Andrea Bocelli

Andrea Bocelli, known as "the fourth tenor," is an internationally acclaimed vocalist in both classical and pop music. Born in Tuscany, he gained recognition in the late 20th century through collaborations with Luciano Pavarotti and Zucchero Fornaciari. Bocelli's diverse musical talents led him to success as an opera and pop ballad singer, recording notable duets with artists like Celine Dion and Sarah Brightman.

Growing up in Lajatico, Italy, Bocelli overcame blindness caused by congenital glaucoma to pursue a career in music. After studying law at the University of Pisa, he trained with renowned tenor Franco Corelli and began performing in piano bars. Bocelli's breakthrough came in 1992 with the recording of "Miserere" alongside Pavarotti, leading to a solo career that established him as a prominent figure in the classical crossover genre. His albums, such as Romanza and Sogno, achieved international acclaim and commercial success, solidifying his status as a music icon.
