Even though he lost his sight, Andrea as a young man had a lot of talent as a singer. At age 14, he won his first competition by singing the Neapolitan song “O Sole Mio” But it didn’t look like Bocelli should have been a musician. He went to the University of Pisa to study law, but he kept singing in bars to make extra money.
Then Bocelli’s luck changed when an Italian rock star named Zucchero gave a demo tape of Bocelli singing to Luciano Pavarotti.
