Life and career

Born in Penne, Pescara, Locasciulli is the son of a vet who in his spare time used to perform as a crooner with the stage name Guido Lucas.[1]

In 1965 he formed a band with whom he performed in the music halls of the Adriatic coast.[1] In 1968 he moved to Perugia to study medicine, and there he started performing in the piano bars of the city.[1] In 1971 he relocated to the Sapienza University of Rome, and after performing in a number of nightclubs of the city he eventually established himself as a regular performer in the club Folkstudio.[1]

Locasciulli made his discographic debut in 1975, and after a couple of commercial disappointments he got his first success in 1982, with the album Intorno a trent'anni, produced by Francesco De Gregori.[1][2] In 1985 he entered the competition at the Sanremo Music Festival, ranking nineteenth with the song "Buona fortuna".[1][3] Between 1985 and 1987 he toured with Enrico Ruggeri, then in 1988 Locasciulli started an acclaimed collaboration with the jazz bassist Greg Cohen.[2]

Starting from the 1990s, following the critically acclaimed album Tango dietro l'angolo, he mainly focused on his activity as a producer and on in his day job as a primary care physician.[2]
