An Italian vocalist who studied under Riccardo Muti and broke through at Sanremo.
For a good sense of his style, try "Beijinho de Cereja" from Sanremo and the later track "Fim de Jogo." They show the range without losing that vocal focus.
He's one of those singers who bridges classical training and popular festival stages. His performance of "Beijinho de Cereja" at the 2010 Sanremo Music Festival is what first got him wider attention. You can hear that same careful phrasing in songs like "Chora Me Liga", it's not opera, but it's not casual pop either.
After being selected by conductor Riccardo Muti in 2007, he studied at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome. His debut album "Romantico" arrived in 2013, and he's since performed at places like Teatro alla Scala and the Sydney Opera House. He works with a rotating group of musicians rather than a fixed band.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
