Divo, Italian for "star or celebrity", is a multinational operatic pop vocal group created by the music
manager, executive and reality TV star, Simon Cowell. Il Divo is formed by Carlos Marín, Urs
Bühler, David Miller, and Sébastien Izambard. The idea behind Il Divo's creation came to Cowell
after listening to Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman's rendition of Con te partirò, he decided to
form a multinational quartet (the members are from Spain, Switzerland, France and the United
States) that tried to recreate the style of The Three Tenors. Simon Cowell conducted a worldwide
search for young singers who were willing to embark on the Il Divo project which lasted two years,
from 2001 until December 2003, when the fourth member of Il Divo, American tenor David Miller,
was signed.
The well-established formation of Il Divo comprises a renowned Spanish opera and Spanish
baritone, Carlos Marín; two classically trained tenors, Swiss Urs Bühler and American David
Miller; and a French pop singer, Sébastien Izambard. Il Divo sings in English,Italian, Spanish,
French, and Latin.
