A dying breed comes to life!
Henry
Monzello started to study music at the tender age of
five. He learned the piano from his grandfather and
performed his first piano solo when he was seven years
old. By the time he was ten he had sung and played on
different television shows and was the star of elementary
school, junior high school and high school. He managed
to work his way through college by performing here and
there and then finally moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where
he was exposed to the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy
Davis Jr. and many other top performers of the time.
After a few years in Vegas and some other spots in the
U.S. Henry performed on some major cruise lines and
then after a ten- year performance in South East Asia
where Osaka, Japan was his home base he made his way
to Europe. Since 1996, Henry has been performing around
Europe with great success.
It would be safe to say that Henry has
show business in his blood. He comes from a famous show
business family that performed as the Flying Monzellos
in Barnum and Baileys Greatest Show On Earth. Henry
has a rich background in training and experience and
very few performers can match his repertoire and professionalism.
Henry sings in five languages and performs Classical,
Jazz, Rock and Roll, Blues, Pop, Country and Western,
Boogie Woogie and Ragtime all without the use of any
technological support. I believe that when you hear
Henry Monzello perform you are listening to a slice
of class and elegance with a rough edge on it that suits
the more modern listener alike.
I was so astounded by him that I convinced
him to let me write this piece on him, and it turns
out, that not only was I impressed by his voice and
playing ability, but also by his general heart-warming
attitude. Henry Monzello is also a really nice guy
