Tiziano Ferro is a master of all trades. Everyone knows him as an Italian singer with a characteristic deep and melodic voice.
The artist performs his compositions in Italian, Spanish, English, Portuguese and French. But he gained immense popularity thanks to the Spanish-language versions of his songs.
Ferro has earned universal recognition not only because of his vocal abilities. He wrote most of his lyrics himself. In addition, the singer was the composer of a significant part of his tracks.
The birth of the creative career of Tiziano Ferro
The famous singer, composer was born on February 21, 1980 in a middle-class family in Latina (a provincial center). No one, except for his parents, knows whether Tiziano reacted in a special way to music, as a baby or while in the womb of his mother, whether he beat his foot to the beat when he heard a familiar melody.
But all fans of his talent know the fact that the star's creative career was born at the age of 3, when the boy was presented with a toy synthesizer.
At the age of 7, he was already composing songs and writing music for them. Ferro recorded his backing tracks on a tape recorder. Two of these songs were given new life as part of the Nessuno è Solo album.
The celebrity's parents did not differ in bright creative abilities - his father worked as a surveyor. And the mother was a housewife, which is typical for Italian women of that period.
Difficulties of adolescence Tiziano Ferro
Of course, Tiziano Ferro is a handsome and fit man, but he was not always like that. As a teenager, the singer was unhappy with his figure. In one period, his weight exceeded 111 kg.
As the singer himself admits, he grew up as a timid, vulnerable, very romantic young man. Despite his genius, the teenager constantly suffered from the ridicule of his peers, they even declared him severe bullying.
At the age of 16, the guy sang in the Gospel choir. According to him, this gave him confidence and gave him the opportunity to reach his potential. There he first became acquainted with the popular tracks of African American music, which manifested itself in his work in the Latin American style.
The guy began to actively participate in various competitions, performed in bars and clubs, and even got a job as an announcer. He also took courses in film dubbing.
A turning point in my career
The turning point in the artist's career came when he passed the audition for the San Remo Song Academy. This was helped by his composition Quando Ritornerai.
The young man tried to participate in several competitions, but did not pass the qualifying round. However, in 1999, fortune smiled at Tiziano. His dream of performing African American motifs as part of a rap group came true.
He sang the very sensual and expressive song Sulla Mia Pelle in a duet with ATPC. Then the singer toured as part of the rap group Sottotono, having mastered the experience of teamwork.
Debut album by Tiziano Ferro
In 2001, the singer released his debut album Rosso Relativo. The song Perdono from the collection sounded throughout the country, later covering Latin America. In 2002 the album was re-released in Europe. Thanks to the collection, the singer became a Latin Grammy nominee, becoming the only Italian in this competition.
Later career of Tiziano Ferro

The last of which, Il Mestiere Della Vita, was released in 2016. This album was produced by Michele Canova.
This album had a lot of positive reviews in Russia as well. It has also been translated into Spanish under the title El Oficio de la Vida.
Tiziano in 2004 wrote a song dedicated to the Olympic Games in Athens, which he performed with Jamelia. Since that time, the active conquest of the hearts of English and American citizens by the performer began.

Tiziano Ferro's personal life
Little is known about Tiziano's relationships and loves. The singer and composer is a charismatic, talented, self-confident man with an attractive appearance, and, of course, women like him. However, in 2010, Ferro decided to take an important step for himself and the world community.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, popular in Italy, he admitted to being gay. Although many journalists have repeatedly asked the star about his orientation. He denied this fact, the man nevertheless admitted this later.
Ferro, who grew up in a Catholic family, hid his beloved men for a long time, and even from his relatives. For some time, the singer was even depressed, considering himself a person with mental disabilities.
And even now, when the performer is frank, he hides his chosen one, as he is afraid that this could negatively affect his life.
