different ways people would perceive my
music. It was difficult at times to achieve, but
overall not really.
- Did you ever think to be a professional
psychologist? And did it ever help you in the
relations with people in music?
Yes, and I still think about it. It’s always
something I can pursue. That door will
always be open. Considering the vast
differences in the mentality of people in the
music busin ess, it did not have that big of an
impact in that area. It didn’t really give me
an advantage in that part of the business
because others controlled the business.
- What would you have done for a job if you
weren’t a singer?
I probably would have gone into the
healthcare field in some capacity.
- Three things that you really love to do at
home.
Constantly torture my mother LOL, play
tennis, go on long walks with my fiance, and
watch a lot of football and Investigation
Discovery.
- If you had to define music for you, what is
it?
Music is the expression of emotion, attitude,
and existence.

- When you sing, what do you feel? Is it just
a job or is it a different experience?
It’s actually an experience that I can’t easily
define. I am conveying my emotion through
my voice and the perfect expression comes
from all of the years of training and
experience that I have. So for that reason, it
gets better and better with time.
- You played in Europe and all over the world.
What would you bring from the world to
America?
It is something that I already do. I bring all of
my experiences from playing all over the
world to America.
- About Italy, do you have any good
memories or friends from here?
Yes, I have several great friends from Italy.
Italy is a beautiful country that has so much
to offer especially in the way of food and
monumental historical importance. I think
Italy has the best food in the world,
especially dessert!
- Who were your influences when you were
young and who do you still listen to during
your daily life?
Ronnie Dio, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden,
Whitesnake, Queensryche, Black Sabbath,
Ozzy Osbourne. I listen to them every day on
my favorite satellite radio station. I still get
energy from it every day to remember where
I came from.
- What do you desire for yourself and your
family in the future? If you were asked to
have one dream, what would it be?
For everyone to dream and pursue their
dreams and do what they want to do in life,
and to hopefully have some success in doing
