Born in the small medieval town of Siena, Italy, in 1968, Alessandro Safina discovered his passion for opera singing at an early age. His mother nurtured his enthusiasm by teaching him opera's history, while his father's love of singing served as an inspiration. By the age of nine, Safina had decided to devote himself completely to opera. He has already performed on stage across Europe in Puccini's "La Bohème" and Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin."

Unlike most artists of his generation, the tenor did not begin listening to pop music until the age of 17. Though he was consumed and completely driven by his love of classical music to that point, he suddenly found himself equally inspired by pop music and quickly became a fan of Genesis, The Clash, and his favorite band, U2 - a key influence.

The recent "crossover" success of some of the newer generation of opera singers - for whom Alessandro Safina has great admiration - served as an inspiration and a great source of hope for him. He found it encouraging that opera was beginning to reach more people than ever before.

During this same period, Alessandro Safina was discovered by renowned Italian musician and composer Romano Musumarra. Musumarra, whose body of work has included every area of music over the past 25 years, saw in Safina an unparalleled strength and sensuality. He knew that the young tenor was unique, and wanted the opportunity to work with him. Having been a fan of Musumarra for years, Alessandro Safina immediately agreed. Together, they quickly realized they shared the same vision - to develop a soulful new "pop-opera" music.
