On this day, the 103rd anniversary of the great Italian-American tenor Mario Lanza’s birthday, the Voice Detective wishes to pay tribute to him. He was dubbed by Arturo Toscanini as “the greatest voice of the 20th century”1 and his glorious voice influenced every tenor that followed thereafter.

Being a buddying tenor himself, The Voice Detective AKA Gyaan Lyon commemorates this great artist and humbly propels his own voyage of vocal and performing discovery out into the World Wide Web with the launching of his website voicedetective.com. His mission being to bring information and entertainment about his own personal vocal journey of voice investigation and all things singing, opera and stage to those who love singing and the vocal art.
