Luca Severino - The Sound Architect

Luca Severino is an Italian composer and pianist whose journey through music is as eclectic as it is inspiring. With a solid foundation in jazz and a fascination with harmony, Luca’s career took off in 2009 when he began releasing tracks with some of the most respected labels in the global club scene, including Defected and Snatch!. His talent behind the decks took him on DJ tours from Europe to Boston, where he captivated audiences with his unique sound.

In 2015, Luca transitioned from the club scene to composing for visual media, bringing his deep understanding of music to the worlds of film, television, and advertising. His ability to craft music that perfectly complements visuals has made him a sought-after composer for web ad campaigns for brands like Aperol Campari, Armani EA7, Jeep, and North Face. Whether scoring a commercial, creating the opening theme for a film festival, or collaborating with top music libraries, Luca’s work has resonated on major European networks like Vox.de and RTL.de showcasing his ability to blend harmonic complexity with innovative sound design.

What sets Luca apart is not just his musical versatility but his unquenchable curiosity. He’s a self-proclaimed tech nerd who’s always on the hunt for the next big thing in music technology. Whether daydreaming about a new synth or plugin, Luca is constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in music. His influences are as diverse as his work—rooted in the classics, but with a modern twist on electronic music, always inspired by the "Jazzmaster Cookbook," his creative bible.

Luca’s music has reached audiences far and wide, including a feature in Netflix’s “Emily in Paris” and projects with Rai Play, Rai Cinema, and other high-profile brands. His recent film scores, including those for “De Occulta Imagine” by Stefano P. Testa and “René Va Alla Guerra” by Ferri, Menegazzo, Pernisa awarded with VENICE SHORT FILM NOMINATION FOR THE EUROPEAN FILM AWARDS 2024 at the 81st Venice Biennale.

When he’s not composing, Luca is likely immersing himself in studying philosophy, particularly ethics and neuroscience, or exploring the latest in music tech. His relentless pursuit of musical and technological innovation continues to make him a driving force in the industry, always seeking new ways to connect with listeners and share his vision.
