WHO IS PATRIZIA?
CBC Radio 3 is calling PATRIZIA "CANADA'S NEXT SENSATION"!
Award winning PATRIZIA is a fascinating hybrid of OPERATIC DIVA meets ROCK GODDESS! A unique spine chilling 4-octave voice that takes the listener into an emotional and impassioned journey. PATRIZIA is a musical visionary that breaks all rules, by fusing opera, rock, metal and classical creating a new stunning genre in the music world!
"PATRIZIA is proving herself as one of Canada's premiere talents" -
(www.newmusiccanada.com on CBC Radio 3)
Her unique style has garnered praises from music critics and fellow musicians across the country. PATRIZIA’s first video “RAGE” was featured at the 2001 ITALIAN FILM FESTIVAL as well as charting on BRAVO!! TELEVISION (Canada's national arts and music channel)! Her second video “TEMPTATION” reached to 1 in early 2004 earning her a SOCAN award! Her latest video “DESPERATION ” charted at 2 in 2006 and was featured on BRAVOFACT presents as a special tribute to the BEST FEMALE CANADIAN VOCALISTS! PATRIZIA's music has been heard on Canada's FASHION TELEVISION and her chart topping videos currently airing on UK's CLASSIC FM TV!
PATRIZIA's newly released "MY BELOVED" EP with 5 times Grammy Award winning mega producer STEVE THOMPSON (Metallica, Madonna, Guns N' Roses. Korn, Jet, Wu Tang etc) is charting and on rotation in more than 30 college stations in Canada! Available here http://www.cdbaby.com/patriziamusic
Born in Abruzzo, Italy, raised in Thunder Bay and now residing in Toronto, PATRIZIA grew up loving rock music before seeking the bright lights and big city of Toronto to pursue her musical dreams. While writing and performing with a local rock band the unthinkable happened – she heard a recording of the great operatic soprano MARIA CALLAS and her life took a turn.
Driven by this newfound passion PATRIZIA studied and trained under some of the best in the business: renown soprano STEPHANIE BOGLE, music coaches STUART HAMILTON and JOHN HESS, Dora award winning director ALISA PALMER, Canadian Opera Company’s PAULA SUOZZI and TOM DIAMOND to name a few, leading her to performances as lead in many operatic productions. Although drawing praises for her unique voice, dramatic temperament and exciting stage presence, she could not let go of her first love - rock- hence her unique sound and style began!
"I have always envisioned the operatic voice in the context of rock music. The juxtaposition of the refined and beautiful with the harder edged sounds create a mind blowing experience and is the music of the future." PATRIZIA
