Based in: Italy
Hire: Andrea Bocelli
Andrea Bocelli (born 22 September 1958) is an Italian tenor. He was born visually impaired, with congenital glaucoma, and at the age of 12, Bocelli became completely blind, following a brain hemorrhage resulting from a football accident. After performing evenings in piano bars and competing in local singing contests, Bocelli signed his first recording contract with the Sugar Music label. He rose to fame in 1994, winning the newcomers’ section of the 44th Sanremo Music Festival, performing “Il mare calmo della sera”.
Andrea Bocelli is a widely popular singer with a substantial fan base worldwide. Italian spinto tenor Franco Corelli praised Bocelli’s voice after hearing it for the first time during a master class in 1986, in Turin, and he later gave Bocelli private lessons.

Puerto Rican soprano, Ana María Martínez, who regularly performs with Andrea Bocelli, said, “More than anything, Andrea has something that is unique in that he brings this light that is always around him. And this purity of heart and beauty of sound just touch the listener. It can’t be described.”
Celine Dion said, while introducing him during her Christmas Special for These Are Special Times, in 1998, that “if God would have a singing voice, he must sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli,” and David Foster, a producer of the album, often describes Bocelli’s voice as the most beautiful in the world.

Since winning the Newcomers section of the Sanremo Music Festival, in 1994, he has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide, making him one of the biggest-selling singers in the history of Classical music.
In 1998, he was named one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People. In 1999, his nomination for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards marked the first time a classical artist had been nominated in the category, since Leontyne Price, in 1961. “The Prayer”, his duet with Celine Dion for the animated film, The Quest for Camelot, won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song and was nominated for an Academy Award in the same category. With the release of his classical album, Sacred Arias, Andrea Bocelli captured a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records, as he simultaneously held the No. 1, 2 and 3 positions on the U.S. Classical albums charts.
The next three-and-a-half years followed with Bocelli holding permanent residency at the No. 1 spot. Six of his albums have since reached the Top 10 on the Billboard 200, and a record-setting 8, have topped the classical albums charts in the United States.
