Childhood and youth
Gregorio Rega (real name of the artist) was born on April 30, 1987 in the small provincial town of Roccarainola (Naples). In an interview, he admitted that he did not plan to connect his life with a creative profession.
But, nevertheless, from childhood, the young man was surrounded by beautiful music. Classics, blues, jazz, rock and pop compositions often sounded in the house of the Rega family. Together with his family, Gregorio attended concerts and performances.
According to Reg, he realized late that he wanted to connect his life with music. He was 20 when he suddenly realized that he had a well-trained voice. The young man began taking vocal lessons from local teachers. Soon he went to Rome in order to adopt the singing technique from Fulvio Tomano.
Improving his vocal abilities, he suddenly caught himself thinking that he was catching a frantic pleasure from soul music.
Reference: Soul is a genre of popular music. It originated in the southern states of America, in the 50s of the last century. The foundation for the creation of soul was rhythm and blues.
For several years in a row, he pleases the local audience with his performance. Rega is happy to host corporate events, performs in restaurants and sings at discos. The first popularity came to him only in 2015. Then he became a participant in the music competition The Voice of Italy.
