Ignazio, as part of the trio, went on to perform on major shows like American Idol, The Tonight Show, and Good Morning America, and they toured widely, earning international fame. Beyond singing, Ignazio is also musically talented in other ways. He plays the piano, bass guitar, and drums, and he once described music as something people breathe every day.
