Frankie Moreno
To many , Frankie Moreno has been a staple in the music catalogue for years . To others , he is virtually brand new .
Moreno started as a child prodigy pianist and multi-instrumentalist . He was first introduced to American audiences at the age of ten with his debut on CBS ’ s Star Search . Twice-named “ Las Vegas Headliner of the Year ,” Moreno has been wowing audiences from coast to coast performing his new mix of original and classic hits with his vintage soul-pop sound .
Moreno is currently collaborating on new music with producer , engineer and guitar legend Pat Thrall , who has worked with artists including Katy Perry , Christina Aguilera , Beyoncé and Justin Bieber . “ Frankie is one of the most naturally gifted musicians I ’ ve ever worked with . We both share the same vision for his music , so it ’ s a fun and exciting process ,” says Thrall .
His performance on ABC ’ s Dancing with the Stars brought him into America ’ s living rooms again , performing his hit “ Tangerine
Honey .” This led to more television shows , magazine covers and sold-out concerts at venues including Carnegie Hall , the Kennedy Center and the Hollywood Bowl . He received an Emmy ® nomination for his national TV special Songs at Home and now has a nation-wide PBS special in steady rotation titled Frankie Moreno In Concert , which is capturing the attention of millions and leaving lasting impressions .
Moreno ’ s last collaboration for Sony Records with world-renowned violinist Joshua Bell reached Number One on the Billboard Charts in two separate categories . Other artists included on this album were Sting , Josh Groban , Chris Botti , Kristin Chenoweth and Regina Spektor . Together , they filmed Great Performances : Live at Lincoln Center for PBS . Moreno and Groban have since recorded another album together , which hit the Top Ten on Billboard , featuring Placido Domingo , Gloria Estefan , Allison Krauss , Chick Corea and many more .
Moreno toured the U . S . with Grammy ® - nominated artist Billy Currington and country superstar band Sugarland . Moreno also joined the multi-platinum group Air Supply for its world tour as musical director . He wrote the group ’ s recent radio single “ Dance With Me ,” which reached the Top 40 on Billboard .
