he was 10 years old when he tried out for
a school talent show. Was stopped half
way through the song and told he wasn't
good enough.
- At the age of 14 Aldo tried out for the
school choir. After the audition, the
teacher told him he didn't fit in with
his kind of singing and suggested he
choose another class.
- At 19, Aldo attended a local carnival
where a band was prompting audience
members to come up on the stage and
sing. After encouragement from his
friends Aldo took the stage and thrilled
the audience. This was one of a few
key events that changed Aldo's life
forever. Through the next four years
he would join or form several bands,
performing at private parties and for
family and friends.
- In 1990 at the age of 23, Aldo began his
professional music career. From this
point on he would form bands marketing
his own name, building a huge following
throughout Cleveland and Northeast Ohio,
and molding the sound and style that
would inspire later recordings.
