Gian Faraone

Known as a Modern Day Crooner, Gian Faraone is a critically-acclaimed singer and recording artist based in NYC who considers himself an old-fashioned entertainer. A Berklee College of Music graduate with a multi-cultural upbringing and fluency in three languages (English, Italian and Spanish), has given Faraone a continental appeal. Incorporating the signature sounds of the great voices from the big band era combined with the romantic style from his Latin-Italian roots, this talented and charismatic crooner delivers a modern throwback on classic standards in a performance you will not forget. Usually hired under categories such as: Italian Singer, Crooner, Jazz Singer, Wedding Singer, Frank Sinatra Tribute Act, Bolero Singer, Jazz Band, Solo Act, and beyond. The show presents a modern take on the timeless classics. It combines tunes from The Great American Songbook in the vein of Sinatra/Michael Bublé along with Italian and Latin classics as well. Gian covers some of the hits from Sinatra, Michael Bublé, Elvis, Dean Martin, The Jersey Boys, Julio Iglesias, and many others, including styles such as Swing/Jazz/Big Band, Traditional Pop, Ballads, Oldies, Motown, Rock & Roll, Disco, Italian and Latin styles, such as, Bolero, Cha Cha and Latin Jazz.
