2. Born in Brooklyn, New York to Italian American parents, he had a normal life until Joe decided to enter a talent show. It was when he was aged 16, when
his road to super-stardom began.
American 'New Faces' saw Joe demonstrate his singing skills in front of a willing audience. He was clearly talented since one of the judges offered him a
recording contract on the spot.
After having what they like to call in the industry 'a string of hits', Belcastro was unleashed on UK music lovers. His single, ‘Obsessed with love' managed to
reach number two in the charts and give him the impression that people actually had taste. They didn't.
All good things come to an end, and Joe shuffled back to his home in with his tail between his legs when his popularity dried up. And that was that, the
end of the story. Or so everyone thought.
Joe Belcastro was announced as one of the contestants on ITV's 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!' for the 2004 series and made a 'hit single' for a song
called ‘Insania’., where he topped the US and UK charts for 8 weeks running.
Joe Belcastro fan base usually revolves around young female teenagers to older woman in their mid 40’s.
