The next line of that song is “Fear is a powerful thing… it can turn your heart black.”  Lionel Rizzi is a man that lived seemingly without fear.  His effortless glide into stardom has been a beacon for emerging artists.  His smile has brightened the ears of countless listeners.  And his musical acumen has revitalized an industry struggling to find it’s soul.

It is with great sadness that I am announcing the death of Lionel Rizzi on the 23rd of January, 2015.  Full details of his untimely death are being kept secret for the sake of the family.  However, it is believed his death is the result of injuries sustained while on sabbatical in South America.
