Italian top level musician, teacher, songwriter and producer ALESSANDRO DEL VECCHIO has launched his new website, created by Anna Portalupi, where can be found all information related to his work as a musician, producer and singer. Check it out at this location.
More information on Alessandro and his work can be found also at his artist page, here, as well as on Ivorytears Music Works Recording Studio, here.
Read what Alessandro tells about his career:
In my career I’ve been fortunate to work with most of my idols who also happen to be some of the best musicians in the world. I don’t see myself as a singer or keyboardist, a songwriter or producer. I just see myself as a singer multi-instrumentalist, who writes and produces .
Besides working stably my bands Edge Of Forever, Hardline and Voodoo Circle as keyboardist and singer I have been producing, collaborating and writing with artists like Deen Castronovo, Neal Schon and Arnel Pineda from Journey, Fergie Frederiksen, Bobby Kimball, Joseph Williams and Steve Lukather from Toto , Ian Paice, Glenn Hughes and Roger Glover from Deep Purple, James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater, Jack Blades from Night Ranger and Damn Yankees, Doug Aldrich and Bernie Marsden from Whitesnake, Joe Lynn Tuner, Craig Goldy, Carmine and Vinny Appice, Russell Allen from Symphony X, Tony Franklin, Michael Kiske of Helloween , Bruce Gaitsch and Bill Champlin from Chicago and many more.
I work as in-house producer for Frontiers Records and I have albums out with labels like AFM, EMI, Universal, Nippon Crown, King Records, Marquee Avalon, JVC Victor as producer, mixing and mastering engineer, keyboardist, singer or songwriter.
I live in northern Italy where I run Ivorytears Music Works, my personal recording, mixing and mastering studio in which I have created most of the albums I have worked on.
I am the founder of the True Voice Technique and I am the national vocal department tutor of the biggest academy in Italy called “Lizard Accademie”. As a vocal coach I work with singers to find their true voice and have developed a system to train and graduate vocal teachers. I also do an average of 20 vocal seminars a year plus teaching professional levels in different academies across the nation.

ALESSANDRO DEL VECCHIO is involved in so many bands, projects, and in Music with all it’s flavours and genres, and to list them all would be impossible, but the videos below show at least a little part of them, check out:
Canada’s purist rockers ONE SOUL THRUST have issued via their Official Website that the band begins recording their third album at Studio 1ST in Edmonton, Alberta. Euro-production star, Alessandro Del Vecchio, will arrive in Canada from Italy to produce the project, fresh from his usual hard-hitting schedule of albums, tours, and working with an endless array of well-known rockers. Italian musician, Anna Portalupi, despite an equally hectic schedule, has been confirmed to play bass for the band again.
Upon completion of the album, there will be a contest to name it where fans can vote on their favourite of three contenders for the title.
ONE SOUL THRUST’s core consists of Salem Jones– vocals, songs, rhythm guitar, Jag Mollerup– guitars, vocals and Todd Pretty– drums, vocals. Portalupi has been with them long enough that it could be said she has earned a core spot. These musicians have worked with, been noticed by, and are respected by some of the most talented and well-respected of the rock world.

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of KELLY KEELING‘s new solo album entitled “Mind Radio” on July 3rd in Europe and July 10th in North America.
Kelly Keeling is a Louisiana-born multi-instrumentalist in high demand as songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, and producer. He began his musical career with Baton Rouge with whom he released 3 albums. Later he joined Blue Murder’s 2nd album, “Nothin but Trouble,” wrote and recorded 2 albums with John Norum (Europe) following extensive tours of Norway & Sweden. Keeling joined Heaven & Earth for “Windows to the World,” then 3 albums and world tour with Michael Schenker’s MSG, 4 albums with Carmine Appice’s Guitar Zeus, featuring legendary guitarists Brian May, Yngwie Malmsteen, Neal Schon, Slash, Zak Wilde, Steve Morse, Paul Gilbert, and Vivian Campbell. After 3 years as lead vocalist touring and recording with Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Keeling returned to independent projects including the recent album, Red Zone Rider, featuring UFO guitarist Vinnie Moore and Scot Coogan.
Amid all these collaborations, Kelly debuted as a solo artist with the album “Giving Sight to the Eye” which was released in March 2005, featuring Roger Daltrey, Denny Laine, Kerry Livgren, Carmine Appice & Tony Franklin. Now in 2015, Kelly Keeling is back with another solo album entitled, “Mind Radio,” which is produced by the very-much-in-demand Alessandro Del Vecchio (Revolution Saints, Bonfire, Graham Bonnet, Hardline etc.).
“This album is a culmination of the last 5 years on a journey to revive my old band amidst considerations of not playing music anymore for a while due to a much needed break” says Kelly. “But during the process I found direction, actually traveling and ending up all over the world on tour with Baton Rouge, and as a solo artist at various festivals and venues. This album Mind Radio is very honest, walking the listener through what I endured on this journey. I love my band. Alessandro Del Vecchio! What a genius that guy is. I’ve produced and been a part of many albums but this guy is so brilliant! What a great musician singer, writer, Producer and Brother to me. I’m so very happy to have him onboard as he surely simplified a focused direction, taking a load of effort off of me through a masterpiece of work which seems to have taken lifetimes to get here.”
With songwriting contributions from Robert Sall (RIDE OUT THE STORM, FROZEN IN TIME), VON GROOVE’s Michael Shotton, guitarist Mario Percudani and Del Vecchio himself. Musically and sonically, this is a brilliant Melodic Rock album showcasing the impeccable vocal talents of one of the most underrated Hard Rock singers of our time. Also included on the album are three songs written by Keeling together with his BATON ROUGE cohorts Jack Ponti and Lance Bulen (WRITTEN IN FIRE, MONKEY HOUSE and WHO DO YOU RUN TO).
Enjoy an album trailer:
“Mind Radio” tracklisting includes:
This Love Our Paradise; Isolated Man; Sunshine Over Me; Still Need You In My Arms; Written In Fire; Take Me To The Limit; Love Will Tear Us Apart; No Man’s Land; Frozen In Time; Monkey House; Ride Out The Storm; Who Do You Run To.
