Il Divo is a multinational classical crossover vocal group renowned for its blend of operatic singing and pop music genres. Formed in 2003, Il Divo comprises four vocalists: Swiss tenor Urs Bühler, Spanish baritone Carlos Marín, American tenor David Miller, and French pop singer Sébastien Izambard. The quartet was assembled by music producer Simon Cowell, following a global search for talented singers who could bring an innovative and contemporary flair to the classical genre.

Il Divo gained immense popularity with their eponymous debut album in 2004, establishing themselves with a lush, operatic sound that transcends language barriers—singing in Spanish, English, Italian, French, and Latin. Their polished performances and romantic, emotive style have captivated audiences worldwide, earning them over 160 gold and platinum hits in 35 countries. With a discography that spans multiple albums, their work includes original music as well as classical and popular covers, often in the form of powerful ballads and stirring anthems. Recent releases like "Timeless" and "For Once In My Life: A Celebration Of Motown" exhibit their continuous evolution and ability to infuse classical crossover with diverse influences, from soulful Motown classics to contemporary pop. Their artistic excellence has not only earned them a massive fan base but also has solidified their status as pioneers in the classical crossover genre.
