ALESSANDRO SAFINA
GROUNDBREAKING ALBUM COMBINES OPERA AND POP MUSIC
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2001
11:00AM TO 1:00PM EASTERN
Unlike most artists of his generation, 33-year old Alessandro Safina did not 
begin listening to pop music until the age of 17. By age 9, growing up in the 
small medieval town of Siena, Italy, Safina discovered a passion for opera.  
Safina performed on stages across Europe performing in Puccini's "La Boheme" and
Tchaykovski's "Eugene Onegin."  Often first noticed for his striking good looks,
Safina quickly became appreciated for his fiercely passionate performances.
In his teen years Safina found himself equally inspired by pop music and quickly
became a fan of Genesis, The Clash, Simple Minds and his favorite band U2.  His 
love of both musical genres evoked a craving for creativity. To Alessandro, 
passion knows no boundaries and is the same intrinsic element found in all music
that moves us…be it pop, opera, or rhythm and blues. He saw no reason to stay 
within the confines of musical categorization.
ALESSANDRO SAFINA is Safina’s totally original debut album. Its groundbreaking 
sound is immediately evident in the record's first track and single entitled 
"Only You/Luna." In this song, a heavy hearted, melodic and female chorus 
hauntingly fades into the background making way for Safina's very powerful and 
dark tenor. It begins with a sweet instrumental and quickly progresses to an 
intense outpouring of emotion and sound.
Alessandro Safina will be traveling to Taurmina, Sicily this month to tape 
"Safina Live in Italy". This made for television special will air this December 
on PBS.
