Leipzig. At just the age of 14, Matteo Markus Bok is proving to be a true talent in music and entertainment. His natural habitat is the stage, on which he sings, performs instruments, dances, and recites with absolute spontaneity: his smile and his energy have conquered the admiration and affection of a numerous audience of teenagers, who have constituted the “Bokgang” to follow him everywhere live and on social media. Born in Milan to an Italian mother and a German father, he grew up in a multicultural environment: he speaks 4 languages fluently (Italian, German, English, and Spanish) and has attended international schools since he was a child. He made his debut at the age of 9 in the role of Simba, in the musical “The Lion King”, and has performed in other successful musicals. At the age of 12, he conquered the German public, arriving as a finalist for “The Voice Kids” in Germany, and last year he published four successful singles as “Sunshower”. Matteo started the year 2018 with first class artistic commitments. In January, Disney chose him as the opening act of the Italian tour of “Soy Luna” – a musical based on the homonymous TV series. Disney has now decided to reconfirm Matteo as the opening act of all “Soy Luna” concert dates in Germany, Slovenia, and Austria. Matteo is therefore ready to climb up onto some of the most important stages in main European cities: the first leg of the tour took place at the Mercedes Benz Arena in Berlin, with over 15 thousand tickets sold. The tour now prepares to travel to Austria and Slovenia, ending on April 8 at the Arena in Leipzig. (9Colonne)
