Album Notes

Angelo, an amazing ten-year-old drummer from Detroit, first gained national attention by becoming one of the youngest winners ever (at age 8) on the TV show “America’s Most Talented Kids”. On the show, he gave a knockout performance of “Rock & Roll All Nite” by KISS in full KISS makeup. He has been featured on Metro Detroit news broadcasts for the work he has done playing at many charitable functions all over the Detroit area like Walk America, Heart Walk, Easter Seals, and the Lymphoma and Leukemia Foundation. In addition to his charity work Angelo has performed as entertainment on a professional level. In 2005 Angelo performed a set of KISS classics for a packed ballroom at the Chicago KISS Expo. In attendance was KISS drummer Eric Singer, one of Angelo's idols, who was amazed by Angelo’s performance. Angelo incorporates many styles of rock on his debut release "Pound For Pound", and not only performs all of the drum tracks but takes on all of the vocal chores as well. He co-wrote all of the songs with his dad, Joe, who also plays keyboards and guitars on the disc. The CD also has special appearances by guitarist Bob Halverson of the Bob Halverson Band and 14 year old bass ace Aaron Hayes of Dusk Decides Our Fate. Take a listen and see why this kid is "Pound For Pound" one of the best.
