Why this crowdfunding campaign?

Having no label or producer, I have to finance the album 100%. This ranges from creation, orchestration, recording, mixing, jacket etc.

Without your help, I cannot fund it, which is why I need you: my friends, my supporters or people who are sensitive to my background and my approach.

It is together that this album will be able to see the light of day.

By supporting this project, you are helping me directly to finance these different steps towards the creation of the album:

The costs	Prices
Rehearsals (interpretation)	CHF 800.—
Instrumentation	CHF 2500.—
Recording (studio rental and sound engineer work)	CHF 2000.—
Cutting, mixing, mastering (sound engineer)	CHF 1500.—
Photos for the wallet and booklet	CHF 400.—
Graphic for the wallet and booklet	CHF 600.—

The more successful the campaign, the more we can bring this album to life: social networks, music videos, etc.

My Story

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was infected and had to be hospitalized urgently, suffering from respiratory failure. A CT scan showed that my lungs were badly damaged. I realized then that I would have to fight to get out of this situation and that I might not be able to sing anymore. After being released from the hospital, I continued my rehabilitation daily despite a persistent cough. I decided to create the album as a means to inspire others in a similar situation. When I posted my interpretation of different songs on social media, I received many words of encouragement and congratulations. These inspired me to undertake the recording of my first album with the title "La Rinascita"... the rebirth.

My Musical Bio

I started singing at the age of 7. After that, I studied trombone for several years. When I was 15, listening to Marillion's ... 33 rpm 😉"Seasons end", I discovered the pleasure of humming. A few months later, I attend a performance of Puccini's opera "Turandot". It was revelation and I immediately decided to enrol at the Conservatory in classical singing and at the College of Geneva. Thanks to professors Marga Liskutin and Claude Darbellay, I obtained my certificate in 2003 with the congratulations of the school. In parallel with my professional life, I've partaken in musicals: "The phantom of the opera" (Raoul) and "illusion" where I played the leading role!

My lyrical range is tenor.
