Biography
Angelo started playing the guitar on his own at the age of nine.
As curious as he is gifted, he does not rule out any genre, integrating J.S.Bach with as much ease as D. Reinhardt or AC Jobim into his repertoire.
He joined the guitar class at the CNR de Saint-Maur where he obtained a first prize for classical guitar.
The decisive meeting with master Pedro Ibanez leads him to complete his training with him.
He also approaches Jazz with Pierre Cullaz and the Romanian composer Horia Surianu teaches him composition.
Approaching both a career as a classical concertist and a teacher, he subsequently formed several groups: Blues affair, Quintet à Swingue and quickly extended the field of his collaborations: with singer Richard Cross, Delphine Labey, Aranka…. Composer and orchestrator sought after for his excellent knowledge of classical music, Angelo places his work and artistic commitment in the world around him (support for young artists), but also with very confirmed musicians (regular collaborations with Franck Tortiller, vibraphonist composer and conductor, with composer Denis Uhalde since 2010).
