Friends Of The Mercer: Luigi.

If you ever asked us why The Mercer started, you probably know about Luigi, and how one DJ set at Fête de la Musique in Paris ignited a whole thought process for us. It’s not the first time we’ve spoken to Luigi on The Mercer, and though we always focused on music, this time we decided to dive deeper and talk more than just 16 bars… Read more about latest projects and a very important piece of advice, plus more!

Q: What are you currently working on? ] "I'm currently working on feeding my imagination. Giving more than taking and minding the business that pays me." Q: What's one piece of advice you'd give to others? "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." Another one i like to say and never forget is that- "we're more alike than we are different" I think I might have put it in my own words but I Google fact-checked it and found out Maya Angelou puts it a lot sweeter, like only she can." Q: What makes New York so great for you? "My New York always finds a way. It's always told me to keep going and anything is possible for those who believe it." Q: What's something you're looking forward to? "I would say I don't look forward to just one specific thing, but everything all at once."
