While attending St. Elizabeth Catholic High School[9] Panetta collaborated with classical vocalist Natalie Choquette[1] for her record "Terra Mia"[5][10] 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.[7]
