SHORT BIOGRAPHY
(SEE THE LIST OF BANDS, PROJECTS AND RELEASES BELOW)
- I began my career as a musician, songwriter, and lyricist in the early 1990s, spending my first few years playing drums and singing simultaneously in amateur bands.
- My first „album-releasing” band was Stonehenge, with whom we released our album *Angelo Salutante* in 2001.
- Since then, I have released 11 albums, 6 EPs, and 2 DVDs, and I have also contributed to quite a few other releases as a guest artist.
- My main “instrument” is vocals, and I also play drums, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, flute, and didgeridoo (not all of them at a perfect level—the main goal was to be able to write my own songs with their help).
- In addition to my band activities, I work in several other music-related fields:
- As a vocal coach, I strive to provide personalized support to those who want to better control their voices, expand and refine their style, command the stage with greater confidence, and express even more emotion through their singing.
- As a producer, I can help bands ensure their songs sound exactly as they envisioned. I participate in recordings, offer advice on everything from performance and song structure down to the smallest details, and even produce finished audio tracks through mixing and mastering.
- As a composer, I create musical tracks according to the client’s needs. My “studio” has produced rock music, of course, but also pop, even techno tracks, symphonically arranged video game soundtracks, as well as advertising and film scores.
- As a ghost producer and ghostwriter, I write and produce songs tailored to other artists’ styles.
- When I have the time, I stream the entire process of writing, recording, and mixing songs live on my Twitch channel.
