Frank Palangi

When it comes down to the saying, "Rock Isn't Dead", Frank Palangi reignites the fuel on a genre that refuses to die. He is an independent rock musician known for his energetic performances and deep gritty voice. He's from upstate New York and has released several singles and albums landing on the SMR secondary market Rock Charts & LA Music Awards. Gaining a following for his motivation to follow ones passions, his powerful guitar work and personability as is recognized for his commitment to philanthropy, often using his music to support various charitable causes and highlighting his fans. "I have no plan B in backing down on my dreams." - A "millennial" for terms sake, wears many hats from recording, mixing, producing, video work, hosting interviews to teaching guitar lessons to make any sort of full time gig in this day in age of music living and extreme inflation. Palangi's style tips the hat on the past 30 year evolution of the 80s & 90s rock & post grunge genres mixed with a taste of heavy metal.

Where did Frank start? Influenced by bands from the 80's (Metallica, Ozzy, Def Leppard, Megadeth), 90's (Creed, Godsmack, 3 Doors Down, Drowing Pool), 2000's (Daughtry, Three Days Grace, Shinedown, Hinder), his natural talent for self learning from the age of 13 lead to him being a multi-instrumentalist. "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 net) 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 grow & learn and of course that rock n roll rebel yell feeling to stand up for yourself." The big choke in the music business is that you think you'll become an over night success fast, that's not the case. Frank with having an admirable stubbornness tenacity to keep progressing knows it's relentless work and expecting rejection.
