Andrea Bocelli is an internationally acclaimed Italian tenor known for his exceptional voice and ability to bridge classical and popular music. Despite being born with congenital glaucoma and losing his sight completely at the age of twelve following a football accident, he pursued music with passion and determination. He began piano lessons at six and eventually learned multiple instruments, including the flute, saxophone, and guitar, among others.
Initially studying law at the University of Pisa, Bocelli supported himself by performing in piano bars. His breakthrough came when his demo of “Miserere” caught the attention of both Zucchero Fornaciari and Luciano Pavarotti. This led to collaborations and a successful tour with Zucchero, foll Andrea Bocelli is an internationally acclaimed Italian tenor known for his exceptional voice and ability to bridge classical and popular music.

Quotes by Andrea Bocelli (?)

“Music touches the soul, it stirs passion, it moves us and can make us better people. It’s no coincidence that 2000 years ago a famous Roman politician, Cato the Younger, warned that soldiers shouldn’t listen to music because it would make them unfit to wage war!”
― Andrea Bocelli
