1) Luciano (born Jepther McClymont on October 20, 1964) is a Jamaican Roots Reggae artist. He first begun recording in 1992 under his first name Luciana, with his debut single "Ebony & Ivory" on the Aquarius Record label and followed with his debut album 'Moving Up' for RAS records in 1993. Luciano is the seventh of nine children and was born to extremely spiritual and musical parents while growing up in Daveyton, a small district in the central parish of Manchester, Jamaica.
2) Luciano, born in 1978 in Chile and raised in Switzerland. Started DJing in 1993 and producing electronic music since 1997. In the mid-90's, he was promoting Sense Club and Encuentros con la Technocultura in Santiago de Chile in the company of many initiators of the Latin American electronic music scene: Señor Coconut AKA Atom Heart, Ricardo Villalobos, Pier Bucci, Dandy Jack, Adrian Schopf, Washington Miranda, Argenix Brito, Microman, etc.
Luciano left Chile at 21 and moved to Europe (2000), settling in Geneva (Switzerland) to launch Mental Groove Records and holding a residency at the Weetamix club. He gradually invaded the inner reaches of electronic culture, forming a partnership with Ibiza’s most notorious underground club, Circoloco at DC10, which gave Luciano a perfect platform and a passionate audience for his irresistible, mind-altering blend of barebones techno and hot-blooded Latin rhythms. His releases appear on the Transmat, Perlon, Lo-Fi Stereo, Bruchstuecke and Klang Elektronik record labels.
Luciano's mixed Swiss & Chilean identity shows in his music, a somewhat mystical blend of deep techno & electro that integrates southern elements in rhythms and colourful patterns in sound. His collaborations with Ricardo Villalobos (Playhouse, Perlon, Warp, Force Inc etc.) as Sense Club are especially rewarding, as is his partnership with Pier Bucci and Argenix Brito as Monne Automne.
Mellowing his style as times goes by, getting more experimental and spacey with a fresh style of his own, Luciano’s production is destined to the wiser dancefloors.
3) Luciano (real name Patrick Großmann; born January 28, 1994 in Bautzen) is a German rapper from Berlin.
The son of a Mozambican father and a German mother, Luciano grew up mostly in the Schöneberg district of Berlin. He is a member of the rap crew Loco Squad Gang.
In 2020, Luciano was one of the first high-reach German-language rappers to release music in the internationally successful UK Drill style.

Luciano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Never gonna
Never gonna)
Hah haa
Never give you up
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
'Cause I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
(Never gonna)
Give you up
(Never gonna)
Let you down
(Never gonna)
Run around and desert you
(Never gonna)
Make you cry
(Never gonna)
Say goodbye
(Never gonna)
Tell a lie and hurt you
Hoo, hah haa
Hoo, hah haa
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it, baby
Inside we both know what's been going on
You know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
(Never gonna)
Give you up
(Never gonna)
Let you down
(Never gonna)
Run around and desert you
(Never gonna)
Make you cry
(Never gonna)
Say goodbye
(Never gonna)
Tell a lie and hurt you
Ooh
'Cause I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Yeah
(Never gonna)
Give you up
(Never gonna)
Let you down
(Never gonna)
Run around and desert you
(Never gonna)
Make you cry
(Never gonna)
Say goodbye
(Never gonna)
Tell a lie and hurt you
Never, never, never give you up
Never, never, never give you up
Never, never, never give you up
Never, never, never give you up
Never
Never give you up now, baby
Never
Never give you up now, baby
Never gonna
Never gonna
Never gonna
Never gonna
These lyrics are actually from the popular 1987 song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, and not Luciano's song "Give Praise". This song became a viral internet meme in the early 2000s, where people would send unsuspecting friends or acquaintances a hyperlink promising something interesting or useful, only to be redirected to the music video for "Never Gonna Give You Up". The song's lyrics are about expressing love and devotion, promising to never hurt or deceive the person being addressed. The chorus emphasizes this promise by repeating the phrase "never gonna give you up" over and over, and listing all the negative things the singer promises not to do.
Despite being famous for its meme status, "Never Gonna Give You Up" was actually a huge hit upon its initial release, reaching the top of the charts in over 20 countries. It has since become a beloved and nostalgic song for many people who grew up in the late 80s and early 90s. The song's music video has also become iconic for its use of a signature dance move called "The Rickroll", which involves Astley performing a sort of hop and arm gesture.
