Botti performed with some of the most prominent musicians, from Frank Sinatra to Steve Taylor and Sting.

He proved that a brass instrument can really “sing” – just listen to him accompanying Sting in “Shape of My Heart.” Music and performances are truly his life as he is on tour around 250 days a year.

The Grammy nominated artist is not only talented but handsome – in 2004 The People magazine included him in their list of the 50 Most Beautiful People.
