Matt Ranaudo -- a singer-songwriter living in Los Angelos -- and 20 other young, single musicians made their debut Monday night on "Listen to Your Heart."
The idea is that cast members, living together in a mansion, will connect over a shared love of music.
"Think The Bachelor meets A Star Is Born," ABC president Karey Burke told Heavy.com
Ranaudo, formerly a standout pitcher at Joseph A. Foran High School and the University of Bridgeport, forfeited a career in sports after nearly losing a leg, he said in an interview with the Connecticut Post.
That's when he found music.
"Listen to Your Heart" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
