Dal 1995, anno di uscita del disco “Where There Is Life”, Luciano è considerato uno dei più famosi artisti reggae.
“The Messenjah”, così è soprannominato, canta della sua forte relazione con Jah (è noto per la sua fortissima fede rasta), con la natura e sull'elevazione sociale degli oppressi. Sempre, dall'inizio della sua carriera, Luciano è sato fedele a questi principi, e quindi non segue nessuna mira temporanea di entrare nelle classifiche musicali.

Luciano conserva inoltre la volontà di diffondere il messaggio positivo insito nel suo soprannome “The Messenjah”.
A questo proposito, Luciano afferma: "Io canto reggae, gospel e roots. Posso cantare perfino il rock, ma sempre portando il mio messaggio chiaro, spirituale e culturale. Non ci sono barriere nella musica. Nonostante io sia conosciuto come un cantante della cultura reggae, ho un messaggio internazionale. Così io non lo trasmetto soltanto al popolo reggae, ma lo estendo a persone di ogni ceto sociale”.


With the release of his landmark CD "Where There Is Life" in 1995, Luciano emerged as one of the most important reggae singers in decades and the greatest hope for roots reggae's survival in the digital dancehall era. Since that much acclaimed release, Luciano's music has been consistently praised for imparting sentiments of spiritual salvation, edification and humanitarian upliftment.

In these troubled times, Luciano's engaging baritone voice resonates like a divinely ordained instrument possessing the power to comfort souls from all walks of life. While many of his so called "conscious" contemporaries have faltered by recording songs that glorify wanton sex and random violence as a means of topping the charts, Luciano has held steadfast to enriching principles; these positive lyrical themes have justifiably earned him the title of The Messenger. However, the humble singer also refers to himself as the child of a king which was the title of his penultimate CD for VP Records.

"We are all children of the Most High God and as a Rasta man, I acknowledge that I am a child of Emperor Haile Selassie I because all of his teachings are in my songs," he explains. "I am a child of a king and I just want my family and my fans to receive the blessings that God has given through me as a messenger and an instrument of peace."

Luciano estimates to have made at least 40 albums; the prolific artist releases three (full length) CDs per year. "I have so much music and messages, that I cannot be holding it inside of me," he declares. "From a management point of view, they would like to see me cooling out for a while but if a bird doesn't sing, tell me if that bird is happy?"
