About

Bill LaPiana is a formally trained vocalist, actor, and dancer who has been performing since early childhood. An Irish & Sicilian heritage has afforded him the tenor range and vocal qualities that have become well known attributes amongst tenors from both nationalities. His formal vocal training occurred in New York, under the direction of Virginia Greenan and included: traditional & classical music, Italian & Irish arias, ballads, folk songs, musical theatre, hymns, contemporary Christian and classic-rock (with properly supported notes, of course).


His involvement in multiple vocal groups & theatrical productions over the years has allowed him to participate in: TV specials and commercials, studio / CD recording sessions, and mainstream "secular" venues and stages from New York to Las Vegas.
In his late teens he sang the solo "It's A Miracle" for a youth music & dance group that opened for the OakRidge Boys at the MGM Grand Hotel's Crytal Palace Theatre in Las Vegas.


He spent his summer before college performing at the Six Flags Darien Lake Theme Park in the musical review "The Best of Times" which showcased the styles of music and dance from the 1920's - 1980's. During college he was casted to sing in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom with a group celebrating the U.S. Constitution, but instead met the love of his life & married one year later (yes, they spent a honeymoon in Disney!).


Since fully dedicating his life to Christ at a Promise Keepers conference in St. Petersburg, Florida's Thunder Dome on August 5, 1995 with 50,000 other men who were seeking to be better husbands, fathers, mentors, and leaders within their churches and communities..... Bill has been focused on using his God-given talents in singing, acting, dancing, conducting & directing for sharing the hope, peace & joy that comes from placing our trust in and having a relationship with Jesus Christ. He is available for all types of venues - with a focus on charities, fund raisers, medical facilities, missions, churches, and other worthwhile events !
