Golden Boy

What happens when a Madonna fan becomes a pop sensation in his own right?
MadonnaTribe has had the pleasure to meet Ari Gold, the boy from the Bronx who has turned himself into a successful pop/R&B singer and a rising music star, that will be sharing with our readers “what it feels for a fan”.
Ari will be discussing with us how people like Madonna had an influence on the world in which we live in, in this exclusive interview which also premieres his brand new photoshoot, done during Ari’s recent European Tour, in charge of Marco Carocari.
What follows is a preview of this interesting interview. To read it in full click on the image below.

MadonnaTribe: Madonna has been a role model for many people, you can say she basically tells people to believe in their dreams and work hard to reach a goal in life. In what way she has influenced you?

Ari Gold: I really hadn’t heard anything about gay people until Madonna.
She definitely taught me that it was OK to express myself sexually any way that I wanted as long as it was consensual between adults. There was a point to everything she did. She made statements with her music and videos.

MadonnaTribe: You happened to actually meet Madonna backstage at the Rosie O’Donnel show.
How did it happen and how was it like?

Ari Gold: I wish it was more than it was! My friend worked on the show, I told her I liked her boots and she said “thank you” in that typical Madonna voice. Of course it made my day but I’m sure she doesn’t even remember! She is as tiny as they say she is. It’s pretty cool cause she appears so much larger than life in her photos and on stage and in video.
