Whenever I think of Marc Martel, co-lead vocalist for Downhere (another of my favorite bands) I think Freddie Mercury or Kevin Max. Marc's got this wildly cool and unusual voice, much like both of those singers..
But as you can see in the video above, he's a student of many styles of music, and his latest interest is opera. This video shows Marc explaining how he learned to sing, and then performing an operatic aria, Nessun Dorma. I always knew Marc was talented, but this just confirms it.
You can learn more about Downhere on the band's website.

Why is he wasting his time with pop-rock??? He should be singing opera full time -- he could be the next Pavarotti for God's sake! He's got an astounding voice for opera. If I see him at Kingdom Bound, I am going to insist he sings opera more than pop-rock-- he's just too darn good not to!!!
