There is something very special about someone who has the power to give you goosebumps with their voice and music ability. And that my friends, is Jonathan Cilia Faro.

It’s nearly 6 years ago since I first came across this talented and charismatic artist whom I knew from the moment I heard him sing live, that his voice would change people’s lives. So it is an honor and pleasure to be able to interview him now and share his story.

I grew up with a classical background. My mom loved piano music, so I started playing and singing at the age of 8. As I’ve grown up, I have of course learned to appreciate different styles of music; one day I’ll be listening to Mozart or Vivaldi, the next day to Bob Marley or some dance music. But classical will always have a soft spot in my heart. No matter what I do in life, music always plays a big role and I know that is something most people can relate to.

Music is inspiration, music is therapy, it can move people. Music is a big part of our lives and sometimes we don’t even realize how much of an impact it has on us and our culture. We all have those songs that when we close our eyes and truly listen, they can make us cry or feel happy.

Music is part of us from a very early age if we think about it. Parents sing to their children when they are still in the womb, we learn the alphabet through songs and I even remember when I started learning a new language as a child, songs would play a big part of that journey too.

And how do we celebrate? With music! At a wedding, birthday celebration, a party, a baseball game, even at fashion shows.

Music brings people together in a way not many other activities can. Whether it’s a small jam session at a park, a street performer or a concert in Madison Square Garden, people come together to celebrate the way music makes them feel. And Jonathan knows one thing or two about how to make people feel with his music.
