Tip the Artist

Artist Bio

Frank Palangi, an independent rock musician hailing from upstate New York, who is dedicated his work to proving that "Rock Isn't Dead." With a powerful gritty voice and dynamic, energetic performances, he has made his mark on the SMR secondary market Rock Charts and opening for national acts through the years. Frank inspires his fans to pursue their passions while showcasing his exceptional guitar skills. He is also committed to using his music to support charitable initiatives. A versatile artist, a "millennial" for terms sake, he engages in recording, mixing, producing, radio DJ and teaching guitar, navigating the evolving music landscape with determination. Palangi's musical tastes tips the hat on the past 40 year evolution of the 80s & 90s rock & post grunge genres mixed with heavy metal. Influenced by bands from the 80's (Metallica, Ozzy, Def Leppard, Megadeth), 90's (Creed, Godsmack, 3 Doors Down, Drowing Pool), 2000's (Daughtry, Three Days Grace, Shinedown, Hinder). The big choke in the music business is that you think you'll become an over night success fast, that's not the case. Frank with having an admirable stubbornness tenacity to keep progressing knows it's relentless work and expecting rejection.

"I have no plan B in backing down on my dreams."

Self taught from the age of 13 from watching the film "The Crow" motivated him. "I was a shy kid with health issues growing up with no sports so I turned to creative outlets instead like music and film. Learning from DVD's (early days of the internet) TV interviews & live shows from the past decades, I knew I wasn't going for the typical drinking, smashing hotel rooms rocker lifestyle that it is known for. I could focus more on the music, , the career, the fans, and the drive to expand and of course have that rock n roll feeling of standing up for yourself."

"Palangi’s positivity extends beyond his music into the way he interacts with his fans. " -Guitar World Magazine

"When a freak accident made him loose his studio and almost everything else, this would cause some people to roll over and give up, but not Palangi, he channeled that energy into his career." - Powerplay Magazine
