An Italian classical crossover tenor, recording artist, and singer-songwriter. Born with poor eyesight, he became permanently blind at the age of 12 following a football accident.
Bocelli has recorded fifteen solo studio albums, of both pop and classical music, three greatest hits albums, and nine complete operas, selling over 80 million records worldwide. He has had success as a crossover performer bringing classical music to the top of international pop charts.
In 1998, he was named one of People’s 50 Most Beautiful People. In 1999, he was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards. “The Prayer”, his duet with Celine Dion for the animated film Quest for Camelot, won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song and was nominated for an Academy Award in the same category. With the release of his classical album, Sacred Arias, Bocelli captured a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records, as he simultaneously held the top three positions on the US Classical Albums charts. Seven of his albums have since reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and a record-setting ten have topped the classical crossover albums charts in the United States.
With five million units sold worldwide, Sacred Arias became the biggest-selling classical crossover album by a solo artist of all time, and with over twenty million copies sold worldwide, his 1997 pop album Romanza became the best-selling album by an Italian artist of any genre in history, as well as the best-selling album by a foreign artist in Canada and a number of countries in Europe and Latin America.The album’s first single, “Time to Say Goodbye”, was a duet with Sarah Brightman that topped charts across Europe, including Germany, where it stayed at the top of the charts for fourteen consecutive weeks, breaking the all-time sales record, with over three million copies sold in the country. The single went on to sell over twelve million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time.
Bocelli was made a Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in 2006 and, on 2 March 2010, was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contribution to Live Theater.
We had a pleasure of interviewing Andrea Bocelli at the Clinton Global Citizen Awards, where he did a live performance with the Voices of Haiti Choir, See what Mr Bocelli told us about his singing and his foundation right here in World Liberty TV, Entertainment Channel.

USA –made products with fair wages are inherently more expensive than foreign made goods.The profit margins for each piece are small relative to those designer labels manufactured overseas.Think of how expensive it is to have a piece of art professionally framed –several hundred dollars for a small pic.
A small team and over $1000,000 of equipment go into making each bag.
“Is it hand-painted” no.The Designer creates the image ,which is then digitally printed onto the canvas ,laminated, assembled,and sewn all fron his workshop in Rhode Island.
“Is it leather” no.It is a digital print on a coated cotton canvas.Note for vegan customers: we use scraps from our leather products to make the very small tabs that hold the shoulderstrap d-rings in place. This is part of our commitment to generating no waste-however by request we can make a bag using vinyl for this piece.
“How does it wear?” The prints are coated ,so they are durable .They wear like colored leather ,so should be stored in their dustbags for travel ,and avoid excessive abrasion or scratching.
“Will the thing fall of the flap?” not without extreme efforts .The Flap attachments are all fused on with industrial –grade adhesives and then sewn in place with bonded nylon thread .The attachments are made from foam, resin ,and polymers.If the attachment is “squishy “. Do not squeeze it hard as it can crack.
Fun Facts: –There are nearly 50 steps that go in to making each bag.
-We believe that the inside of the bag is an important part of the experience of using a bag, and therefore your customers will be surprised and delighted when you share the vibrant linings that individually complement each print.
-Each piece is hand-traced and cut without dies.
-The entire process is done in the USA, and the majority of materials and components that go in to making each bag are USA-Sourced .
-Although sold all over the world and popular among celebrities, our production facility can only produce 10,000 pieces a year, making them truly special collectors items.
-Every piece is made-to-order, there is no overstock ,and we do not mark-down.
-Our ecologically –conscientious production facility generates only one bag of trash a week.
-Getting each print to “line up” is a painstakingly exact process that takes very careful preparations and individual attention for each piece.
