Born in Newark, New Jersey and at present living in Nutley, NJ for most of his life is the lead singer of the world famous Duprees. First performing with the group in the late 70’s replacing Mike Kelly, returned to the group eight years ago. Today the Duprees are enjoying the best and most successful years in recent memory.

Tommy Produced The Jersey Music and Video Spotlight TV shows (1993 to 1996). He went on to produce, write, host and sell the commercial time of twelve, thirty second commercials in half hour time slots to pay the production cost for over one hundred shows over the next four years. The show would feature a host of local talent, established personalities and bands throughout the vocal group harmony establishment in the tri State area.

As technologically advanced as recording equipment has become, it is still only as good as “the man behind the board”…or computer screen!

Lorenzo Crescibene, Owner and Chief Engineer at Luna Sound, has 30 years of intensive producing/engineering experience behind him. An accomplished drummer, guitarist and keyboardist, he claims versatility as his greatest asset.

“Having produced, performed, and recorded such a variety of music over the years, I find it pretty easy to lock into any style. I’ve worked with a wide range of artists”. Check out our Clients page for a listing.

Luna sound, founded in 1979, has always been one step ahead of the competition. In 1984, Crescibene had already incorporated the Mac SE, which he now considers primitive, into his recording process. Through sequencing and the use of SMPTE, Crescibene blazed new trails in the recording industry. Racing into 2000’s, once again, Luna Sound is setting new standards in recording quality.
