Experience an enchanting evening with Matteo Bocelli at the Count Basie Center for the Arts. At just 25 years old, Matteo has already graced some of the world's most prestigious stages, captivating audiences with his sensitive songs and dynamic vocal performances. As the son of the renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli, Matteo has been immersed in music from a young age, receiving a lifelong musical education that shines through in his debut solo album, "Matteo." This album marks a bold step into his own spotlight, showcasing his strong yet vulnerable vocal style and his talent as a songwriter.

Matteo's musical journey began with piano lessons in childhood, and he realized his calling as a teenager. His debut live performance at Rome's Colosseum at age 18 set the stage for a promising career. In 2018, he and his father released "Fall on Me," a touching duet about the parent-child relationship that has garnered over 400 million global streams. Influenced by opera, classical music, and great voices like Whitney Houston and Frank Sinatra, Matteo's musical horizons expanded to include modern pop, with a particular admiration for Ed Sheeran.

In 2020, Matteo released "Solo," a breathtaking love song that blends classic arias with contemporary radio hits. His debut album, "Matteo," further explores his pop sensibilities, featuring songs like "For You," a triumphant track that highlights his impressive falsetto. The album also includes "Chasing Stars," a sweeping ballad written by Sheeran, which resonates with themes of family and self-discovery.

Matteo's multilingual talent is evident in his recordings, with songs in English, Italian, French, and Russian. Tracks like "Fasi" and "I'm Here" reflect his journey of self-reliance and the importance of relationships. Through his music, Matteo offers listeners comfort and a chance to find positivity in negative experiences, embodying the message that with every ending, there is a new beginning. Presented by the Count Basie Center for the Arts, this event promises an unforgettable night of music and emotion.
