Who is JoAnn Robertozzi?

I am an actress, producer, singer, and entrepreneur; mostly I am a New Yorker.   

A little background...

My early career was spent auditionng and performing in the theatre and was especially lucky in the musical theatre forum.  Miami, Florida became my second home for a number of years It was there that I worked as a commercial actress. This eventually led to a series of national and regional commercials.

Founder and Artistic Director of Ti Piace...

While in Washington, DC acting in an independant film, the director recognized that I was Italian American.  I suppose he saw something that I didn't and he suggested I begin a forum for Italians to connect.  In December 2005, I developed a forum for Italian Americans to network, create and explore our heritage and culture through art and music. I am Founder and Artistic Director of TI PIACE, ITALIAN AMERICAN PRESENTATIONS, a non profit organization based in New York - www.tipiaceusa.com  Ti Piace has been the recipient of numerous grants, namely from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). Our very first showcase on October 6th hosted a number of New York performers, one of which was the now famous Lady Gaga for which I had the pleasure of sharing the bill. 

Architect of Tre Bella: Three Beauties, One Voice...

Through the great medium of Ti Piace, I became the architect of Tre Bella, a three part harmony  Italian American girl group. We have been on tour the past few years in this great country entertaining and performing music in Italian and English -  www.trebella.us    

Composer of 5,000 Miles From Home documentary...

My recent project included scoring the music for the documentary film, 5,000 Miles From Home http://www.5,000milesfromhome.com/.  The film depicts the struggles and successes of Italian American WWII veterans.  Most of the crew of this great film were first time creators, including myself.  The film won a Bronze Telly for music composition. 5,000 Miles From Home has also been nominated in several categories for an Emmy by the Academy of Music and Sciences. Myself and my co-composer have been nominated for an Emmy for music composition!  

Current project...

In the interim, I am penning a musical based on one of the worst industrial disaster's in New York City's history - The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. Originally,  I was awarded a grant from a New York State Senator whose family members perished in the fire.  It began as a one act with music where it was performed in several venues in New York City. Click here for more info....
