The gifted vocalist is making a significant impact in the music industry because of her alluring vocal power and aptitude for fusing pop/rock and Opera. She stands out from the audience with passion and feeling. Nelia is a dynamic, modern singer with a captivating vocal power and melodic voice who is mesmerizing the audiences of all the world.
The beginning of her career started when she was a child, only 5 years old, playing the piano and performing in front of little audience by singing the theme songs of the cartoons. When she was 12 she started taking lessons by her vocal coach Annabella Rossi, a popular soprano.
After a while she met Edda Dell’Orso, the famous interpreter of sound tracks written by Maestro Ennio Morricone for movies like “Once upon a time the West“. Thanks to her teachings and to a long time experience on the stage, Nelia started winning the first awards in many national competitions.
In 1995 she became a member of the Italian Society for Authors and Publishers (SIAE) as author and composer, and she won the 2nd Award in one of the most important national competitions, that is the “Festival of Castrocaro” on the main national TV Station RAI UNO, performing an original song “Anni bui” written by her and her producer at that time Giampiero Artegiani * who was one of the most famous authors of Italian songs, such as “Perdere l’amore” by Massimo Ranieri. “Anni bui” was released with her first album “Carmen Corona” (which was her stage name at that time) published by Fonit Cetra and distributed by Sony Music in 1997.
Nelia recorded many hit songs such as “Memory” (Barbra Streisand), “Blowin’ in the wind” (B. Dylan), an Italian folk song “Sti’ Ccanzone” sung in Neapolitan dialect and many more.
Recently Nelia’s prepared an International Show, that is the “True Light Show” that she has been performing in 2022 in Italy and which started at “Teatro Ghione” in Rome (Italy) and registered immediately a SOLD OUT. She performed with the Italian Orchestra composed by 8 musicians, 5 backing vocals, 5 dancers and 1 popular Italian Tenor Massimiliano Drapello, and occasionally having as special guest the famous soprano from Poland Dominika Zamara with whom she’s been performing some duets in Opera, since she’s a pop singer but she has been studying also for performing as a Soprano. She has such a wide vocal range that allows her to easily afford the pop music as well as the Opera, switching from one genre to another one very quickly. And this is one of the peculiar aspects that gives to her shows that uniqueness that is so much appreciated abroad, such as in Europe, Japan, China, South America and mainly in the United States. Also a selection of original and ancient costumes (XVIII century) are worn by Nelia Ross and her Orchestra to remind people of the origins of the Opera and the Italian culture.
