Before joining Boston, DeCarlo lived an ordinary life, working as a credit manager while spending his free time singing the band’s classic songs. Following Brad Delp’s death, he recorded tribute performances and shared them online simply to honor the singer he admired. He never expected those videos would change his life forever.
His performances eventually reached Boston founder **Tom Scholz**, who recognized something special in DeCarlo’s voice. According to the article, what Scholz heard was **”not imitation, but a voice that captured the same soaring emotion that defined the band’s sound.”** That discovery led to an audition, and soon DeCarlo became Boston’s new lead singer, stepping into a role many believed no one could fill.
