Daniele Vitale is a talented saxophonist from Naples, Italy, who is blessing music-lovers across the globe by uploading his performances online. 

Last December, Vitale performed the infamous 'Hallelujah' on an Italian promenade and uploaded the video to his official youtube channel. His rendition of the song was breathtaking and captured the hearts of many from all parts of the world, with it being viewed more than 4 million times since its upload. 

Vitale, who has made a name for himself in his hometown of Naples, is accustomed to playing his saxophone for weddings, parties, and even international events. 

Typically, Vitale dresses up to draw attention to his music. Donned in black trousers, a red top hat, and a red floral jacket, Vitale often plays the Christmas season, soothing shoppers from their hectic errands and encouraging them to stop for a moment and take in the beauty of his music. The calm music appears to take effect immediately as people relax upon hearing it.

These days, Vitale has taken his music online. He first starting playing his sax alone online but has since combined his tunes with others from around the world, including performing a duet with a young female violinist, rising star Karolina Protsenko, from California. The video garnered two million views in its first 24 hours online alone.

"The music never stops," Vitale said of the online performance.

Even with all the newfound popularity online, Vitale is still best known by Italians for his riverside performances.

One of the most popular was one where he played the gospel favorite "Hallelujah" on his sax as crowds gathered around him to listen. It is a street performance he offered during one of Italy's Christmas seasons.

While those around the world can't see him on the streets of Italy at the moment, everyone can enjoy the "Hallelujah" performance online now. Cheer up your friends with a link to the performance and tell us what you think of this amazing talent in the comments!
