What does Jonathan enjoy doing on his spare time?
I love to work on my garden. I grow my own vegetables to make recipes in my beautiful kitchen, as you know I won an Italian cooking TV competition.
For those who speak Italian here is an old video clip from Jonathan in the cooking show.
With all the experience and wisdom you have gathered so far in life, what advice would you give to your younger self?
Nothing come easy or for free, our dreams have a price, some time the price we have to pay is very expensive, but don’t take the short cut, usually the quick path is going to destroy your life for ever. Hard work always pays off.
Tell us something not many people know about you?
15 years ago before becoming a professional full time singer, I did any kind of work to pay my tuition, I worked at a bakery, as a truck driver, a waiter, I did the impossible to make my dream possible... people are always surprised when I tell them I was a bad ass of an Italian Military soldier!… unusual for an Opera Singer ;)
What country would you like to visit you have not been to as yet?
I am very fortunate that I have covered all the globe… but I would love to die in New Zealand.
And finally, what is the one item you cannot live without?
I cannot live without a Switzerland multi purpose knife.
