We had the good fortune of connecting with Luca Dayz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Luca, how do you think about risk?
I believe risk taking is paramount when it comes down to business. No risk no reward. Over the years I believe this has played an important role in my success. Many people are scared to take risks. People expect everything to come easy. They want to be in their comfort zone. Unfortunately success don’t come that easy.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

I do many things. Bentley Records is where I got started with my business career. We’ve been very successful as an independent label. We’ve made releases with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy, Sean Kingston etc, and also with international sensations such as the likes of Ukrainian superstar Tina Karol.

We recently launched an invite only Artist Development Platform called bentleyrecords.io – which is revolutionary! We have some crazy music tech stuff in there. Pretty mind blowing one could say.

My other major venture is LuxoAir. We charter private jets around the world. And specialize in empty leg chartering.

All our brands come under the umbrella of Luxo Group International. We have offices in the US, UK, Middle East & Asia. And a workforce of around 40 people. This is what I’m most proud of.

Apart from that we engage in many charitable causes through our foundation, The Luxo Group HOPE Foundation.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
So I live between NYC and Dubai right now. NYC, I mean there’s plenty stuff to do. I’d definitely recommend people to go check out Manhatta, by Wall Street. That’s one of my favorite restaurants with a magnificent view! If you’re into French cuisine, then Lucien in East Village is top! Harlem’s got tons of cool hang out spots to check out. If you’re a cigar lover like myself, then SoHo Cigar Bar is probably where I’ll spend the evening.

As for Dubai, once again the choices are plenty! Spending the weekend in a nice yacht would be nice. I’d recommend the Aljariri Yacht for that.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

It’s difficult to give a shout out to a single person, when it comes to me. Lot of people have supported my career over the years. I’ll start off with Grammy winning producer Troy Taylor, who inspired me to work in music. Hayo Stahl, who owns Interface Studios in Cologne, Germany really supported my music career as well. My co-founder of Bentley Records, Troy Beelen, has always supported my vision and been with me forever. Other than that my team stands firmly next to me to make the magic happen. And the fans of course. I send my love and appreciation to each and everyone who’s supported my career over the years. Even in small ways.
