Along this globetrotting journey, Angelo has contributed to projects that reached the Billboard charts and even earned Guinness World Records. His former band Liquid Blue—which holds the world record for being the most traveled—gave him the surreal opportunity to open for legendary acts like The Beach Boys, Joan Jett, Berlin, and The Knack.

Today, Angelo continues to pour his heart into his craft. He is currently playing with the newly reformed PhunkYard, the L.A. jazz/funk fusion band he originally founded back in 2013. After a vibrant initial seven-year run—highlighted by their 2018 album Live at Molly Malones—the group has reunited to bring their signature groove back to the stage.

Throughout his career, Angelo has felt honored to play on stages ranging from intimate local jazz clubs to iconic venues like The Cow Palace, Petco Park Stadium, the Playboy Mansion, and various House of Blues locations. The universal language of music has also allowed him to connect with audiences through live television, including unforgettable broadcasts on Australia’s Ten Network and CCTV China, where his performances reached over 60 million viewers.

He remains deeply grateful for the chance to collaborate, record, and tour with an inspiring roster of artists. This includes Grammy-winning musicians like bassist Kevin Cooper and saxophonist Rick Rossi, as well as the Nelson Twins and a variety of high-profile Southern California artists. His roots in television also include serving as the original house drummer for Melbourne’s popular music and culture show, Noise TV, where he worked alongside Australian talents like Babba, Tracy Bartram, Frank Holden, Denise Drysdale, and Marie Wilson.

A proud endorsee of Sabian Cymbals since 2001, Angelo believes that the journey of a musician never truly ends. Whether he is laying down tracks in a studio session, embarking on a short tour, or playing a local live show, he is always looking forward to the next groove.
