About Me

Ciao!
Benvenuti su Musical Mafia Manifesto on MySpace!
... Musical Mafia Manifesto official website is a "springboard" website to introduce you to the best in alternative rock bands from Italy. Check out their profile pages, and follow the links. In addition, there are a few album reviews.Dope Stars Inc. reviews get so long I decided to have a review page just for them as well. So, check out the new page in MMM and read about the fantastic new DSI album GigaHearts! Also, there are some rather unique interviews conducted with: Kubrick, Brian Wolfram, Marco V. of XP8 and Unter Null, DaMaze of Blank, Snuff 238 Mazend of T3chn0ph0b1a and Lex Chaos of Latexxx Teens. You will also find most of the Artists in MySpace. Look through my whole friends list to also find [in}HumanDolls, Syrian, CyberTron (also check Mental Siege in Top Friends for CyberTron) and a few of the individual members of various MMM Profiled Artists.
Also in my top friends, I have included excellent services for musicians!
PROMOTIONS & SUPPORT: Synthetic Dawn, Obscure R'n'R and Alkemist Fanatix.
AUDIO/ VISUAL: European musicians wanting excellent services which are based in Italy can also find in my top friends: an uber cool recording studio and record label- both SubSound - and the best music video folks Wormwood Factory. Wormwood created the fantastic DSI "Overdriven" video back when Brian Wolfram was still part of the DSI line-up.
BAND PHOTOGRAPHY: You can't go wrong with Viviana Bernardi (HolyWood). Her work is phenomenal! Past works include fotos for Dope Stars Inc, My Sixth Shadow, Brian Wolfram, etc.
CD COVER ART: My top recommendation is Grace Khold of Ministry of the Sign!
It is my hope that these listings will help you in your artistic endeavours!
Keep Rocking!

ON CREATIVITY
The man who follows the crowd
will usually get no further than the crowd;
The man who walks alone is likely to find himself
in places no one has ever been before.
Creativity in living is not without its attendant difficulties, for peculiarity breeds contempt
and the unfortunate thing about being ahead of your time
is that when people finally realize you were right, they'll say it was obvious all along.
You have two choices in life:
You can dissolve into the mainstream or you can be distinct.
To be distinct, you must be different.
To be different, you must strive to be
what no one else but you can be.
