Born in Tuscany, Matteo Bocelli, son of the legendary Andrea Bocelli, was immersed in music from an early age. He made his live performance debut at just eighteen years old at Rome’s iconic Colosseum, signaling the arrival of a remarkable new talent.

Matteo first captured international attention in 2018 with “Fall On Me,” his acclaimed duet with his father featured in Disney’s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. The song has since amassed more than 400 million streams worldwide. Building on that success, he released his self-titled debut album, Matteo, in 2023 and has gone on to perform on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including the 96th Academy Awards, the Sydney Opera House, and Madison Square Garden. In early 2026, he was crowned King of the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, further cementing his growing global profile.

Released in September 2025 on Decca Records, Matteo’s second album, Falling in Love, represents a significant artistic evolution. Recorded at his home in Tuscany with renowned producer Martin Terefe, the album seamlessly blends his classical roots with a warm, contemporary sound. Matteo co-wrote every original song alongside an acclaimed group of collaborators, including Grammy Award winner Amy Wadge, Toby Gad, Iain Archer, and Johan Carlsson. Many of the songwriting sessions unfolded around shared meals at his Tuscan home, lending the album a deeply personal and intimate character. The record concludes with Matteo’s heartfelt interpretation of “Caruso,” Lucio Dalla’s timeless masterpiece, which has become a defining moment of his live performances.

Over the past several years, Matteo has steadily established himself as an artist in his own right, earning international acclaim through performances around the world and collaborations with artists such as Ed Sheeran. While honoring his family’s extraordinary musical legacy, he has remained committed to developing a voice, style, and repertoire that are uniquely his own.

His live show moves effortlessly between soaring ballads and uplifting contemporary songs, performed in both English and Italian. Throughout the evening, Matteo transitions seamlessly between frontman, pianist, and guitarist, showcasing both his versatility and natural stage presence. Accompanied by his touring band and select orchestral musicians, he creates a sound that is at once intimate and cinematic. Drawing primarily from Falling in Love while celebrating the songs audiences have come to cherish, the performance offers an unforgettable evening with one of today’s most compelling young artists. Matteo Bocelli is effortlessly bridging timeless romance with modern sophistication.
