Justin Gigliello is a classically-trained opera singer who hails from the town of North Stonington in Connecticut. His professional background includes his status as an alumnus of the Boston Conservatory at Berklee. Following the massive surge in popularity caused by the video, Gigliello found himself in the national spotlight, participating in interviews with several major media outlets, including appearances on Fox and the program hosted by Steve Harvey.
In an interview with his alma mater, the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Gigliello reflected on the public reaction to his appearance. Many viewers had expressed surprise that a man dressed in a football jersey possessed such a refined operatic voice. Gigliello embraced this irony, explaining that he often encountered similar reactions during his time at the conservatory. He noted that he has always loved sports and carried himself in a way that defied the traditional aesthetic expectations of an opera singer. He remarked that he believes this contrast actually enhances the reaction of the audience when he begins to sing, serving as a reminder that one should never judge a book by its cover.
The musical talent clearly runs deep within the Gigliello family. Lyla has shown that she shares her father’s passion for music, and the two have even performed together. Their collaboration includes a duet of “Part Of Your World” from the film The Little Mermaid, which is available for viewing on Gigliello’s official YouTube channel. As of the latest known status, Gigliello continues to maintain an active presence on social media and his YouTube channel, where he shares his ongoing work and musical journey with his growing base of supporters.
