Spotlight: Vincenzo Thoma

10 Hits Interpreted In Italian

An artist and a professor of the Italian language, Vincenzo Thoma is a native of Rome, Italy who now resides in Montreal. Vincenzo has been on the music for some time now. In 1992 he was cast as the voice of Aladin singing 'A Whole New World' in the Italian adapatation of Disney's Aladdin. And Vincenzo is also a regular guest on RAI network's popular music program Fantastico, which is viewed by 12 million people worldwide wide every Saturday night.

When not recording and performing, Vincenzo is writing songs - composing and writing for well known artists such as Lara Fabian and Roch Voisine.

Vincenzo recently released his latest musical offering called Romantico (available on iTunes) - an album that brings together ten of the biggest international hit performed for the first time in Italian. Some of the songs featured include Elton John's 'Candle in The Wind', 'Fragile' by Sting, 'Against All Odds' by Phil Collins and Toni Braxton's 'Unbreak My Heart'. The songs are all a perfect fit. I mean Italian is the language of love after all...

It's the perfect album for those summer dinner parties. Songs that you'll instantly recognize but with that added language twist.

You can catch Vincenzo live in concert...
