Gaetano brings a unique blend of raw talent and passion for music. Gaetano has produced records for some of the biggest names in urban music; Fat Joe, Shaggy, Ryan Leslie, Bobby V, and Jack Thriller, to name a few. Says he, “World music has been my primary influence. When I was a kid, I’d listen to the Italian classics. You know, those old-school Napolitano songs with tons of heartache and pain behind them. Most of that music is written in a minor key, specifically A minor and D minor; two great keys for learning soul music.” Following that, Gaetano acquired deeper influence from the all-time greats. Andrea Bocelli, Carlos Santana, Bob Marley – to Michael Jackson, D’Angelo, Stevie Wonder, Babyface, Usher, and Pharrell. In an era of music that relies heavily on auto-tune and other tricks, Gaetano strips it down to the essentials. He showcases a soulful tone, stellar falsetto, and gorgeous electric guitar solos in his music. It’s the raw authenticity behind his approach that fans really connect with. Gaetano released his debut EP “Fade Away,” featuring production from Grammy Award Winning producer/songwriter Kaleb “K Quick” Rollins. The project also includes self-produced/written tracks from Gaetano. There’s a soulful and honest vibe carried throughout the entire album, and anyone who’s been on either side of love can relate and understand where Gaetano is coming from in his music. His sophomore EP “Acoustix,” was released in October 2015. This acoustic, duet-influenced project is quint-essential Gaetano at its finest. Listeners can anticipate a swooning falsetto, beautiful harmonies, melodic guitar solos, and overall a well-produced piece of authentic music that comes from the soul.
