1) Luciano (real name… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) 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.
2. 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.

Klick, Negro, zwei Gesichter
Charismatisch und stabil vorm Richter
Blocksympatisch, doch bin kalt wie Winter
Das Bedürfnis nach mehr, also zeig' ich mich
Jetzt will jeder Bruder sein, ich zeig' kein Gesicht, peinlich ist
Dass sie lügen, sie gönn'n dir nicht

The lyrics to Luciano's song "2 Gesichter" explore the duality of his personality and experiences. The song begins with the repetition of "Gang" and "Flex," emphasizing his affiliation with a certain lifestyle and his ability to adapt and showcase his strengths. Luciano describes himself as having two faces, one charismatic and stable in front of the judge and the other block-sympathetic and cold like winter. He carries the streets within him and feels the need to show himself despite the expectations and desires of others. Luciano navigates a world full of lies, envy, and intrigue, but these negative influences do not affect him. He refers to himself as "Negro," signifying his strength and resilience. He reflects on his past involvement with illegal activities but highlights his transformation towards legality, where money comes legally and he no longer needs to be a dealer. The lyrics also touch on his internal struggles, with too many thoughts in his mind and a divided soul as a result of drug use. The song concludes by expressing the complexities of life and the pursuit of success.
