Twenty years on stage, a Conservatory of Amsterdam training, and one job every night: lift the room and keep it there.
A DJ set is the foundation. Live trumpet and saxophone on top of it is what turns a good party into a night people talk about. High energy, an optimistic vibe, and dance moves that pull people onto the floor and keep them there.
Weddings, private parties, corporate events. The job is always the same: read the room, connect fast, and make sure everyone feels part of it, not just the regulars on the dance floor. An international background and six languages make that happen naturally, wherever your guests are from.
When a band needs a horn player who walks in ready. I read the chart, learn the set, and arrive knowing the music. No rehearsals spent catching up.
Trumpet and saxophone across jazz, funk, Latino, pop, hip-hop and live electronic, with brass arrangements written on request if the parts do not exist yet. And I do not stand still: I perform, because a horn section that moves changes what the whole stage feels like.
Luca Simonelli was born in Luxembourg, half Belgian and half Italian, and trained at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, a foundation that shows in both the technical precision and the range across jazz, funk, pop, and electronic sounds. He now lives on the Canary Islands, where an international clientele and a steady stream of destination weddings and private events keep him close to the kind of audience this act is built for.
Over the years he has performed live trumpet and saxophone alongside many DJs and bands at festivals and venues including Fantasia Festival (Belgium), Botanique Antwerp (Belgium), and the Theatre of Venice (Italy), as well as private weddings and events across Europe: Athens (Greece), Marbella (Spain), and Monopoli (Italy) among them.
