Template:Message box Angie Aparo (born )is an U. S. American musician and songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia. He is known for his ability to cross-genres while sharing pure and honest music. Recently he created the band The Infidels and is in the process of recording recently written songs with this band.
Aparo began playing in a group called Angie's Hope in the early 1990s before making the decision to go solo. After making that decision, Aparo made the decision to go out on the road and made a name for himself touring with his acoustic guitar in the Southeast. In 1996, he released his first CD Out of the Everywhere. With an organic sound and folksy roots, this album is poignantly emotional.
In 1999, with Grammy-winning producer Matt Serletic, Aparo released The American-- a bold and atmospheric statement with thoughtful lyrics, soaring choruses, and songs that highlight his range. His semi-smash hit single "Spaceship" hit the radio waves in 2000, and The American also includes his original version of the single made popular by Faith Hill called Cry. Many songs from The American are also on a new live CD 9live that was released in 2004.
While stuck in musical limbo due to record label issues, Aparo released Weapon of Mass Construction (2001) (Re-released under the titleOne With the Sun): a CD of cover songs taken from varying artists from the Beastie Boys to Neil Young and Elton John, as well as two previously unreleased originals. In his own words, "It was fun, and I got it out of my system." (Biography from www.myspace.com/angieaparo).
In 2003, another album-- For Stars and Moon a non-sugarcoated poppier collection than Aparos' previous CDs was released. This took Aparo's music in a different direction while still maintaning the organicness, and showcasing his tenor voice.
Most recently, Aparo has put together a band-- The Infidels-- and is touring the southeast while recording a new album. The music again is in a different direction than his previous recordings .
