Album Notes

CBC Radio 3 is calling PATRIZIA "CANADA'S NEXT SENSATION"!

This award winning diva combines powerful 4-octave operatic vocals with the stage presence of a true bonafide rock star!
Often referred to as a "female version of Freddie Mercury" Patrizia's effect on a crowd is:

"Holy **** can you believe what we have just saw and heard?" Joe Chisolm (IndieCan Radio)

" The audience was fascinated and riveted.."
(CHART Attack)

" Perhaps the most unique performer I have ever heard in my life..Freddy Mercury would have been blown away and completely dazzled by Patrizia"-Linear Reflections

Patrizia’s unique style of fusing opera with rock has garnered the praises from critics and fellow musicians across the country. Her first video “Rage” was featured at the 2001 Italian Film Festival as well as charting on Bravo! Television and her second video “Temptation” reached to #1 in early 2004. Her latest video “Desperation” charted at #2 and was featured on BravoFact presents the Best Canadian Female Vocalists. Patrizia received a SOCAN award for her #1 song on Bravo!

Patrizia’s recent collaboration with 5 times Grammy award winning producer Steve Thompson (Madonna, Metallica, Guns n’ Roses etc) has resulted in her current release “My Beloved” now on rotation/charting in 30 college stations across Canada.

Born in Abruzzo, Italy, raised in Thunder Bay and now residing in Toronto, Patrizia grew up loving rock music before seeking the bright lights of Toronto to pursue her rock n’ roll dream. While writing and performing with local rock bands the unthinkable happened – she heard a recording of the legendary 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, Stephanie Bogle, John Hess, Stuart Hamilton, Alisa Palmer, Tom Diamond, Paula Suozzi to name a few, performing as lead in many operatic productions. Although drawing praises for her unique voice and stage presence Patrizia could not let go of her first love – rock music. Hence Patrizia conceptualized the marriage of her two greatest musical lovers to create her trademark style.

"Patrizia is proving herself as one of Canada's premiere talents"
