Q: Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how your childhood impacted your musical direction?
I grew up in Milan, Italy, in a home where music was always playing. One of my earliest memories is dancing around the house when I was still small enough to walk underneath the dining table. The records I remember most are Portishead, Massive Attack, The Beatles, along with a lot of Italian music from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, especially artists like Mina, Caterina Caselli and Franco Battiato. I loved listening to Battiato in the car with my mother, singing along without a care in the world. My parents still laugh about how, as a little kid, I’d wander around the house singing Nada at the top of my lungs. My love for trip-hop and emotionally raw lyrics naturally found its way into my debut album, UNAPØLØGETIC. As I grew older, I fell in love with EDM and techno, and those influences are now shaping my upcoming releases. Looking back, it almost feels as though my music is retracing my own life: every project reflects a different stage of who I’ve been.
Q: How are you planning on growing your fan base and sharing your music with the world? What message do you have for anyone who is about to discover “Luzcøz”?
I believe people connect with authenticity before they connect with numbers. My goal isn’t just to release music, but to build an artistic universe where sound, visuals and storytelling all speak the same language. The visual identity I create for Luzcøz is deeply connected to TetraVain, my independent record label, which I hope will become a platform for releasing and supporting other emerging artists in the near future. Over the past ten years, I’ve also discovered that I genuinely enjoy mentoring other musicians. Helping artists refine their vision and navigate their creative path is something I hope will become an important part of TetraVain’s identity alongside my own releases. I also value direct connections with listeners. Platforms like SoundCloud and Instagram allow me to have genuine conversations with people who discover my music, and that kind of relationship means far more to me than simply chasing numbers. For anyone discovering Luzcøz for the first time, UNAPØLØGETIC is the best place to begin. It’s an album born from pain, paranoia and emotional loss—not to glorify those feelings, but to confront them, accept them and eventually heal from them. To me, the album became almost an apotropaic ritual—a symbolic act of freeing myself from the past. Looking back, I now see it as the closing chapter of one part of my life rather than the beginning of the next. That, however, is only the beginning. My upcoming music moves toward a freer, more minimalist electronic sound, driven by experimentation and sonic exploration. The emotions remain honest, but they’re no longer weighed down by survival—they’re opening the door to curiosity, movement and new possibilities. If UNAPØLØGETIC was about learning to let go, the next chapter is about discovering what comes after.
Q: Who is the most inspiring artist for you right now? And where do you find inspiration for making music?
Right now, I’m inspired by artists like Arca, Gold Panda, General Elektriks, Tricky, Mindchatter, Mezerg, Dan Deacon and many others. I listen to almost every genre, and what fascinates me most is hearing completely different musical languages collide and unexpectedly create something new.
My creative process has also changed over time. The songs on UNAPØLØGETIC were born from emotional introspection: I usually started with lyrics, then translated those emotions into sound.
Today, inspiration often comes from something much smaller. Sometimes it’s just a tiny sonic detail —a synth texture, a distorted vocal, an unusual rhythm or a strange effect—that completely captures my attention. I can listen to the same few seconds over and over for hours or even days. Eventually, I stop thinking about that sound as a listener and start reinterpreting it as a producer. That single detail becomes the seed from which an entire composition grows, often without needing lyrics at all. Lately, I’ve become increasingly fascinated by letting sound itself tell the story.
Q: Can you tell us about the story or message behind the song, “ENCORE.”?
ENCORE feels like the epilogue to UNAPØLØGETIC. Although it’s only two minutes and twenty- five seconds long, it serves an important purpose. It revisits the emotional landscape of the album one last time while hinting at where my music is heading next. From a production standpoint, it deliberately breaks away from the slowcore and downtempo atmosphere that defines most of the record. The energy becomes more immediate, the rhythm more urgent, opening the door to a more electronic and club-oriented direction. To me, ENCORE is a bridge between two chapters. It closes one cycle while quietly introducing the next, making it less an ending than the first step toward everything that’s still to come.
Q: Did you face any challenges while writing or recording “ENCORE”?
Every track I write goes through several stages. I usually begin by experimenting through trial and error until I discover a combination of sounds, textures and rhythms that feels right. Once that foundation is in place, I gradually build the rest of the song around it. ENCORE marked a turning point in my creative process. For the first time, the music came before the lyrics. Instead of writing words and translating them into sound, I let the atmosphere of the track guide the writing. The lyrics arrived naturally once the emotional direction of the music had already been established. In hindsight, that shift feels symbolic. It reflects the direction my newer work is taking, where sound itself often becomes the starting point of the story.
Q: How would you describe your sound in one word for potential listeners?
This is the response I hope to get from my listeners
Q: What is the message of your music? And what are your goals as an artist?
My music comes from an urgent need to give shape to emotions that are often difficult to express in everyday life. That need is especially evident in my debut album, UNAPØLØGETIC. If someone listens to one of my songs and recognizes a part of themselves in it, then the music has already fulfilled its purpose. Some songs have helped me heal—or at least reminded me that I wasn’t alone. I don’t make music to provide answers. I make music so people feel less alone with their own questions. My goal as an artist isn’t simply to release records, but to keep evolving creatively without losing that emotional honesty. I want every project to explore new sonic territories while remaining genuine. Outside of music, I’m interested in expressing social and political criticism through other artistic forms. Music, for me, is a more intimate space. That’s where I explore my private life, my relationships, my fears and the transformations that shape who I am.
Q: Who is your dream artist to collaborate with? (dead or alive)
Björk
Q: What is your advice for people interested in pursuing music as a career or for those trying to enter the industry?
If music lives inside you, you have to let it out—at all costs, in any way you can. The industry is unpredictable, trends change, algorithms come and go, but the need to create is something much deeper than success or recognition. If you’re making music only because you expect something in return, you’ll probably become frustrated. If you’re making it because you simply can’t imagine not creating, then you’re already on the right path.
Q: If you could go back in time and give a younger you some words of wisdom, what would they be?
