At just 27 years old, Matteo Bocelli, who is both performer and composer, has already performed on most of the world's most prestigious music stages alongside the biggest stars in show business. With his soulful performances and dynamic vocals, Matteo Bocelli is quickly capturing the hearts of viewers around the world. In the Bocelli family, Matteo was nurtured with a love of music. For him, it is not just a profession, but a real passion, a way of life. All of this is evident on his debut album, and earlier this year his performance of "Time To Say Goodbye" with his father took the audience's breath away at the 96th Academy Awards.

At an early age, Matteo began to play the piano and at a very young age realized that music was his vocation. "I've always loved music since I was a little kid," Matteo shares. "At the age of 16, I realized that music was becoming more than a passion, a meaning of my life." His debut live performance was at the age of 18 at the Colosseum in Rome, and in 2018. released with his father "Fall on Me", a moving duet about the relationship between a parent and a child, which has more than 400 million listens worldwide.

Matteo grew up listening to opera and classical music, but was also influenced by the "big voices" like Whitney Houston and Frank Sinatra. In his adolescence, he expanded his musical horizons and showed an interest in pop music. He was attracted to then-rising singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. "I really think he's a genius," Matteo says. In 2020 Matteo composed "Solo" - a breathtaking love song, with a unique musical sound, interweaving the classic aria with modern hits.

"Chasing Stars" is a stirring ballad that showcases the artist's high register. The song poignantly tells the story of a father teaching his son to discover himself and "be who he is". The song was written especially for him by Ed Sheeran, of whom Bocelli says, "We both grew up in families where music was held in high esteem." “He wrote this song, but it turned out that it was written especially for me. I am truly flattered.”

Matteo releases his compositions in different languages ​​- "Fall on Me", for example, was recorded in English, Italian, French and Russian.

With his first solo album, Matteo Bocelli wants to say "I'm here". And it does so in a brilliant way – with a new, contemporary crossover reading of classical music.

"And above all, I am here. I'm here for you. Even if we live our lives differently, the important thing is to keep sharing.”

Young, talented, handsome and charming, Matteo Bocelli will touch our hearts on 13/06/2025 at the Rock Theater.
