Alfie Zappacosta Live

Two time Juno award winner singer songwriter Alfie Zappacosta delivers a performance like no other. A sophisticated musician with international poise Alfie sings in both English and Italian; studied in jazz and classical guitar. He is a virtuoso composer and seasoned live performer. Alfie's rich soaring vocals have always been his signature and his songs diverse drawing from pop, jazz and rock elements.

Five decades committed to his craft Alfie has invested in a lot of hard work to reach a capacity to produce complex and impactful music. Much more it is his underlying fabric, a talent, a natural affinity and introspective ability to create music that touches the hearts and souls of his audience.

Alfie's vocal dexterity and song writing proficiency was uncovered by a publisher while writing for his first original band “Surrender, a five-piece group that recorded three albums in the late 1970s into the early 1980s.

As a solo artist Alfie's career took off with a legacy of hits that brought him to the world's attention. "Start Again", "Passion", "When I Fall in Love Again" and "Nothing Can Stand In Your Way" written with David Foster. In 1988 he was awarded JUNOs for "Album of The Year' and "Most Promising Artist", and American Music Award for "Most Popular Album of The Year".

These hit songs were originally written for acoustic and jazz presentations. Writing for radio began to rub against Alfie’s musical integrity and he became frustrated with the demands of music trends. Alfie broke from the stereotype and began to write the lyrics and melodies that were authentically him, revealing his insight into relationships and his advanced knowledge of music.
