Biography
Early life

Buanne was born in Naples, Italy, but moved with his family to Vienna, Austria when he was three years old. He was Franco and Alina Buanne's only child.

Buanne's father opened the first Italian restaurant in Vienna. Buanne grew up wanting to be a chef, but his father that said he would probably chop his hands off if he did. His father didn't want that kind of life for his son, always working six days a week. (Ironically, as a performer Buanne now works on most weekends.)

Buanne loved music from his earliest days. He listened to the music of famous Italian and Italian-American singers as a child in his father's restaurant, and when he was eight years old Buanne received his first guitar. At the age of eleven he made his first public performance at a talent contest; he went on to succeed in several singing competitions, and even won a trip to Graceland. He was seventeen when his father died from virulent cancer, and the grief ate away at him so much that he almost lost his own life to a perforated ulcer.

Still residing in Vienna at the age of twenty, Buanne's uncle invited him to move back to Italy. He attended a university in Rome and chose to study languages. read all
