Inspired by the legendary Italian American singers of the 50’s and 60’s, like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, Patrizio Buanne epitomises style, sophistication and elegance. With his rich baritone voice he is a unique performer in the modern world of entertainment.
In Australia Patrizio’s first album, THE ITALIAN, shot to the #3 position on the ARIA album charts, THE ITALIAN is now a Double Platinum selling album in Australia. Currently, THE ITALIAN has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide! His DVD THE ITALIAN LIVE IN CONCERT released in 2005, was an instant success, shipping Gold and making it one the most successful DVD releases of the year.
FOREVER BEGINS TONIGHT, Patrizio’s second album, which was released in October 2006, is a collection of 12 romantic timeless classics. Recorded over six months, the album took shape in London, Vienna, Warsaw and LA. It’s a mix of original tracks along with Patrizio’s take on some of the world’s most famous romantic and classical Italian songs.
One of the many stand out tracks is Un Angelo (Angels), an Italian version of the Robbie Williams’ classic. Interestingly, this is the first time Robbie has allowed a foreign language version of the song. The title track, Forever Begins Tonight is a modern romantic love story that was co-written with Conner Reeves and Patrizio’s musical director Mike Stevens, who is also the Musical Director for Take That and Annie Lennox.
Another standout track is Io Che Non Vivo (You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me) originally a smash hit for Pino Donaggio in 1963 but it is the English language version that became a huge success the following year for Dusty Springfield. This track has sold over 60 million copies since its’ release and was sung by one of Patrizio’s heroes Elvis Presley, whose hit Always on My Mind (Vives en mi Corazon) is perfomed on this album in Spanish, one of six languages that Patrizio speaks and sings fluently.
Some of Patrizio’s celebrity fans include: Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, Robbie Williams, Gwen Stefani, Geri Halliwell, Rolf Harris, Cliff Richard and apparently his debut album was on heavy rotation at Buckingham Palace!
Patrizio was born to be an entertainer, when he was growing up his father would only play Italian music at home and he would sing along. Now, his concerts are attended by three generations of fans from teenage girls to their grandparents…
and he has even sung for the Pope!
Don’t miss your chance to woo and be wooed by the new voice of romance!
