The Relentless Independent: Frank Palangi

Frank Palangi is an independent hard rock recording artist, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist based in Upstate New York, dedicated to the principle that "Rock Isn't Dead." Since starting his musical journey in 2006, Palangi has cultivated a sound characterized by his deep, gravelly, and powerful vocals set against a backdrop of driving, post-grunge rock and heavy rock n roll. His musical style draws inspiration from the past 40 years of rock evolution, nodding to the foundational sounds of Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, and Def Leppard, while resonating with the post-grunge energy of Creed, Daughtry, and Shinedown.

The artist's mantra, "I have no plan B in backing down on my dreams," reflects his relentless work ethic and positive outlook, a mindset he developed after turning to creative outlets like music and film during a childhood of managing health issues. Palangi's conviction and high-energy performances have consistently landed him major opportunities, including opening slots for national acts such as 3 Doors Down, Red Sun Rising, Buckcherry, Candlebox, Aaron Lewis, Starset, Jack Russell's Great White, TRAPT, FUEL, Kip Winger & many more.

Self taught from the age of 13 from watching the film "The Crow" motivated him. "I was a shy kid with health issues growing up with no sports so I turned to creative outlets instead like music and film. Learning from DVD's (early days of the internet) TV interviews & live shows from the past decades, I knew I wasn't going for the typical drinking, smashing hotel rooms rocker lifestyle that it is known for. I could focus more on the music, , the career, the fans, and the drive to expand and of course have that rock n roll feeling of standing up for yourself."
