NEWSLETTER – OCTOBER 2011

Phil Naro is a Daytime Entertainment Emmy Award winning performer for singing the theme song for the cartoon “6Teen”, as well as an internationally acclaimed composer, singer, guitar player, songwriter and producer. Naro’s career began in his hometown of Rochester, New York at the age of fifteen. Naro is well-known for his amazingly powerful voice and his tremendous four-octave range. Naro’s first major musical opportunity was to go to Toronto, where he joined the popular band “Chain Reaction.” Naro is best known as the front-man for Billy Sheehan’s band, “Talas”. Naro performed with many of the 80’s top attractions: Yngwie J. Malmsteen’s Rising Force; Anthrax; White Lion; Quiet Riot; and Iron Maiden. Naro was discovered by respected producer Eddie Kramer who worked with Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and KISS. Kramer recommended Naro to Peter Criss, former KISS drummer, using two of Naro’s songs, “Bad People” and “Blue Moon over Brooklyn” on his 1995 release, “Cat 1.” Naro wrote songs for Lee Aaron's 1989 multi-platinum selling album "Body Rock" & provided his powerful voice in studio work with Grammy winning producer Tom Lord-Alge, known for his work with Billy Joel, The Cure, Steve Winwood, Marilyn Manson and The Rolling Stones. Being in the music industry all my life, I have been blessed and fortunate to work with so many great talents as well as being able to accomplish so many rewarding milestones in my career, even at this point in my life. The challenge of being able to successfully perform different styles of music for fans of all ages and having that “rush” while on stage. “It is all about the love for music.”
