Andrea Bocelli tells of his love of singing from a young age. He began to sing at church, birthday parties and everywhere. Andrea studied law but changed his career to music. He shares that his studies were useful. He tells a fun story of his father saying, “When people tell you good job, they are telling you nothing. The day that they pay a ticket to come and hear you, then you can say that you are a singer.”
Even with all of Andrea Bocelli's success, faith is the most important part of his life. He shares that it is a reason for life because eternal life is the greater life that we have and this is just a small piece of it.
