Mr. DeLuca is a lifelong New Jerseyan who has been a professional musician since 1977. In 1989 he placed first in the annual ASCAP New Songwriters Competition. After several stints playing guitar and bass and singing in several rock and punk groups throughout New Jersey and New York, he became a jazz/pop singer in his own right. In addition to this patriotic songbook, Mr. DeLuca has several tribute shows that he performs throughout the area.
