Seeing as we are all obsessed with the gorgeous Steven Rossitto here in the EMI offices (Fez - the appropriately classy guy watching over Clare Bowditch at last year’s ARIAs – wins for his spot on impression singing “The very thought of you…“), we’ve decided to go bi-lingual for our latest post on the Melbourne crooner. And we need your help!

Any Italians out there let us know how we went with our first attempt at an Italian post! We’re a bit rusty over here – we haven’t practiced since high school. (Italian) grammar nerds welcome!! Il primo tempo che Australiani hanno visto Steven Rossitto era nel il phenomena della internet: YouTube. Al solo 16 anni, il cantore fatto una video… Egli era canto il classica canzone ‘Mio Uno e Solo Amore’ – e lui aveva la voce di qualcuno molto più vecchio di 16 anni! (Guarda qui.)

Molte persone sono sorpresi: Come potrebbe questo giovano ragazzo ha una voce come Dean Martin o Frank Sinatra? Ma, e vero: e perche di questo video, il presentatore del divertimento della Today Show, Richard Wilkins, trovati Steven e gli diede attenzione nazionale. Ora, Steven sarà comunicato il primo assaggio della musica che lo hanno ispirato, in un EP di tre canzoni.

Un album verrà più tardi questo anno.

And for those who don’t speak Italian…

The first time that Australians saw Steven Rossitto was on the internet phenomenon YouTube. At only 16 years of age, the singer posted a video on the site, singing the classic song ‘My One and Only Love’ – and he had the voice of a person much older than 16 years! (Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgFVlkGw7XY )

Many people were shocked: How could this young boy have the voice of Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra? But, it was true: and because of this video the entertainment presenter of The Today Show, Richard Wilkins, found Steven and gave him national fame. Now, Steven will release the first taste of the music that inspired him, on an EP of three songs.

A full length album will come later this year.

So, Italianos: How did we go?

Before Christmas, we were all lucky enough to go to Low Bar in Sydney to hear the young and talented Steven Rossitto perform a showcase.

Steven is from Melbourne, and is currently recording his first album with a big band, orchestra, strings, even Rai Thistlewaite (from Thirsty Merc) …and he’s only16 years old!

Have a listen to some of his early recordings on Steven’s facebook page… I told you you won’t believe your ears!
