Actually he's Italian-Dutch as you could guess from his name. I remember him being plugged by Paul de Leeuw in his late '80s VARA radio programme before he was famous and when he was still singing in Italian (this was many years before the hitsingle "Dromen zijn bedrog" was released). In the late '80s there was sort of an Italian music craze in The Netherlands with artists like Eros Ramazotti, Matia Bazar, Paolo Conte, Zucchero Fornaciari and Umberto Tozzi & Raf scoring hits. Borsato didn't manage to capitalize on that fad yet 6-7 years later he became a big star when he released his Dutch language album.

You are on glad ice when speaking Denglish. You must try to earn your spurs in the Hollands before you go giving the word to English.
