Solo Voices - Anthony Mandarano - Believe

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with a passionate artist whose musical roots run deep—from the island of Lipari to the lounge rooms of Melbourne. With a childhood surrounded by the sounds of family, tradition, and timeless pop icons, our guest shares how music became a lifelong calling. We explore their early inspirations, the powerful influence of Madonna, and the emotional story behind their debut song “Smile Betty”—a tribute to resilience, family, and the strength shown during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Join us as we uncover the journey of rediscovery, healing, and the belief that it's never too late to follow your dream. This episode is a celebration of heritage, hope, and the power of song to unite generations.
