By her own admission she says that coming to Las Vegas was an accident. “I was actually doing a lot in Phoenix and Scottsdale (AZ). We were doing a lot of work there with a particular band of mine when someone said to me 'you need to go to Vegas.' I was very happy in Scottsdale. I was working a lot, and we were doing some really nice things, me and my trio. I was supposed to get married, and my boyfriend said he was moving to Vegas, so I came here.”

When you watch Maggi's performance you will come to appreciate her need to be flexible. Maggi's first ambition was to act. “My singing career started late,” she said. “My background was theater.” Eventually she began singing in clubs. “I liked the spontaneity. It is not as rigid as theater,” she said. Maggi has made two CDs - “Just in Time” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.” Some of her favorite performances are her renditions of songs in which she shares many qualities and has the likeness of the “World renowned Italian-American singer Connie Francis.” Like Francis, Maggi is proud of her heritage and where she comes from.

“Yes, born and raised in Brooklyn. And, yes, Flatbush. It was exciting back then. Everything took place in the streets. We would do little shows. I think I was five years old, and I would sing on the stoop. My mother is the reason I sing today. My mother sang and wanted to get into the Metropolitan Opera House with her cousin. The cousin made it, my mother didn't. But the big thing with me is that my mother taught me how to sing. My mother taught me “O Marie” in the Italian lyrics, and she made me do it over and over, and then she took me down to the sidewalk to sing it to all the old ladies.”

If you are interested in good music and a great performer, then Maggi Albisani is definitely a great night out!
