Meet America's tenor: How Christopher Macchio went from shy schoolboy to singing at Trump's Inauguration


America was introduced to a new talent when Christopher Macchio took the stand to sing the national anthem at President Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday.

The Long Island resident was described as a 'once shy, hidden gem... whose rich voice used to echo through his Holbrook neighborhood when he would practice singing with the windows open' as per Newsday. The now international singer discovered his talent only when he reluctantly joined his high school choir to fulfill a state graduation requirement, according to Newsbreak. The Long Island resident then went on to study classical voice at Manhattan School of Music and later made his professional debut on a PBS concert special.
