Luca Marchi is a live and studio session bass player from Italy. He attended Music Academy 2000 in Bologna and then he graduated at A. Boito Conservatory in Parma in Electric Bass Guitar (Popular Music Course).
His first important project was with Blastema in 2013, a rock band produced by Nuvole Production, Fabrizio De André's record label directed by Dori Ghezzi and Luvi De André. The band participated at the 63rd edition of the Sanremo Festival, followed by a tour, which allows them to be on stage as opening act for Skunk Anansie’s concerts in Italy.
His career as session musician started in 2015 with X Factor winner Francesca Michielin, sharing with her the stage on several tours and TV appearances. After that, he was selected for the arenas tour of the Italian performer Ghali.
In 2023 he played for the Italian rapper, songwriter and record producer Lazza on his “Ouver-Tour” which started in the arenas (including the Verona Arena) and ended up in Italian and European festivals, like Sziget Festival in Budapest.
Over the years, he also collaborated with artists like Tananai, Giusy Ferreri and Marco Ligabue.
Alongside his tour career, he worked with Fondazione Toscanini in “La Toscanini NEXT”, an orchestral project formed by Under35 musicians selected among emerging musical excellences with evident solo and multi-instrumental qualities.
He’s currently working with Damiano David, Måneskin’s frontman, supporting him on his EU promotional tour for his solo project.
