Born on December 9, 1950, in Naples, Sorrenti first made an impact with his 1972 debut album, "Aria," which established him as a significant figure in the Italian progressive rock scene with its avant-garde blend of ethereal vocals and complex instrumentation. His experimental approach and unique falsetto voice became his trademark during this early stage of his career.
