Andrea Bocelli was born in the Italian town of Lajatico in 1950, to parents Alessandro and Edi. The family owned a farm, which also included a small vinyard. Bocelli's parents noticed his musical talents and entered him into piano lessons at the age of six. His love of music was well known throughout the family - his relatives always asked him to sing for them during family gatherings. Later, when asked why he became a singer, Bocelli replied, "I don't think one really decides to be a singer - other people decide it for you by their reactions." At just 12 years old, Bocelli was blinded during a soccer accident.
