Personal Records: Michael Imperioli

What are the songs that define you? The songs that say the most about who you are?

This is a new feature on World Cafe called Personal Records, where we ask interesting people — musicians and non-musicians alike — to share a playlist of songs that hold the key to who they are and what they do.

Today, we’re asking Michael Imperioli.

You may know Imperioli from his Emmy-winning performance as Christopher Moltisanti on The Sopranos. He also starred in Season 2 of The White Lotus and currently appears in the TV series Memory of a Killer.

He’s also a musician with his band, ZOPA, and has written plays, television episodes and a novel, The Perfume Burned His Eyes, about a young man in New York City who befriends Lou Reed.
