Biography
editLucianoz was born in Rinkeby, an immigrant-majority district of Stockholm, in 1993.[1] From childhood, he was influenced by his parents who often listened to dansband artists such as Stefan Borsch and Flamingokvintetten.[2] He first attempted to begin his music career as a rhythm and blues artist, and auditioned in this style with limited success on Swedish Idol.[3]
In October 2022, Lucianoz amassed a large following on TikTok after a video his sister recorded of him singing Stefan Borshs's "Det är ju dej jag går och väntar på" went viral and quickly received hundreds of thousands of views.[2] This led to Lucianoz releasing a full cover of the song on Spotify, securing his first record deal, and making several appearances on Swedish television.[4][5] Within months, he was invited to Melodifestivalen, Sweden's preselection competition for the Eurovision Song Contest, to perform a tribute to Pernilla Wahlgren with a dansband cover of "Piccadilly Circus".[6] It was Lucianoz's first time performing in-person before a large public audience.[6]
In the spring of 2023, Lucianoz went on tour in Sweden. During the summer, he performed on Allsång på Skansen[7] as well as at the Victoria Days celebration on Öland.[8] In June 2023, Swedish television channel TV4 announced the production of a documentary series about Lucianoz, set to be released in the fall of 2023.[9]
