... in his Blood.

An Early Start for Perry Rossi in the Music Business

Barely riding a bike, Perry's natural musical talents were beginning to show.  At age 2, his gift of Perfect Pitch was discovered by his Father, Sonny Rossi, a musician well into his career as bandleader at a leading New York hotel.  Perry began studying Classical and Jazz Piano and Clarinet (Sonny's main instrument).  His Vocal and rhythmic skills began to blossom, and he was composing original music.

With his Dad's resources and guideance, a nightclub act was soon developed featuring Perry as one of the youngest entertainers in the world.  By Age 4, Perry was featured at New York nightclubs, and made frequent television appearances.

His natural stage personality was such a hit with audiences that Perry's nightclub show expanded into the opening act for major headliners such as Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Jackie Mason, and dozens of others.
