It was a frenetic afternoon. Three deadlines to be met, the
ceiling sprinkler system exploding into a maze of water now
covering a section of the green marble floor - seemingly
blending into the symphonic sounds of the on-going ringing of
phones - perhaps more like the heaviness of Beethoven's 5th.

As it happened, one of the calls was from my brother Paul in
Orlando. "I've just sent you a link to a new voice that's wanting
me to manage him." "But," I said, "have you not handed
management over to others because of overloads in producing?"
"Click on the link and…." I hadn't even heard the rest of his
sentence. "Sign him," I said. "What did you say?" "SIGN
HIM! My God, this voice is one of the most phenomenal
voices I've heard in a life time!!"

Tomorrow's Tenor Superstar, Fernando Varela, was signed and
reborn. And I? Why I brag about this wonderful guy and carry
the brilliance of his latest CD wherever I go.

Many years ago when Fernando and his parents, Julio and
Margarita, relocated to Central Florida, Fernando's vision was
one dream only. But with no training and limited funds, he
realized that this dream could become a roulette table with very
few chances to succeed: he wanted to become one of the greats.
He wanted to be a classical singer.

Many years ensued under the direction of his very talented
father, who critiqued his every move. Each performance
became better than the previous, until one day in 2005. While

 

Fernando was feature performing in The Puerto Rican Day
Parade in New York City {produced by Walt Disney World
Entertainment and televised internationally on Telemundo} he
was invited to study with the Metropolitan Opera's assistant
director, Joan Dornemann and her prestigious staff of coaches
in San Juan, Puerto Rico: his dream accomplishing a major win
on the roulette table.

In 2006, Paul had learned of Fernando and had booked him for
part of an event he was producing in Orlando. Fernando was
so impressed with Paul that he challenged himself. He vowed to
work even harder and become "among the best" tenors in two
years! Then, he would convince Paul to manage him. And he
did!

In August of 2008, Fernando signed for personal management
with Paul Mascioli, president of the highly sought after
Mascioli Entertainment Corporation in Orlando. In the
past seven months Fernando has recorded a new CD and has
performed statewide and internationally including a private
performance for some 50,000 guests of Spiritual Master Shri
Satpal Ji Maharaj in Haridwar, India.

Today, Fernando Varela's future is in the stars! He's a
phenomenal talent with a heart that surrounds each song he
performs; his charisma enfolding his audiences; his music
uplifting the soul; with an evening of his music becoming a
memorable experience.
