David Raminfard serves as president and CEO of both New Point Fabric and Kaslen Textiles in California. When he finds time away from his work in textiles, David Raminfard enjoys listening to music and attending concerts. One of his favorite musicians is the Italian legend Andrea Bocelli.
Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli is one of the world's most prominent crossover performers. He is noted for his ability to sing both contemporary and classical pieces, and is considered to be largely responsible for bringing classical and operatic music to mainstream audiences over the past 30 years.
Andrea Bocelli demonstrated a talent for music early on, and began playing piano at the age of six. He went on to learn several additional instruments before becoming fully blind at the age of 12. In 1992, he caught the attention of Luciano Pavarotti. They sang a duet together, and the song became the first of Bocelli's many international hits.
Since then, Bocelli has performed popular duets with artists including Celine Dion and Christina Aguilera. His albums routinely reach the top 10 slots on the Billboard and international charts, beating out scores of more mainstream pop artists.
