After a 16-year hiatus from music, Joseph Lu rediscovered his passion when he found a piano keyboard hidden in a drawer at the age of 46, reigniting his dreams and creativity. Born in 1975 in a small Sicilian town, Lu attributes his inspiration to his family and the scenic surroundings of his seaside home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Please provide us with a brief bio of yourself and your background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After finishing my piano studies in 2006, I disappeared from the world of music for 16 years. For some reason, something changed in my life which made me sell everything related to the piano and the music but I am convinced that she has never left me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the age of 46, I discover that I still have a piano keyboard hidden in a drawer. The gentle touch of the piano keys was overlapped on a sweet music that I had not listened to for a long time. My dreams, thus, took shape again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a short time I could create what I had not composed in 16 years. The music entered me and I am ready to let the world listen to it. I was born in 1975 in a small town of Sicily, where I still live now and I have lived my life surrounded by the sea, music and my family. Special people to whom I owe everything because from their support I take inspiration to create my pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. Congratulations! As the winner of the LIT Music Awards, what does receiving recognition at this level mean to you and your career trajectory?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receiving a win in the LIT Music Awards represents for me an important goal and an incentive to continue this wonderful dream of mine. I’m truly honored to have participated in such a prestigious award that enhances music and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. What do you believe distinguishes your music or your work as a musician?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My music is born from dreams, dreams that come from our soul connected to the universe, transforming everything it wants to communicate to us into melody which makes it all the more special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. Were there any challenges that you faced when submitting your current winning entry? help you in your result and\/or performance?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation of the songs, I paused and asked myself several times why I was sending Night In the Sky and Ocean, 2 songs that talk about an inner journey between man and the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ocean represents the soul, and the sky, the universe. After reflecting, all doubts vanished and the certainties remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5.<\/strong> Who are some of your biggest influences, and how have they shaped your talents?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I try to maintain musical isolation, by choice. However, during my musical studies I loved playing only one composer, F.CHOPIN. In some of my compositions this influence is more evident and it is expressed in a natural way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Night in the Sky is a journey, the search for our origin, the search for ourselves, amazed by the wonder \u2026 (Read more at LIT Music Awards.<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
