Il Divo Profile

Formed:  in London, England

Il Divo put a fresh face on popular songs, utilizing their exceptional voices, good looks, and cultural diversity to bring their romantic blend of classical and pop music to audiences around the world. Formed after a two-year search, the quartet is comprised of American tenor David Miller, popular French singer Sebastien Izambard, Swiss tenor Urs Buhler, and Spanish baritone Carlos Marin. Their eponymous debut album was released in April of 2005 and featured a diverse play list that included a cover of the Toni Braxton hit Unbreak My Heart and the Frank Sinatra standard My Way, as well as Nella Fantasia, a newly arranged -- with vocals -- version of Gabriel's Oboe from Ennio Morricone's score for The Mission. It became a massive world-wide hit, and the quartet returned in 2005 with Ancora, a ten-track collection of new music featuring the hit I Believe in You with Celine Dion. The similarly themed Siempre arrived in 2006, followed by Promise in 2008. 2011's Wicked Game, the group's sixth studio album, featured ten new tracks, including Don't Cry for Me Argentina, Come What May (Te Amore), and a reworking of the Chris Isaak-penned title cut. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
