Music like Nicola Ciccone

Nicola Ciccone is a Canadian francophone singer-songwriter, novelist and writer of Italian origin, based in Quebec. His songs have been in English, Italian, French, and Spanish. To date, he has released seven albums, nominated for many ADISQ, CRIA and Juno prizes and has authored two novels, L'Étoile enfant and Dans les yeux d'Ophelia and an autobiography Cuore.

Ciccone was born very prematurely, with the doctors giving him just 5% of survival, as he recounts in his autobiography titled Cuore. Born to Italian parents originating from Abruzzo in south Italy, he lived in the Mile-X quarter of Montreal, at the time a very poor quarter of Montreal's Petite-Italie (Small Italy) region. His father died when he was very young, and he was a victim of bullying at school.
