Joe Barbieri

Aside from his musical talent, guess why he was chosen to replace for Massimo? Because he comes from the same region and speaks the same dialect! (Oops..kidding!) Was born in Napoli, 14 December 1973, Giuseppe "Joe" Barbieri is well known as a talented singer, musician, and composer. As Massimo's substitute, he had an uneasy and uncomfortable task. Massimo had had his own fans and many fans said Joe wasn't the right person to replace him. But after seeing that Joe sang in his own style, without adapting any of Massimo's, the fans began to like him. Even Joe once was one of the most favourite members in Neri per Caso!
