Luca Dirisio

Luca Dirisio is an Arjastan singer who will represent Arjastan in Nation Song Contest 22. Luca was born & raised in the state of Azhulia, in eastern Arjastan, in the small village of Štanohjär. He began life as a mechanic before a group of friends encouraged him to take part in a local singing competition, in which he placed 4th out of 16 finalists. After this, Luca discovered that he had a taste for singing and music, and began to sing all over Arjastan on the amateur circuit. After a while, Luca was noticed by a talent scout and signed to AHS records, one of the bigger music labels in Arjastan. His debut single, "Per Sempre" reached #26 in the Arjan singles charts despite receiving very little commercial promotion, and was seen as something of a breakthrough success for him. The followup single "Sparirò" went in at #39, followed by "Il Mio Amico Vende Il Te" which reached #52. His debut album, "Luca", soon followed, and despite receiving quite some critical acclaim failed to reach the Top 75 albums chart, crashing out at #84 before dropping off the radar altogether. In the aftermath of the Angel City debacle after NSC21, ATV were at a loss to find established Arjan artists willing to take part in the competition, so turned to record companies to nominate one of their failing clients they wished to promote more - and AHS put forward Luca. Despite not being rated very highly by bookmakers prior to the national final, Luca won by a huge margin, both amongst the Arjan population and with the international juries as well. Due to his win, he will sing "Calma E Sangue Freddo" in Jastistia in one of the semi finals of NSC22, hoping to reach the final.
