Steven Maglio — artist
Steven Maglio was born in East Harlem, N.Y. on December 25, 1958. In 1966, his family moved to the Bronx, and being the new kid on the block, he walked back and forth to school alone for the first few weeks. He heard a recording of Frank Sinatra singing MY KIND OF TOWN, and to pass the time on his new daily trek, he would sing the song to himself over and over. After a few days, he decided he needed another song and began to explore the only Sinatra album his parents owned at the time, A MAN AND HIS MUSIC. That was the beginning of his addiction to Sinatra and that whole world of standard songs and singers. His professional career began on June 19, 2002, at the age of 43, as male vocalist for Joe Battaglia and The New York Big Band, playing at TAVERN ON THE GREEN and THE RAINBOW ROOM. Steven is NOT an impersonator, but he's so reminiscent of Frank Sinatra in voice and style, that contemporaries consider him to be the world's premier Frank Sinatra tributeer. Every Saturday since 2004, with an 11 piece orchestra, Steven performs his Sinatra tribute show at THE CARNEGIE CLUB (currently the longest running nightclub act in New York City) and has been critically acclaimed by the NY Times, NY Post, NY Daily News, Variety, Newark Star Ledger, Epoch Times, The New Yorker & New York Magazines, Cabaret Scenes, British Vogue, Oggi, BroadwayWorld.com, The Kennedy Family, and most of the cast of The Soprano’s.
