Austin Giorgio is a rising Italian-American crooner, pop and jazz singer, musician and song-writer. He’s particularly known for his warm tone, contagious personality and stand out performances on NBC’s The Voice. Born October 2, 1996, Giorgio was raised in Rochester, New York. His inspirations root from his father who sang all of the great American classics such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and the more modern Michael Bublé. At the age of ten he began taking piano lessons and continued up until thirteen only to realize he had more fun singing and performing to the crowd. His musical side was put on hold so that throughout high school and college, he could focus on forming a business. From that, came Bikelyf® and grew his competencies to running a business and how to genuinely connect with customers. During the first quarter of 2017, Giorgio revived the inner musician and posted several online videos of covering old classics and tunes that the young Giorgio once sang. Since then he has been fortunate to accept multiple singing opportunities in an array of venues, and, since 2023, has also released several EPs, singles and one album.
Boca Raton, 1954. She came from Naples with a voice and a suitcase. Miami didn't know what to do with either. A period romance set in 1954 Florida, La Luce follows Lucia Ferrero, 22, the daughter of a Neapolitan immigrant family who arrived in Boca Raton when Lucia was eight. She is a nightclub singer of extraordinary talent playing the small clubs of the Florida Italian-American community — too good for the rooms she plays, unable to access the rooms she deserves because those rooms are not for people who look like her world. When Miami's most important club owner hears her sing at a private party, the opportunity arrives — but it comes with conditions she didn't plan for, including a management situation that requires her to perform as 'Lucy Ferris' (Anglicized, sanitized) and an entanglement with Marco, a musician from Chicago who plays the club's orchestra and who loves her for the voice she performs and the person behind it simultaneously. The film is a celebration of mid-century Italian-American culture, a love letter to Florida's musical history, and an examination of what it costs to make yourself legible to an industry that prefers a version of you to you. Act One — The Community Hall Lucia singing for the Italian community, for free, for the love of it. The private party. Sid Marsh in the back of the room. Act Two — Lucy Ferris The Miami club. The Anglicized name. Marco watching her perform and watching her perform performing simultaneously. Act Three — Lucia The name on the marquee that matters. The film ends in Italian.
