Brooklyn-based guitarist and producer Luca Benedetti has been performing in a wide variety of Roots, Jazz, Country, and Americana-inspired projects since moving to New York in 1996. His most recent collaborations include performances, production and recordings with Jim Campilongo, Martha Redbone, Speeding West, Honeyfingers, Tubby, The Brooklyn Boogaloo Blowout, Erik Deutsch, Jon Cowherd, Zephaniah & The 18 Wheelers, The Dang-it Bobbys, Jason Loughlin & The String Gliders, Kelli Scarr & North of Amarillo, The National Reserve, and Margo Valiante.

  As an original member of Honeyfingers, Luca co-produced and performed on the Jim Campilongo and Honeyfingers album "Last Night, This Morning" hailed by Vintage Guitar as "a brilliant record with magic and artistry" and by Guitar Player Magazine as "....a hoedown throwdown that looks to be one of the top guitar records of the year".
​
  Along with Campilongo Luca also co-produced and performed on the highly praised release, "This Highway" by rising country star Zephaniah O'Hora.  The album was hailed as "...classic country mastery” by Saving Country Music and "“Classic country perfection” by Wide open country.

  His 2010 debut record "Ta Da...", was recorded with his own Jazz & Roots inspired group,﻿ ﻿﻿Luca Benedetti's Thermionics, which Relix magazine called "...a knock-out collection of instrumentals that will warrant repeated listens."

  Shortly after moving to NY, Luca became a founding member of the hard-edged Jazz/Funk group, ULU. After his tenure with ULU, Luca continued touring and recording in the U.S., Europe, and Japan with numerous artists including Cuban Surf Rockers, The Cuban Cowboys, Soul/R&B artists, Cooly's Hot Box, Angela Johnson and Alt-Bluegrass/Folk group, The Dang-it Bobbys.

  From 2014-2016 Luca lived in Vancouver, BC where he co-founded with Speeding West with local guitar/pedal-steel ace, Scott Smith.  The group developed a loyal following and released their self-titled album in 2017.

  Luca holds a Bachelor's Degree from The Berklee College of Music and a Master's Degree from The City College of New York. While attending the latter, Luca studied with Jazz legend, Ron Carter, who quickly became a mentor and friend. On several occasions Mr. Carter invited Luca to perform, including a memorable trio performance for the ASCAP Hall of Fame ceremony honoring Milt Hinton and Artie Shaw.

  Luca's session work has been featured on advertisements by McDonald's, Subway, Rolex, Arby's, The Cotton Industry, Axe, AT&T and many more. He also scored the music for The Cuban Cowboys inspired soundtrack for KPI TV's “Lucha Libre: Life Behind The Mask."
​
  An active music instructor, Luca has taught privately as well as at The City College of New York, The Long Island Conservatory & Larchmont Music Academy.

  Luca was born in Rome, Italy but spent the majority of his youth living abroad with his family, which exposed him to numerous musical cultures across Africa, South America, Europe and Asia.

Dedi Tree has had a strong influence on music since the age of 18. He started as an A&R for J Flow out of Reading,PA for about 5 years. Now after years of seeing the ins and out of this industry he has decided to go harder than ever. Dedi's musical influence has an old and new school flow. With a soft but demanding voice Dedi Trees's music takes the street life to another level. He gives a look inside both the good and the bad of life's everyday struggle. Walk with him as he gives both male and female life lessons as well as his own faults in life. He has the chance to be the future of Hip Hop. Just Listen! Watch! and Learn!
