About Me

Little Bio of FRANK MINOIA (and other info on this page) (I hope "my English" is comprensible): From 1988 to III Millenium I played some instruments and/or arranged, composed, written and/or co-written, produced and/or co-produced, much artists and groups.
With my friend Paul Micioni my good work with the first two ALBUM/CD (as composer, arranger, performer, musician, etc.) of Marina Rei: "Marina Rei" and "Donna", 2 good albums for me... I was working before with my cousin Max Minoia and Corrado Rizza for much artists as Joy Garrison, for first house-garage sound, Melvin Hudson and much others. After little time good work with Joy Salinas (Angel Joy Salinas), with my big friend Claudio Donato (excellent EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) now Max 'n' Frank Minoia Productions, also nice work with Jamie Dee and Funk Revelation ( My best collaboration in all my life of musician was been with my brother FILIPPO in our experience of life and for AURORA MUSIC PRODUCTIONS. My best friend, singer & Artist he was Melvin when he was alive, (always alive in my heart...) FUNK REVELATION was been a very good groove project, me and Max was producing, arranging, and performing in 1994; I remember with big love (the lead female voice) Lady Candy McKenzie die in 2003 R.I.P. You can listen here these my 6 compositions with great interpretations ... I hope you like these SIX songs where I was playing BASS (my preferred instrument), KEYBOARDS, some note of ALTO and SOPRANO SAX & computer programming...
