The tears of Emma (which did not dry off but fell from the cheeks to the chin), the emotion of Mika (“I had lived so much in what you sang”), the amazement of Hell Mouse (“You have completely disarmed me”), the stellar prediction of Manuel Agnelli (“Your timbre and the magic in you can make you a great performer”). And today, tens of thousands of clicks on social media, hundreds of messages, phone calls to make the smartphone go crazy. Giuseppe Roccuzzo – 24 years old, Sicilian from Giarratana, just under three thousand inhabitants in the province of Ragusa – one of the revelations of “Audition” say «X Factor 2020», he lives in a bubble but, with his feet firmly planted on the ground, “tonight I will serve again at the tables” of the restaurant in Lugano where he works waiter. Next Thursday we will see if any of the possible competitors’ chairs will be yours.
Roccuzzo, the surname has remained a stage name. Why?
“Out of spite against my paternal grandfather. I am the only one of the few male grandchildren, about thirty, almost all female, who bears this surname. Today he is 90 years old and he still cultivates the land, he would have liked me to work in the fields too. But, apart from my degree in hospitality, music has always been my passion: Mom was called to sing at weddings, Dad plays the guitar well.
The emotion of the audition in front of the four judges.
“Fear, just fear. It is always the judgment of four artists from different musical origins: perhaps one is satisfied and the other is displeased.
Perhaps her sensitivity surprised you.
«They understood that I have weaknesses. And then I have always been shy, discreet, almost humble. My motto is ‘humility precedes glory’ ».
And it was glory.
“Let’s go slow. Of course, she couldn’t believe Emma was going to cry, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
Was it difficult to get here?
«It is the story of many young people who leave their land in search of work, so as not to weigh on the family, especially if they are in a difficult moment. The four children left, my three sisters and I: Claudia, my twin, Nadia and Noemi. We live in Luino, in the province of Varese, I work as a border crossing between Italy and Switzerland. But I had to play the ‘X Factor’ bet. ‘
“Promise me,” Elisa’s song that she proposed and made the judges so emotional, “is a very important song to me,” she said. Why?
“Because it invites us not to make fun of ourselves, to be ourselves, authenticity always pays off in the end.”
Would you like Elisa to write to you?
“It would be an honor. But also Mahmood or Francesca Michielin.”
Agnelli saw in her a great future interpreter. Not interested in writing?
«Actually I write too. Now I have a small production team and today a song of mine is coming out on Spotify and i-Tunes, “Let’s start over from here.” Soon the video will arrive on Youtube ».
Giuseppe Roccuzzo, in art Roccuzzo, where do you start again?
«I expect a lot from music. What is a passion but also a therapy: it is the only place in the world where someone like me feels safe.
