion.
What’s a typical day like for you?
Claudette: Wake up before the Sun, I have a ritual - I brush herbal tea on my face with an organic cosmetic brush, I affirm and breath in and exhale deeply, hold my womb in my right hand and my heart with my left. I pray gratitude to God, I pray for peace and protection for everyone I know by name, I sage the house, Luca joins me! We make coffee in the coffee press with cinnamon and honey, and we drink mineral water. We write our to do list, then we do a meditation for 5 minutes. Luca visualizes everything he wants us to accomplish, I close my eyes, focus on a flame then I remove everything from my thoughts, clearing to feel my body, and make myself calm. We embrace, we laugh, then we go the gym and attack!
Luca: Waking up with the sun, getting my coffee, writing on paper the plan for the day, and the mission for the week. Then working out and working until I am hungry. But working I do not consider it working but doing things I love. I love to train Krav Maga. Then go to sleep with the stars. No tv.
What's your tip on how to monetize your music?
Claudette: Consistency, like your life depends on it. Keep Going!!! Do your research, be involved in your strategies, surround yourself with appropriate people, places and education. What you give returns, learn humility, practice standing up for yourself, power up from your hearts center. Pray, learn true prayer to remain grateful, be healthy!
Luca: I am still learning, I cannot give any type of tip but the one. Learn how to do it, then delegate it.
What does your stage show look like?
Claudette: Energetic, at times melodic as we interact with everyone. We utilize the power of words with questions and remarks to empower thinking patterns, our stage show is with great style! Luca dresses sophisticated and sheik, all in black professional suave - James Bond style. I go between multiple colorful cinematic outfits; I enjoy the uniqueness of it all.
Luca: Very simple: I am behind with my stand, my mixer and keyboard. Claudette is in front, and she dances and sings, behind us we have normally monitors.
How do you prepare for a show?
Claudette: I chant and affirm, I like to do some cardio briefly, get my blood going then calm myself putting right hand on womb, and left over my heart, connecting to become that divine vessel.

If you could change one person’s life through your music - what song would that be and why?

When did you know you wanted to be a singer as a career?
Claudette: From a child I had vison.
Luca: I never wanted to be a singer. I wanted to be a songwriter, now with Claudette, I started singing, or at least speaking, in our songs, but my main goal is to write and produce songs.
Which family member has been the most influential in your singing career?
Claudette: Maureen Rena Lyons, she has been my favorite teacher. She is a divine feminine - she always sang, danced, smiled and dressed so elegantly.
Luca: My boarding school was my family member who influenced me into music.
How has your family helped you in your career?
Claudette: By the blessings that have become possible from transmutation, from the grief of my parents passing very early unexpected in my life. I began to open more to my soul through their “end”. I eventually regained balance from the grief. I vowed to not give into suffering to take me down. So, I sing for everyone that is a part of who I am, and I don’t believe I could connect so much depth and appreciation without them.
Luca: I stop receiving economic support from my father at the age of 11. My mother tried to help in everything she could, but at the end I always helped myself.
What was the first song you ever heard?
Claudette: My mother sang Nat King Cole to me, and Natalie Cole, “Unforgettable.”
Luca: Lucio Battisti “I giardini di Marzo”.
Which music artists have paved a path for you and your music?
Claudette: En Vogue, Dave Matthews, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Beastie Boys, Marvin Gaye, Pink Floyd, and The Beatles.
Luca: Lucio Battisti from Italy. Donna Summers, Blondie, Early Kiss, Giorgio Moroder, AC/DC, Jean Michelle Jarre, The Clash, Bee Gees, Eagles, George Michael, Robert Miles, and Ace of Base.
Which current music artists are your favorites and why?
Claudette: Listed above are just a few, I love to feel the soul of a song. As you can imagine this list goes on and on... Lenny Kravitz, Bob Marley, and Dick Dale.
Luca: I do not follow any current music artists. I do not listen to radio, and I do not own a Television, my mind is still in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.
If you were not a recording artist what would be doing?
Claudette: I love teamwork. Working together for a cause. Give me a great cause that helps protect, educate and inspire, I am there!
Luca: Growing vegetables and training Krav Maga.
How has your faith guided you in music?
Claudette: Every single breath. After my mother and father died, I was young, early 20’s, I decided to take the last of my dwindling finances to record 4 songs I wrote. I was so filled with massive emotions, it was difficult. I do not know how I carried that much pain. But I prayed to God every step, I knew to keep going in the darkness. Other than God, I was alone. This journey is proof in the faith of our universe, it has proven itself as a lamp. A Northern star, faith!
Luca: I have faith in myself when comes to music. My faith in God, it is for more important things.
You have had ups and downs in your personal life, how have these situations helped with your music?
Claudette: Music for me is the union that merges the soul to a higher state of being. Imagine being so thirsty and all you need to feel yourself again is mineral water, but all there seems to be is unhealthy Kool-Aid, then you find the mineral water and appreciate what you know is the service to the ups & downs, it is an elevator to heaven, so I stay deeply connected.
Luca: I always used my music to transform my pain into something constructive, rather than destructive.
Was there any time when you felt alone and scared?
Claudette: Yes many, my faith always guided me through.
Luca: I felt alone most of my life, since I grew up alone, but I never felt scared to be alone. Sometimes I felt scared when I was with the wrong people.
Talk about being how trauma has influenced your music?
Claudette: Trauma is like an additional blueprint. It influences my relationship to music in so many places. I knew that some of my deepest healing would be transcended in putting the guard down and trusting the full exposure to light. Our voice chakra desires its sacred space of truth, safety, perseverance, and expression. The angels I do trust they have a direct connection with music in general but for me in my singing, 100 percent, I release, I surrender and embody the Phoenix.
Luca: I do not consider my pain as a trauma but a learning experience to improve. Without pain there would be no gain. But most of my songs share my personal experience, that reflect my life, not exactly normal.
What was the best part of this experience?
Claudette: It is still occurring right now, personal growth, relationship with faith. Life is precious.
Luca: I learned to be happy with being alone, unless I find the right person, I do not need extras.
What was the hardest part of this experience?
Claudette: The trauma, the isolation, not having support.
Luca: To find a purpose that gives a purpose to life.
What kind of hardships did you encounter?
Claudette: I now surrender everything to my relationship with God. I have sensitivities to chaos; however I have learned to walk away from what is meant to pull us away from that light. I have become resilient.
Luca: Not having a regular family.
What do you think most needy people should do to make them happier?
Claudette: Connect with the universe, observing celestial objects with a telescope and learning astronomy really opened my heart, soul and mind to potential, perspectives, macro, micro, healing, cycles and curiosity. Writing in a journal often, creating time and space to learn who we are and who we can be with aligned actions.
Luca: I do not like to speak for others. I can speak for myself. For me it is simple: being healthy (without that nothing matters), a good meal, a glass of organic wine, and a guitar, and of course the love of your life.
What are your strong points?
Claudette: Loyalty, patience, compassionate, organized, loving, and giving.
Luca: I am focused, determined, I never quit until I achieve what I want.
What are your weak points?
Claudette: Critical, perfectionist, burn out. I keep better balance of these however I am aware of the neurological patterns, so I utilize self-hypnosis to adjust the edges.
Luca: Sometimes I am too used to living as a single man, with my old habits. I am getting used to thinking as part of a couple.
In today’s political divide what can you do to help heal this country through your music?
Claudette: There is a space that is alive that people are distracted from. Fear, anxiety, stress, cortisol. Our music is a muse, our music wakes up, by the power sound, and honest heart space from us. We believe a music movement; revolution is a part of humanity. We can unite rather than this competitive division.
Luca: This political world is a game to divide and separate the people, to better control them. The political parties have been created to divide and conquer. Unfortunately, no matter what party is in control, nothing really changes. Besides the dance songs I write with Claudette, that mostly talk about love, and self-empowerment, my other songs, I talk about freedom and individual rights. My goal is to unite people and show them the common enemy.
This gift that you have as a singer, how do you preserve it?
Claudette: Prayer, I rehearse every morning connecting to my soul then every evening I rehearse. I pay attention to my tone all day while I speak. I steam my face every day. Breathing in deeply. I do jaws stretches; my throat chakra is also charged daily with my tuning fork 384 hertz. I do not force myself. When I feel not entirely balanced instead of frustration and forcing, I drop lower volume and speak gently into the microphone. It is all about love.
Luca: I am not a singer. Maybe under the shower.
What is your health regime?
Claudette: I discontinued eating any sugar, bread, pasta just about 6 months ago. I feel amazing. I make juices at home, carrots, apples, beets, cucumber, ginger, celery. I take supplements such as B12, Copper, Zinc, L-Tyrosine and Creatine. I work out and do yoga, cardio I also teach. This is very good for me. I am a horse in Chinese astrology, a lot of athletic energy and power. Plus, a Taurus Sun, so, I am very much in my body. I go barefoot to ground and meditate to really bring in that stability deep into the body. I enjoy esthetics, Venus is my ruling planet, so I lavish in herbal homemade mixtures of skin and hair masks with oils. I train myself to smile and look awake.
Luca: I call it lifestyle. Regime sounds like you are under tyranny. I train Krav Maga and push myself to be the best I can be. I eat organic and not processed food. I eat only when I am hungry not by the official meals. Normally, since my last night meal, I do not eat until 16 hours later. I drink organic wine at night, and I do not smoke and never take any medications. Also, the last few years I discovered Edibles, that are good for your joints. Organic edibles, of course.
Talk about your vocal ranges, how do you manage all of them?
Claudette: Practice, technique. It is about surrender but also having teachers and applying time for the craft.
Luca: All I do I yell; I can be good at that. But I do not really sing or train for that.
Pop and Dance music is so iconic, how do you see it staying relevant?
Claudette: Moving our body’s is a gem! I see that we as a humanity enjoy the sensations of dancing to pop and dance music. It is a wonderful way to express and release. It’s here to likely evolve, however it will remain part of music’s structure.
Luca: The instruments and sounds may evolve, but dance was born with humanity, since the prehistoric times. Dance will never go away. Same for Pop. It is all about dopamine. Can the music deliver it?
What was it like hearing that “You Are My Destiny” (Future Remix) went to #3 on Amazon's Best Sellers Dance & Electronic Charts in October, outranking tracks by Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, David Guetta, and Pitbull?
Claudette: I still have the feeling, all I can say is, Mom & Dad, wherever you are now, I am certain I have you to thank you for this, it is magical. Truly a blessing.
Luca: I thought it was a prank. We held this position for over 2 days. I was amazed.
How did it feel to be a finalist on America’s Top Hit Maker?
Claudette: I knew we could do it; I have had visions since I remember. This is what kept me going with faith in the dark times. The vision. Meeting Luca, us together. It is time. Grateful for every moment, Thank you America’s Next Hit Maker - what a tremendous journey!
Luca: I felt like I was able to complete a mission impossible movie. It was an amazing task, especially because this is a nationwide event, with thousands of participants, and to end just under the winner, considering I was not a performing artist with no fans, I can't believe it I did it.
Can you describe your songwriting process?
Claudette: I see it, I feel it. Then write it and sing it.
Luca: Most of melodies are gift from another dimension. I do not really write anything on demand. I just live emotions that transform in sounds and lyrics. Besides my dreams, my melodies sometimes just come out while I drive. For the lyrics, I just relax, close my eyes, relive the moments I am depicting in the song, and they come out naturally.
Talk about future plans for Zanna Records?
Claudette: Sync deals, collaborations, recognition, and investment opportunities.
Luca: Global distribution for my catalogue with a major label and licensing deals for commercials, tv and movies. My inspiration and role model are the former Mega Records of my mentor Claes Cornelius, who created Mega Records with his friend, in a back office of a nautical store in Copenhagen, a few years later it became a global success story.
Are you excited about this upcoming year?
Claudette: This is the year of the Horse. Need I say more.
Luca: Of course, I am. I am excited every morning I wake up and I can walk with my legs.
Talk about what your plans are for this new year?
Claudette: Travel, interviews, performance, modeling, acting, and mentoring.
Luca: Staying with Claudette, listening to music, cooking together, looking at the stars.
What is the one thing that anyone can do to change the world?
Claudette: Ask themselves if they are healthy and creating with life, rather than life moving them around without a direction.
Luca: In my humble opinion, start first changing your own personal world for the better. The result of your actions can inspire others to change their world. And like that, the whole world may change.
Do you have any regrets?
Claudette: I have gone through deep spiritual healing, reflection to the sadness, the grief the trauma in order to purify my story. To locate the light at the other side. So, after forgiveness I must say no, I do not. I am who I am because of every unconscious and conscious choice that I have made.
Luca: Yes, when I was 14, I was very shy with girls. But after 16 I changed, because I learned from my regrets of things not said.
Talk about all of the new articles that just came out?
Claudette: I am honored, thrilled and excited to share triumph over challenges and standing up in the light. I love it. And I am so proud of Luca. I call him my Saint.
Luca: We started with the Rolling Stone full page in the December issue, that was really an honor. Same period we had Forbes Scotland, Entrepreneurs UK, Music Connection, and just now I have the confirm for Rolling Stone UK and Billboard Italia. To be an independent artist with major label support, I am doing amazing. And I am humble but honest.
Talk about Sedona and why you love it there?
Claudette: The first time I stood barefoot on Thunder Mountain, I felt a strong sense that seemed to say, you are home - at least for now! It is a beautiful space, I have spent long periods in the desert, writing, praying, dreaming of the life I was building. Connecting with the red rocks has been something that can be described as sacred. The Night sky is part of the international dark sky community, I am the GM of a successful 23-year company, we lead astronomy tours with 21 telescopes and our talented team of astronomers and astronomers’ assistants. This has been a huge positive for me.
Luca: I love it there because I love Claudette. Because it is the place where we met, and our story started. It is beautiful, magic, but for me sometimes too crowded.
Is there another place you see yourself living?
Claudette: I can see myself living many places, I adapt well. I love to explore and experience.
Luca: I see myself living where I live; I love my ranch in the middle of nowhere Arizona. That is my favorite place. But I enjoy travelling to see for few days places where I would not like to live but I enjoy it for sensations: NY, Los Angeles, Rome, Samoa Islands, but my home is the Arizona wilderness, like the spaghetti western movies I used to watch in Italy.
How do you relax?
Claudette: Hot baths with incense and the quiet. I love the quiet. I also love to study and read and write. Walks in nature and cuddling with Luca.
Luca: A glass of wine, my guitar, pen and paper.
What does the future hold for Luca & Claudette?
Claudette: Professional contracts that align with our energy, fruitful partnerships, travel international, brand expansion, laughter, appreciation, and giving back.
Luca: We need to ask to the stars to know what the future hold. All I know from my end; I will do everything I can to be sure the world will know about Luca and Claudette and their music.
