Who is Francesco Galtieri?

Francesco Galtieri is a successful lyricist, composer & producer. He began songwriting at a very early age, after listening to classical, pop, rock, country & "commercial" music. He realised that the "art of songwriting" was his life.

Written specifically for the group and presented to music mogul Simon Cowell, the song was nominated to be the title track on their 'The Promise' recording which was released in November 2008.

Australia's newest opera voice, Mark Vincent has recorded the original track "Lying In The Silence". Lyrics written and music composed by Francesco Galtieri, it features on the Platinum Edition of his debut album released through Sony Music Australia 2009/2010. The song talks of the invisible but ever present energy of a higher power, and how it is intertwined in all that we see each day.
