Life and career

His first significant collaboration started when some of his compositions were chosen by Silvia Mezzanotte (lead singer of Matia Bazar) to be featured in her solo album "Lunatica" in 2008. The song "Non c'è contatto", in particular, was selected as the album's debut single which was accompanied by a video starring actress Carolina Crescentini. Emilio also arranged Mezzanotte's summer single "Nell'aria", as well as creating the live performance arrangements for her "Lunatica Tour", such as "Intro", "Sequencer" and other instrumental parts. Always in 2008, another one of his songs "Un tuffo nel vuoto" was released as part of the album "A24" by Pquadro: a duo hailing from popular TV talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi that figured among the winners at the 57th Sanremo Festival.
Later on, Emilio acted as co-author and arranger for their single "Anime di vetro", featuring the collaboration of Nomadi violinist Sergio Reggioli.

Emilio is also one of the few Tejano artists to have significant success in both the United States and Mexico, and has been called the "Garth Brooks of Tejano." His biggest country hit was the No. 27 "It's Not the End of the World" in late 1995, and his highest-charting single on any chart is "Por Siempre Unidos," which peaked at No. 7 on Latin Pop Airplay in 1996.

Early life

Emilio Navaira III was born on August 23, 1962, in San Antonio, Texas to Mexican-American parents, Emilio Navaira Jr., and Mary Navaira. Growing up on the south side of San Antonio, Navaira found early influence in not only tejano legends such as Little Joe y la Familia, Ramón Ayala, and Pedro Infante, but also Lone Star country music heroes such as Willie Nelson, Bob Wills, and George Strait. As a student, Navaira graduated from McCollum High School in 1980, received a music scholarship to Texas State University-San Marcos, and majored in music with plans to become a teacher before ultimately deciding to pursue a career as an artist.
