Pronto.īorn in Lajatico, Italy in 1958 Andrea was something of a prodigy who became adept at playing many instruments and mimicking the great aria singers of the era long before he left school. If the man’s repertoire of tenor tunes has passed you by to this date then it’s time to discover him. If you’re familiar with albums like the breakthrough Romanza, the best-selling Italian album of all time (20 million copies worldwide and rising) or the equally astonishing Sogno and the ever-lovely Cieli di Toscana you’ll no doubt be smitten with this maestro already. Andrew Bocelli: a byword for modern operatic brilliance. He also has a star on the Hollywood Hall of Fame and has the distinction of delivering seven Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 while fingering a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for simultaneously holding the top three places on the Classical Crossover charts in the US. His singles are as popular as his albums and he tends to weigh his royalties rather than count them and since most of his discs sell by the million he’s a busy man on that front.

Often Grammy-nominated Andrea has released chart-topping albums in Europe and America and in his native land is feted as a cultural icon, a Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic no less – who can turn his hand with élan to anything from Latin pop and easy listening to singer-songwriter craft and musicianship that allows him to play the piano, flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar and drums.īocelli has done duet duty with the very best, our own Sarah Brightman and the French Canadian Celine Dion for starters. A record-breaker and a heart breaker too, Bocelli has never let the blindness he endured as a youngster blight his career or his ambition. The great Italian operatic tenor and master of light opera and crossover classical pop Andrea Bocelli is a much-decorated artist with a string of multi-platinum albums befitting his talent and reputation.
