Pasquale Esposito is an Italian-born American tenor. He has released six albums and has toured internationally.
Esposito is originally from Naples, Italy. He has four sisters, and is the youngest out of the five siblings. At home, his family played the music of Enrico Caruso, who was also from Naples. He started singing when he was six and by age seven he was performing at church. He started performing in bars when he was 14, singing Italian and American standards.
In 1998, he visited California and decided to move to America. His family was not supportive of his goal to relocate, after which he received a green card through an immigration lottery. After enrolling in ESL classes at Foothill College, Esposito started studying music at San Jose State University in San Jose, California. Esposito performed at Aldo's Ristorante in Los Gatos, California. He graduated from the music program, with a degree in vocal performance, in 2009. While at San Jose State, he studied under Professor Joseph Frank.
Esposito is a lyric tenor, whose work focuses on operatic pop with occasional forays into traditional opera. Musically, Esposito is inspired by the work of Claudio Baglioni, Enrico Caruso, Pavarotti, and Giuseppe Di Stefano. He performs in multiple languages, including Italian, Neapolitan, Spanish, and English. Between 2005 and 2006, Esposito toured both Italy and the United States in support of his album Naples... That's Amore! In 2007 he then toured with Gigi D'Alessio and Anna Tatangelo on the US leg of their world tour. After this he toured his own show of original compositions called Simply Pasquale! In 2009 he performed Volare at a San Francisco Giants game. Between that year and 2010, he toured internationally in support of his album A Brand New Me. He has also performed for the San Francisco Opera, the Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo, the Fort Smith Symphony, the National Steinbeck Center, and the Folsom Symphony, for which he performed a Christmas program entitled Bianco Natale.
