Christopher Dallo

Bio:

By the time Christopher Dallo hit the age of 12 his parents Andrew and Rita knew without a doubt their son possessed vocal abilities beyond his years. It was from that point forward Christopher made the decision to begin developing his voice for the incredible world of Pop Opera. He has worked with many well known and respected vocal icons such as world renowned Opera Tenor Ermanno Mauro and Elaine Overholt, considered one of North America’s most treasured vocal coaches and singers. Since 2004, Christopher has won several awards and scholarships from the Arcadia Academy of Music, as well as a Bursary from York Region Celebration of the Arts. From 2006-2008 Christopher took 1st place at the CNE Rising Star Competition. In June 2009 he was nominated and received the 1st R.A.V.E Award for Rising Star. Not only was this young man born with an amazing voice, he was born with an amazing heart, in which he recognizes and values the importance of 'giving back'. Therefore, Christopher donates his time by performing at numerous charity fund raisers and galas throughout Canada including those attended by the Lieutenant Governor and Premier of Ontario. A special memory for Christopher was in 2007 where he had the privilege of touring Italy with his school choir. While in Abruzzo at the Castello Spagnolo, is where he experienced an overwhelming joy – finding himself singing "The Prayer" on the same stage where his idol Andrea Bocelli once stood singing that identical song. By 2008 Christopher was the opening act for Juno award winner Jully Black for Canada Day Celebrations. In addition he has appeared in many theatrical productions for example: Cats, Footloose, and, The Secret Garden, just to name a few. Christopher has also been an active part of his Parish St. David’s where he has performed in The Passion Drama of Jesus Christ. Christopher has appeared live on EZRock 97.3 FM, Rogers Daytime and TLN, CHIN Television and Breakfast Television. In November 2009 Christopher had the opportunity to perform in New Jersey at the Prudential Centre in front of 10,000 people, in which he succeeded in moving onto perform at the General Motors Place in Vancouver. This event was hosted by Multi Grammy Award Winner/ Producer David Foster on his Hit Man Tour, where he sang the well known Josh Groban hit "You Raise Me Up". Since then Christopher has shared the stage with many talented, world wide stars such as: Randy Bachman, Justin Hines, Peter Cetera, Philip Bailey, Deborah Cox, Charice, Sarah McLaughlin, Michael Johns, Ruben Studdard the Canadian Tenors and most recently, as of January 13, 2011, Josh Groban. 2009 - 2010 proved to be some of the most memorable and notable years of performance for Christopher. In December 2009 he was asked to headline one of the longest running shows in the history of Theatre with the All Star Orchestra. Going onto collaborate with several established producers and professional songwriters, on the January 2010 CBC Network The Passionate Eye, which featured a documentary called "The 40 Year Secret". In this documentary, Christopher co-wrote, co-produced and performed the theme song "My First True Love". In June 2010 Christopher opened for Jose Feliciano in Quebec, Canada. Where he said, “ that was an event I will never forget”. Through all the years of hard work, growth, and preparation, and all the life experience Christopher Dallo has gained on his musical journey to date. He states,” the most important factor I have discovered about myself and my voice, is that the greatest joy of all is being able to connect with people of all ages through my music. Something I will always continue to strive toward in order never lose that bond with the audience”. This also leads him to know and believe the best years of his gift are still yet to be loved and shared …
