Early career

While attending St. Elizabeth Catholic High School[7] Panetta collaborated with classical vocalist Natalie Choquette[8] for her record "Terra Mia"[3][9] and that same year performed at the Beaches Jazz Festival in Toronto making him one of the youngest performers to ever take the stage at the event.[5]
