 PASQUALE ESPOSITO ' is an Italian Tenor, born in Naples, Italy. He started singing at the age of seven when a local priest became his teacher and mentor and helped him become a singer in the church choir. As he got older, Pasquale enjoyed performing at local piano bars where he learned to develop his vocal talent and his stage presence. Pasquale immigrated to the United States in 1998 to further his goal of becoming a professional vocalist. He graduated with a Bachelor or Arts in Music degree from San Jose State University where he studied vocal performance under the direction of the highly acclaimed Joseph Frank. Through Frank's excellent coaching and proffesional guidance Pasquale developed even more as an individual and as an artist.

NOTABLE INC. MUSIC ACADEMY

Since Pasquale believes that "music should be a part of every one's life", in 2010 he established the Notable Inc. Music Academy; a private school where he teaches young students voice lessons with an emphasis on Opera. Musical insrument lessons are taught by professional instructors. As a student progresses they are challenged with more difficult scales, songs and styles.

' MUSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS, COLLABORATIONS AND A DEBUT ALBUM'

In December 2009, Pasquale performed his first "Pasquale In Canto" concert with the Mission Chamber Orchestra conducted by Miss Emily Ray and Ettore Gatta. This concert was a collaborative effort in which Pasquale was the headliner Tenor performing arias from famous Italian operas. Due to the success of the premier show at the Fort Mason Cowel Theater in San Francisco, the concert continues touring in 2011.

Pasquale's love of the Italian language and culture is apparent in his CDs which reveal his remarkable capacity to perform in both classical and contemporary Italian, English, Neapolitan and Spanish style.

Pasquale latest CD “A Brand New Me” consists of original compositions in his distinctive pop-opera genre. The making of this CD was an international collaboration of many talents. The music and lyrics were written by Pasquale Esposito and Antonio Aprile a composer and musical arranger from Naples, Italy. The recording of the CD took place in Italy and the United States under the supervision of Antonio Aprile; and Ettore Gatta. A transatlantic fusion of cultures and musicians, this spectacular CD was released on February 14, 2009 followed by an international “kick-off” tour in Naples, Italy at Teatro Cilea on January 7, 2009. Subsequent tours in the USA began at the Montgomery Theatre in San Jose followed by performances nationwide throughout 2009.

From 2005 through 2007 Pasquale toured with the Italian musical revue: "Naples...That's Amore!" In collaboration with Ettore Squillance; accomplished director and choreographer from Italy, Pasquale wrote, directed and produced the entire musical. After several sold out performances in the USA, the last run of the show was at the historical Teatro Bellini in Naples in the spring of 2007.

In the fall of 2007, during their North American Tour, Pasquale performed with Gigi D’Allessio and Anna Tatangelo; two of Italy’s most successful pop artists.

Pasquale introduced his original music to the public for the first time in his own 2007 concert tour called: “Simply Pasquale!” The concert series debuted in October at the Montgomery Theatre in San Jose, CA, followed by performances at the State Theatre in Modesto, CA and the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco.
