Electric, one-of-a-kind, and bursting with talent — that’s how the audience at NYC’s iconic venue, Don’t Tell Mama described the unforgettable performance by singer-songwriter FABRIZZIO, who launched the official music video for his debut single, Hard 2 Forget, during a night filled with emotion and drama.
The live show preceded the screening of his visually stunning, cinematic-style music video and unfolded in four acts of “pop theater”, merging dark pop elements and themes of heartbreak — the core of FABRIZZIO’s artistic identity.
Thanks to his captivating vocals and commanding stage presence, the Peruvian-born artist brought to life a pop persona he calls The Alter-Ego. Through this character, he told a powerful, emotional story entirely through music and performance. On stage, he was joined by fellow artists Kyle Parks, Skye Stauffer, Mikeal Campbell, and Darci Garibay, alongside dancers Jamie Camejo and Valeria Soler, who added depth, movement, and intensity to the experience.
Although Hard 2 Forget marks his official debut, FABRIZZIO is far from new to the spotlight. Born in Lima, Peru, he began his artistic journey as a child with the National Children's Choir of Peru, which took him across America and Europe, singing in historic venues like the Duomo of Milan and St. Peter’s Basilica.
Over time, his passion led him to explore music production, theater, and on-camera acting, landing roles in Peruvian TV series like Los Milagros de la Rosa, Al Fondo Hay Sitio, and Brujas. He also starred in commercials and stage musicals, including a standout performance as Tony in the Peruvian adaptation of West Side Story.
Fully committed to his craft, FABRIZZIO later moved to New York City to study at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA), where he received a full scholarship and intensive training in vocal technique, acting, and dance.
Hard 2 Forget was written when FABRIZZIO was just 14 years old, originally conceived as a heartfelt letter to a friend stuck in the pain of an unresolved breakup. Years later, that melody came back to him — this time fueled by his own emotional journey. He reimagined and produced the song from scratch, now with the maturity and nuance of personal experience.
Blending indie rock, dark pop, R&B, and Latin pop, the track was elevated by Oscar-winning Peruvian producer Esteban Albán. The music video, shot in Lima with a crew of rising indie filmmakers, is a visually compelling piece that explores internal battles with fear, anxiety, and self-doubt, portrayed through shadowy symbolism and haunting imagery.
With a warm, expressive voice and a deeply original stage presence, FABRIZZIO captivated the NYC crowd and firmly planted his flag in the world of emerging Latin pop. His performance was a cut above a pedestrian live show - it was a theatrical experience, the birth of a character, and the introduction of an artist with a clear vision and unwavering dedication.
