A dying breed comes to life!
Henry Monzello started to study music at the tender age of five. He learned the piano from his grandfather and performed his first piano solo when he was seven years old. By the time he was ten he had sung and played on different television shows and was the star of elementary school, junior high school and high school. He managed to work his way through college by performing here and there and then finally moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where he was exposed to the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and many other top performers of the time. After a few years in Vegas and some other spots in the U.S. Henry performed on some major cruise lines and then after a ten- year performance in South East Asia where Osaka, Japan was his home base he made his way to Europe. Since 1996, Henry has been performing around Europe with great success.
It would be safe to say that Henry has show business in his blood. He comes from a famous show business family that performed as the Flying Monzellos in Barnum and Baileys Greatest Show On Earth. Henry has a rich background in training and experience and very few performers can match his repertoire and professionalism. Henry sings in five languages and performs Classical, Jazz, Rock and Roll, Blues, Pop, Country and Western, Boogie Woogie and Ragtime all without the use of any technological support. I believe that when you hear Henry Monzello perform you are listening to a slice of class and elegance with a rough edge on it that suits the more modern listener alike.
I was so astounded by him that I convinced him to let me write this piece on him, and it turns out, that not only was I impressed by his voice and playing ability, but also by his general heart-warming attitude. Henry Monzello is also a really nice guy

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I am not really sure other than to say that it gives us an outlet where none existed before. It also allows less talented and less professional people an avenue to try and make it big. I'm not sure that is a good thing yet and maybe the jury is still out on the whole idea. I guess the most noticeable change is the fact that the recording companies are losing out a little.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah right! for as long as I have been plugging away in this business....I mean like...people talk about paying dues before making something big happen in this business and I figure I should have finished paying those dues a long time ago and I'm still paying them. So......bring on the contract!! I'm ready.

Your influences?
I was raised on classical music but started listening to sixties rock and roll in Junior High School. While I was performing in Japan I got infected with Jazz and so these days I am sort of multi-influenced and I guess that comes out in the tunes that I write.
Favorite spot?
Weggis on lake Lucerne Switzerland
Equipment used:
I have used alot of different gear over the years but currently I use my workhorse Korg T1 and a Yamaha P90 for road stuff. I use a Boss1600CD for recording with craft speakers. I always play solo piano on the gigs that i do so there is no need for technology and the sound system and grand piano is provided.
Anything else...?
I like to play golf but I am terrible at it.
