The Man behind Eurosmith and LaceBlack…
Italian musician, Luca Celletti, writes on Eurosmith Facebook: “I would never have imagined our headway could be so unpredictable, but if I look inside of me, going back in time, the image of an answer I got so timely, so unexpected and determined, and yet unknowing, still amuses me…As if everything had been already expected and determined, it’s a journey that won’t stop when facing the inevitable obstacles that reality places when it becomes a dream, and this dream turns real.. Still today, even more…Luca”
