Ciro de Luca was born in Napoli, in 1970, from an Italian father and a Romanian mother. His relation to Romania has been built all along his childhood, being educated both by his parents and by his grandparents (his mother’s parents). As a teenager, enchanted by the artistic life, he collaborated with a television station in Napoli for an entertainment program called If everything goes well, we are ruined. At 18 years old, he entered the Carabineers Academy and after graduating, he served as an officer for 11 years. All this time, he didn't give up his passion for music and performance, collaborating with many artists from the musical and theatre world. While participating to different shows, he was noticed by Enzo Mastroianni, cousin of the famous Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni, who helped him to become more and more famous. Fond of poetry, he wrote verses and lyrics for many artists. In 1999, he decided to dedicate to his own artistic career, giving up his job as a carabineer. With the help of Jean Cheptea, composer, he participated to the Light Music Festival from Amara, followed by a tour at the seaside. There, he met the actor Alexandru Arşinel, who offered him a partnership with the revue theatre Constantin Tănase. In 2003, he participated in the Festival di Napoli, getting into the semifinals, and a year after that, in 2004, he signed his first contract with a production house, which released his first album on the market, called Sole, cielo e mare, appreciated by the public. A range of countless tours around the country followed and he participated in well-known festivals such as Crizantema de Aur, from Târgovişte, where Ciro entertained the public with Napoletan canzonets, performed together with the Big Band of Romanian Radio Corporation, conducted by Dan Ardelean. In 2005, he released his second album on the market, entitled Amore e Gelosia, including the song Danceamore, promoted with a video clip on music channels. The year 2006 brought his third album to his fans, entitled Una Nota di Passion, where he published a remake of the video clip of Danceamore, a song that, meanwhile, registered a huge success. In 2006, Ciro signed a contract with the international house of records LIVEMUSICEDIZIONI, a production house also collaborating with Nino D'Angelo. The contract brought him an immediate release of the maxi-single Danceamore. This event has been the highest professional accomplishment for Ciro and for this he deeply appreciates the people who have supported him: Domenico Albanese (producer and manager) and Nino D'Angelo. He is a member of the Romanian band Todomondo.
