My Name Is Luca is the debut studio album by Swiss recording artist Luca Hänni, the winner of the ninth season of Deutschland Sucht Den Superstar, the German version of American Idol. It was released by Universal Music on 18 May 2012 in German-speaking Europe. Entirely produced by DSDS judge Dieter Bohlen, the album contains two cover versions which were already performed by Hänni during the DSDS shows, including "The A Team" by Ed Sheeran and "Baby" by Justin Bieber.
Critical reception
Writing for laut.de, Dani Fromm wrote that My Name Is Luca was a hastily assembled DSDS compilation lacking any distinct artistic profile, stating: "No edges, no corners, no vocal volume. Nothing!" She emphasized its immediate forgettability and criticized Dieter Bohlen's formulaic production and clichéd lyrics, concluding: "No charisma, no unique selling point. Nothing!"

It reached number one in both Austria and Switzerland, while peaking at number two on the German Albums Chart. In year-end rankings, it placed at number 37 in Austria, number 69 in Germany, and number 26 in Switzerland.
