About Me

For those of you who don't know... I am Armando Claudio and I much rather prefer -MONDO-. I grew up on the southside of Chicago to a very musical family. My father Ray Claudio Sr. taught his children the beauty of the chord and it has yet to lose relevence to this day in my life. Since then we each developed a style all our own. I love to write and perform and tend to incorporate life's twists and turns into everything I do. So if you really pay attention you may just learn more about me then I would care to discuss but in a way its always been a therapy to me for years. I have been in many groups in my day each very unique and an education all their own, which I will list soon because many of those people have moved on to very significant projects and I like to boast... Yeah I played with them!! I have performed with groups from all types of sound and genre but I have come to a point where if I am to continue on I will need to attempt one of the biggest experiments of my musical existance and that is music solely of my creation. I have been terrified to try solo for many reasons, but mostly because I always needed to have the comfort of leaning on someone. I personally feel like in order to survive musically, and more importantly, in life... One must find that they can roll with the punches and adapt at the turn of a page. So here I am... and I present to you Reptilian! I am very excited to see what will come and I hope you all will enjoy!Be Good! -MONDO-
