Career edit
Da Vinci was born in New York City as his father Mario Da Vinci, singer and interpreter of the Neapolitan skit, was engaged in a tour in the United States where he was joined by his mother.
He first performed in front of a paying public when he was just six years old. In 1976 he made his debut in the world of music by recording, in duet with his father, the song Miracolo 'e Natale by Alberto Sciotti and Tony Iglio, from which an homonymous skit was taken. In 1977, together with his father Mario, he made his theater debut with the plays Caro papà and Senza mamma e senza padre.
