He is the founder of LED Records, Vibration (alongside Gino Caria), Energy Revolution (alongside Davide Di Marcantonio) and Eurobeat Masters (Also with Di Marcantonio).
He has a brother, who's name is unknown, who sang under the aliases of Jimmy Bravo and Jackie 'O in 1997-1998 and 2007. However, it is possible that it was Luigi himself who sang under those aliases since he made the vocals for some songs at Coverland.
