Mario Anastasi

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My parents were very poor, ..so much so that my baby crib was on-top of an old gramophone and when I was 1 years old, I learnt to sing Doris Day's song Que-Sera-Sera. That was the beginning of my love for song and music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Gloria Estefan, The Essential Gloria Estefan Leonard Cohen, The Essential Leonard Cohen Simon & Garfunkel, The Best of Simon & Garfunkel Simon & Garfunkel because their music inspired me throughout my younger years, Gloria Estefan in my middle years and Leonard Cohen in my later years. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “My Love (The Wedding Song)” I wrote and sung this song for someone very special in the eighties, when i was in my my twenties and it still stands the test of time, ....emotionally. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When I put together the famous Latin Touch and performed live with my band on BBC1's Pebble Mill in 1992, which then snowballed into an amazing career. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes, would love to carry on writing/composing, recording, releasing and performing my songs to the world. Especially looking forward to the new release of my song, THANK GOD FOR WOMEN, inspired by the women in my life, mum, sister, daughters and wife
