“Listen to what others tell you about your voice. If you're only singing to please yourself, you might as well just sing under the shower. But if you're singing for others, you are reliant on them to ask you to sing.”

Italian tenor

Andrea Bocelli is an Italian tenor who rose to fame in 1994. He is known for winning the newcomers' section of the 44th Sanremo Music Festival with his performance of "Il mare calmo della sera". That breakthrough brought him wide attention and established him as a major voice in popular classical and crossover music. His public image is tied to his singing voice and the song that first brought him to prominence.
