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.

Block Life
The song, Life by Luciano, delves into the life of a person living in the block, depicting the challenges they face to survive. The chorus sets the tone of hunger and finding ways to survive in a world filled with hardships. The introductory lines of the song make use of repetition (Block Life) to indicate the brutality of living in the block. The word Block symbolizes a sense of confinement and being trapped with no alternative in life.
The first verse of the song emphasizes the same concept of hunger at different levels, such as Loco (a person) who is still looking for Bela, who symbolizes a form of reassurance economically. The word Loco indicates madness, desperation, and deep anxiety that results from not having enough resources in a person's life. The verses also make use of imagery to illustrate the depth of the struggle, painting a picture of a person whose "head is full of demon and gin" to cope with the harsh realities of life.
The second verse shifts the tone slightly from describing the hardships to the rewards of the struggle. The verse talks about acquiring wealth, owning luxurious goods such as diamond watches, and investing in real estate. This shift in tone from hunger to wealth signifies the complexity of living in the block, where the drive to get wealth must coexist with the need to stay alive. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the idea that Block Life is a never-ending cycle of hunger.
