A Berlin-based, Italian-born tenor, actor, and television presenter, Björn Casapietra (born Björn Herbert Fritz Roberto Kegel Casapietra in Genoa on February 18, 1970) most likely came about his performance and vocal skills through genetics, as he was the son of soprano Celestina Casapietra and conductor Herbert Kegel. After working in commercial acting and television, Casapietra released his first album, Casapietra, in 2000. Silent Passion followed in 2002, Meines Herzens Wahrheit in 2006, and Verführung in 2007. ~ Chris True
