If you have watched the films Love Actually, Mamma Mia!, and its sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again!, you will recognize Colin Firth. He is a well-established award-winning English actor who captured the attention of many with his role in the TV series Pride and Prejudice. And now his son, Luca Firth, is making an attempt to do the same, but with his musical talent.
The young man is an aspiring indie folk singer, songwriter, musician, and artist. Despite having started his music venture, not much has been revealed regarding Colin Firth's son. Hence, we will be learning more about Luca Firth's personal life and career through this biography of his.
Parents Are Divorced
The aspiring singer was born on March 29, 2001, in Rome, Italy, to the renowned actor and his former wife, Livia Giuggioli. The latter is an Italian film producer known for her work in Amá, The True Cost, and In Prison My Whole Life. Luca Firth's parents met in Colombia, where both of them were working on the mini-series Nostromo. They married in 1997 and later moved to the region of Umbria in Italy, where they welcomed Luca and another baby boy, Matteo Firth.
Luca's little sibling, Matteo, was born in August 2003 and is about two years younger than him. The Firth brothers grew up in London as the family divided their time between Wandsworth, in London, and Umbria, Italy. Sadly, Luca Firth's mother and father are no longer together. After being together for about 22 years, Colin and Livia divorced in 2019.
Furthermore, the Rome native has a half-brother, William Joseph Firth, born to Colin and his one-time partner, the well-known actress Meg Tilly. William, also known as Will Firth, born in 1990, is older than Luca and Matteo by over a decade. Despite the huge age differences, the siblings are close to one another.

Talking about Colin Firth's education, unfortunately, it is unknown which high school he went to. As for his higher education, he studies at the University of Exeter, a public college in Exeter, England.
What Is Luca Firth Mostly Known For?
The English-Italian artist started recording and releasing music in 2021. While it might be easy to become a musician, it isn't as easy to establish a name for oneself in the music industry. However, it is not completely impossible for aspiring singers to achieve stardom. Since Luca appears to be an ambitious person with a unique voice and a lot of musical talent, he could soon be a famous musician.
For now, Luca is more known to the public as Colin Firth's son. Meanwhile, the Oscar-winning actor came into prominence with his portrayal of Mark Darcy, aka Mr. Darcy, in the 1995 TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Since then, Luca Firth's father has played more prominent roles in numerous hit projects, including Shakespeare in Love, Mamma Mia!, Mary Poppins Returns, The King's Speech, and 1917.
The superstar has also earned the title of CBE and has won multiple awards. Hopefully, Luca Firth will also become a household name soon in the upcoming days, just like his dad.
Started Recording During The Lockdown
As already mentioned above, Luca started his musical journey in 2021. Being inspired by other artists like Justin Vernon, Phil Elverum, and Sharon Van Etten, he began a DIY approach to recording his own brand of indie folk music during the lockdown. When the pandemic hit, he was in Italy, living in his grandparents' garage and working on a farm. He was encouraged to start recording when he realized he was surrounded by nature while the whole world was standing still.
After a few months, Luca began attending the University of Exeter, where he was mostly confined to halls. There, he started rearranging, recording, and mixing the songs he had written, using just a laptop, a microphone, and a few guitars, often making use of furniture as makeshift instruments to gather up percussive soundscapes.
The 2001-born musician is now signed to the Bad Influence Records label and released his debut album titled A Year Of Grace on November 26, 2021. The album includes his previous singles Searching, Dancers, and Wings, for which he has shared music videos on his YouTube channel.
Now, let's take a look at the tracklist of A Year Of Grace below:
- The Lake, The Moon, and You
- Searching
- 74-76
- Sleeping Song
- Sailing Song (Interlude)
- Dancers
- Wings
- Watching Trains
It hasn't been very long since Luca started his career in the music industry. Hence, it will take a while for the young aspiring singer to reach the level of his old man, Colin Firth's fame and fortune worth $25 million. Nonetheless, he frequently performs at music festivals and even performed at the Isle of Wight Festival, a famous music festival that takes place every year in Newport, England.
Livia Giuggioli's son's other gigs include concerts at the Roadtrip & The Workshop, Stag's Head Hoxton, and Amersham Arms. He must have received a considerable sum for his performances at these places. Also, a musician's earnings is $22,752.89 (£19,365) on average in the UK. At this rate, Luca Firth's net worth will hopefully match that of his dad in the near future.
Is Luca Firth Dating Anyone?
Unfortunately, it is difficult to say if Colin Firth's son is currently in a relationship or not. Luca appears to be a private person who prefers to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible. Due to this reason, he has not revealed his love life and past romances. Furthermore, there is no mention of Luca Firth's girlfriend on his social media handles. Instead, he seems to like promoting his music on those platforms.

Perhaps the handsome guy wants to focus on his career rather than dating. Still, we hope he will someday open up about his love life and relationships. Nonetheless, he appears to be leading a great life with his loved ones. Hopefully, Luca Firth will have his breakthrough soon in the coming days. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
