Christopher Macchio was once a shy, hidden gem at Sachem High School whose rich voice used to echo through his Holbrook neighborhood when he would practice singing with the windows open. Now, known as “America’s Tenor,” Macchio, 46, was handpicked by President-elect Donald Trump to sing the national anthem for the inauguration at the United States Capitol. Trump has known Macchio for more than 10 years, first meeting him at Trump’s New Year’s Eve party at his Mar-a-Lago resort after another singer canceled. Macchio has also performed at funerals for Trump’s first wife Ivana Trump, and his brother Robert S. Trump in 2020. Link in bio to watch the full clip and for live updates from DC.
