Luca Scriva was born on October 27,1972 in Valecrosia, Italy just a few kilometres from the french border. Starts harmonica in '92 and makes his bones jamming here and there and then studies with a private teacher in London in '94.

Upon his return to Italy, discovers that he is drawn to the concert flute, no doubt as a result of being an avid Jethro Tull fan. Studies in San Remo with prominent jazz flutist Livio Zanellato. Joins friends onstage for occasional jams and becomes the sixth member of the italian progressive rock band, "Running Birds"in '96.

Well known in the french riviera and northern Italy,they quickly become one of the top bands of the riviera with over 250 shows a year in France, Italy, Germany, Hollande, and the Czech Republic. They also released two self produced cds, "Running Birds" and "First Phase.

Luca leaves the band in 2001 to concentrate on writing. Has played on different recording and live projects such as AUREO with Jörg Weyer, French band 222 and now ZEN.

He speaks Italian, French, English and large notions of Spanish and Portuguese.
