Hugo De Luca is an emerging French multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer. Starting off as a guitarist, De Luca later learned to play bass and to produce music. And by 2017, he started composing and producing his own original material, material that found him meshing several different genres — in particular electronica, jazz, hip-hop and ambient electronica (all of which have influenced him and his work) while focusing on creating moods and telling stories.
The emerging French multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer has collaborated in a number of projects across a variety of different genres, including rock, funk, jazz, reggae and soul: in 2018, he was featured on Oxmo Puccino’s “Un rien.” Last year, De Luca released his debut EP Unexpected Ending.
De Luca begins 2020 with “Yelsi Hill,” a sultry instrumental jam indebted to Quiet Storm-like soul and smooth jazz and centered around shimmering, bluesy guitar work and shuffling beats. “The aim was to create a relaxed atmosphere with a bit of a sexy vibe,” De Luca explains. “The title is a reference to a band I like, The Isley Brothers for their famous ‘Between the Sheets.'”
