ROB MORATTI is a Hard Rock/AOR singer from Toronto, Canada. I remember his first solo album very well,
“Victory”, which was released in 2011 and I personally found it totally brilliant! Rob is one of Rock's
legendary voices, formerly of FINAL FRONTIER, ex-SAGA. “Tribute To Journey” is brand new and his second
studio release, featuring Rob’s take on his favorite JOURNEY songs. The album was released on March 20,
2015, and will be a limited edition of 1000 copies and all numbered.
I especially like the track “Ask The Lonely”, with the piano in the style of FOREIGNER. This song serves
energetic sounds coupled with great musicianship. “Any Way You Want It”, a popular number by the epic
band is very well done and executed. The song “Mother Father” really spotlights Moratti’s precise vocals,
underscored with some impressive guitar riffs and solo.
Rob Moratti is known for his vocal prowess…with his wonderfully rich voice that can soar into the
stratosphere. This is evidenced in the track “Don't Stop Believin’”...which has become an anthem of sorts
