Andrea Bocelli is an Italian opera tenor and a multi-instrumentalist who began his career in 1982 and is now one of the most famous and successful classical music artists of all time.

Who Is Is Andrea Bocelli?
Andrea Angel Bocelli was born on September 22nd, 1958, in the small village of La Stera in Tuscany. This September, he turned 60 years old.
Despite always having problems with his eyes and being diagnosed with glaucoma early on, tragically, Andrea lost his sight after a football accident when he was just 12.
Bocelli’s luck changed when a demo tape of him singing found its way into the hands of Luciano Pavarotti, via the Italian rock star Zucchero. Bocelli was invited on tour with Zucchero, where the two performed the song ‘Miserere’ together. Pavarotti remained supportive of Bocelli in the early days of his career, inviting him to perform at his annual charity gala concert in Modena, ‘Pavarotti International’.
Despite the setback with his sight, the young Andrea showed huge potential as a singer, winning his first competition aged just 14 with a rendition of ‘O Sole Mio’. However, it didn’t seem that music was quite the right career choice for Bocelli – he went to the University of Pisa to study law, but kept singing in bars for extra money.
