BIOGRAFIA:
Molto SINTETICAMENTE vi dico che ho collaborato in oltre 25 anni di carriera come musicista-produttore-arrangiatore-compositore, con tantissimi artisti più o meno grandi ma sempre artisti, da cantanti (Jenny B., Marina Rei, Joy Salinas, Melvin Hudson, Marco Conidi e tantissimi altri.) ad altri produttori o arrangiatori (Claudio Donato, Paolo Micioni, Corrado Rizza, Max Minoia, Filippo Minoia e molti altri.) fino a musicisti o addetti ai lavori (Tullio De Piscopo, Tony Esposito, Paulo La Rosa, Marco Siniscalco, Javier Girotto, Mario e Claudio Corvini, Gianni Savelli, Eric Daniel, Michael Brecker, Vanessa Crane, Giancarlo Ciminelli, Alessandro Canini, Federico Zampaglione, ecc. ecc. ecc. ecc. ecc. sono veramente tanti.).
Tra le mie produzioni-realizzazioni-composizioni e arrangiamenti spiccano gli album/cd di JOY SALINAS (co-prodotti con Max Minoia) sia il primo (contiene ROCKIN' ROMANCE) sia il secondo "BIP BIP" sia il terzo (contiene CALLIN' YOU LOVE), poi da solo i primi 2 album/cd di MARINA REI, intitolati MARINA REI (contiene AL DI LA' DI QUESTI ANNI, NOI, SOLA ecc.) e DONNA (contiene PRIMAVERA, DENTRO ME, DONNA ecc.) e SEMPLICE SAI di Jenny B. (che m'è valsa la vittoria a Sanremo 2000 sez. giovani)
Ho registrato più di 200 dischi tra mix remix CD single e CD album usciti in tutto il mondo totalizzando una somma di circa 1.500.000 copie vendute.
Ho vinto 2 dischi di Platino per le oltre 200.000 copie vendute (per ogni album) con Marina Rei e
ho vinto DUE PREMI DELLA CRITICA A SANREMO (come compositore delle canzoni AL DI LA' DI QUESTI ANNI nel 1996 e SEMPLICE SAI nel 2000) cosa prestigiosa quanto rara per un compositore
Questo ho fatto in SINTESI ma avrei da scrivere pagine e pagine. ciao!

Little Bio of FRANK MINOIA (and other info on this page) (I hope "my English" is comprensible):
from 1988 to the III Millennium I played many instruments and/or arranged, composed, wrote and/or co-wrote, produced and/or co-produced, many artists and groups.
I worked with my friend Paul Micioni (executive producer) for two ALBUMs/CDs (as composer, arranger, studio producer, performer, musician, etc.) of Marina Rei: "Marina Rei" and "Donna", personally I think they are 2 good albums. Before I was working with my cousin Max Minoia and Corrado Rizza for many different artists, such as: Joy Garrison, for first house-garage sound, Melvin Hudson and many others.
After a little bit of time and managed to do some good work with Joy Salinas (Angel Joy Salinas), with my big friend Claudio Donato & Silvia Villevieille Bideri (excellent EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS) now Max 'n' Frank Minoia Productions. We also did some nice work with Jamie Dee (2 album-cd) and Funk Revelation (a very "mysterious" CD, because it was released in 1996 BUT after 1 month the UJamm'n Label CLOSED.)
Jenny B. is important for me because for the 1st time I directed a Sinphonic Orchestra Live (thank you CLAUDIO, my great friend!): we won with the song Semplice Sai at Sanremo 2000 (Please, see news & other about SANREMO on rai.it or search the web), with Maestro Luciano (Pavarotti, Rest In Peace) and Fabio Fazio who conduced the show that year. It is impossible to remember all the productions since 1988.I apologize if I don't remember other important works! Records/CD/Singles and albums licensed in all the world maybe make 1.500.000 of copies sold.
My best collaboration in my whole life as a musician was with my brother FILIPPO through our experience of life and for AURORA MUSIC PRODUCTIONS.
My best friend, singer & Artist was Melvin when he was alive, (he will always be alive in my heart.)
FUNK REVELATION was a very good groove project that Max and I were producing, arranging, and performing in 1994; with love I remember Lady Candy McKenzie (the lead female voice) who died in 2003 R.I.P.
.I hope you like these (my composition) songs where I was sometimes playing all instruments or the BASS (my favourite instrument), KEYBOARDS, some notes of ALTO and SOPRANO SAX & for which I did the computer programming.
