Biography

The amazing and talented Romina Arena has overcome adversity to become a true star. At the age of sixteen she suffered a vicious attack at the hands of a jealous entertainer in Italy who lured her into his dressing room ostensibly to thank her for "saving" a concert in which she had performed as an opening act. There he proceeded to scream at her for "humiliating him", beat and kicked her repeatedly and then cut her throat severing her vocal cords. The attack rendered her comatose for more than 18 months but she completely recovered to become a European superstar. She was told by her physicians that she would never be able to sing again but not only did she fully regain her vocal abilities but a strange side effect of the attack was that she developed an extraordinary five octave vocal range as a result of the trauma to her pharynx.
