Comments about the artist's music

song excerpts:

volare (nel blu dipinto di blu)

quando quando

caruso

'o sole mio

Joan Mangum, Beverly Hills Courier - "In one of the best orchestrated fashion shows I've ever seen, the parking lot was turned into one big party area where models playfully walked the runway while being serenaded by Marco Missinato (great Italian sounds and songs...very romantic.)"

Tom Kidd, Music Connection - "We also liked 'Nonnie Bruce & the Power She Calls Love' because it features the music of composer/ singer/musician Marco Missinato, whose indie release Nostalgia we also enjoy."

Todd Everest, Daily Variety - "The music (accompanying 'Nonnie Bruce & the Power She Calls Love') played live by synthesist Marco Missinato aids invaluably to the atmosphere."

About the artist
Marco Missinato brings a passionate new vocal and instrumental sound from his native Italy to the shores of America. His uniquely sophisticated and poignant melodies distinguish him from other contemporary European artists.

Born in Pordenone, Italy, a small town not far from Venice, Marco was raised in Rome. A self-taught musician, he began playing the piano and composing music at the age of six. In 1991, Marco came to Los Angeles to study at the Musician's Institute in Hollywood. Since coming to LA, Marco has performed his music with various artists and producers including the theatrical production, "Nonnie Bruce and the Power She Calls Love," starring Sally Kirkland, which highlighted his original material. Marco's instrumental composition "Missing Helena" has been heard on Spelling Television's popular Fox series "Melrose Place" and the ABC soap opera "Port Charles."

Marco's instrumental album entitled "Nostalgia" is a winning collection of original compositions rich in texture and captivatingly romantic in mood. In his second independent album, Marco makes his singing debut, performing original compositions in English and Spanish. "My music and my songs truly reflect who I am," Marco explains. "We all build walls around ourselves. Music is the medium that allows us to transcend those walls, letting us discover and share our feelings with the world."
