So who is this Opera Pop Singer making waves?

Jonathan Cilia Faro was born in Sicily. He began studying music at the age of 9, learning both accordion and piano. This young musician flourished under the tutelage or famous dedicated teachers and was offered his first recording contract at 16. He moved to Milan to record his first album “Always close to me” which sold over 100,000 copies.

After taking a break to serve in the military, Jonathan recorded his second album “Renaissance”. That same year he began a worldwide gospel tour, which led him to his third album “Symphony”

Jonathan likes to call himself a citizen of the world, his next 2 albums “When Inspiration Becomes Music and From The Darkness to the Light” were recorded in Canada. Once back in Italy, the Italian Pop singer was at the demand of his growing fan base and Jonathan produced “Part of Me”.

After all that hard work, he decided to cut back on performances and devote his time to writing and arranging music. This resulted in 2 more albums, “If There is Life, There is Magic” and “A Plan That I’m Going”. A tour of Canada and the US soon followed.

Last year Jonathan appeared in the pages of the official book of the history of the city of Ragusa, Sicily. He also just completed recording a CD with Grammy Award-winning producer Tom Brooks, who has produced 6 Platinum and 18 Gold Albums. Jonathan also shot a video in Italy recently with Don Most ( many know him for his role on Happy Days), who is not just an actor but also a very talented singer.

As Jonathan says “ I don’t want to base myself today on what I’ve done. I want to show people what I can do using my own experiences, I have no wish to live off memories; it’s easy to impress someone with your past, but I want to show that if there is talent, love and respect for music, then things happen. “In God I Trust” is my philosophy of life, my faith… none of the rest counts. This is the new chapter of my life, join me to find out how it will end”
