For frustrated music fans who have grown tired of negative lyrics, lip-syncing artists, and superficial imagery, we have found the answer for you. Often described as a cross between John Mayer and Jason Mraz, pop-folk singer/songwriter/musician, Tiamo De Vettori, was recently named L.A. Music Award's "Male Singer/Songwriter of the Year" & San Diego Music Award's "Best Songwriter". With a powerful voice, captivating stage presence, compelling lyrics, and melodies impossible not to sing along to, Southern California fans have gravitated to Tiamo's positive vibe and love for life.
Tiamo has grown accustomed to performing for audiences of up to 5,000 people since he was seven years old. During his childhood, he had the extremely rare opportunity to perform and tour the world with his father, Franco De Vettori, an international opera singer.
Despite growing up on stage, Tiamo's career as a singer/songwriter didn't quite materialize until he intuitively hopped on a Greyhound bus headed for Virginia...just a few days after graduating from the University of Arizona. Shortly after, a close friend who had read Tiamo's poetry and heard him sing, insisted that he explore the combination of songwriting and performing. Needing a friendly push, Tiamo had a hard time turning down his friend's eventual offer to pay for half the cost of a guitar as long as he kept one promise; get the guitar, let it sit in your living room, and as Tiamo's friend put it, "the songs will just flow out of you". Surely enough, Tiamo looked at his new guitar one rainy night, picked it up, and without any previous guitar experience, "accidentally" wrote his first song.
Currently, Tiamo has climbed to #4 and #18 on the Australian top 40 radio charts and is receiving radio play in 10 countries including the U.S. Now touting a publishing catalog of over 75 songs, Tiamo has taken his passion for performing to several of the most popular hot spots in San Diego such as opening for Jewel at San Diegos highly celebrated Humphrey's by the Bay, large college campuses including University of California San Diego and San Diego State University, and other highly regarded venues such as the House of Blues, the Belly Up and Hard Rock Cafe. He has also performed live on San Diego's most-watched morning news show, KFMB News Channel 8 and has been featured on radio stations such as KPRI 102.1 FM.
With the international release of his new CD entitled "Back to Love", a vision of creating positive change in the music industry, and a gravitating persona, you can't help but cheer on this modest, rising star. For more information, booking, or interviews, contact:
