Lucien Nicolet (born 24 February 1978 in Montcherand, Switzerland), known mononymously as Luciano, is a Swiss and Chilean DJ and producer. He is a five-time DJ Awards winner and ten-time nominee. He helped promote the underground electronic music scene in Chile. His DJ sets are strongly influenced by Latin American music. Luciano's initial style of minimal techno has evolved into a blend of house and techno.
Luciano was born in Montcherand, Switzerland to a Swiss father and Chilean mother. His father was a jukebox repairman with a large record collection that was played at home. While part of his childhood was spent in Switzerland, musically it would not be as influential as the Chilean and Latin American sounds he would experience upon moving to Santiago, Chile at the age of eleven. His mother along with his sister relocated there after his parents' divorce.
When he was twelve years old, his mother bought him a guitar, which was when Luciano's involvement with music began. He was the guitar player in a punk rock band at school until the age of sixteen. Not long after, he learned that electronic instruments such as sequencers and drum machines were replacing analog ones. After finding a French band called Bérurier Noir that used drum machines in place of a drum set, his passion and interest in electronic music commenced.
Luciano and his wife have 3 sons and a daughter. In 2007, Luciano moved from Berlin to a Swiss village near Geneva to spend more time with them. Luciano enjoys gardening, nature and being surrounded by it.
At the beginning of his career, his handlebar moustache was his signature image. In recent years, he has sported a hot pink streak in his hair.
