About Me

Born "Mimmo Joseph Gatti " on April 2nd 1963 my father was killed in a car accident, just months before I was born, mum finally re-married in 1971'The early years were not easy, my stepfather never quite took me in as a son...its best to forget my music passion then as a growing child was, suppressed by an unhappy life, constantly trying to survive. at the age of 13 I finally left home, so I'm much today still young at heart,and trying to do what I missed out all those precious years.Currently I'm strumming away, puttin down songs, and playing at local small venues, when the opportunity comes around... and appearing at song festival's and annual events such as xmas carols etc.
I've Performed in various bands over the years, from early Rock'n'Roll to The Hard Rock scene of the 80's...Moments to Remember would be 2002/2003/2004/2007 Italian song festival held in melbourne By Claudio Parente Of Clap Records and Promotions. over the 4 years released 6 songs in total all avaliable on CD's"E' Nata Una Stella 2002" (2003) ( 2004 ) and now ( 2007 )Bands that I fronted as lead singer over the years were: Studio Steal (1985-86 ) Spindrift (1986-87 ) Az Iz ( 1987 - 89 ) Loading Zone ( 1991-92 ) The JA CATZ ( 2005 )
I'm a father of four, a Salesman By Day, a Dreamer, A Singer/Guitarist/Songwriter, (Hoping to write that one song) I'm a lover not a fighter, but don't cross my path on a bad day... I would do anything for a friend, Although true friends are hard to find.Well I guess that sums up a little about me,Fav Singers: Elvis Presley/Bobby Darin Fav Band: The Beatles Fav Movies: James Bond all/Elvis movies/any 50's and 60's musicals. martial art movies/Die Hard thrillers and action... Fav Car: My 1959 Tank Fairlane...( Yeah the one that was taken from me )with a little Faith maybe some Hope.. My "Angie '59" will come back HomeOnly I know the sadness I've gone through since my car was taken from me now a year ago, for some twisted corrupted case. all I can do is wait..and sing the Blues..Music is a part of my life...without it...I'd be lost.. and remember...YOU HEAR WHAT YOU SEE....
