for

Michael Mangia >>

“Though still in his mid-20’s, Michael Mangia is already establishing himself as a serious songwriter. Drawing from influences as diverse as Tori Amos, Ben Folds and Rufus Wainwright, L.A.-based Mangia blends narrative storytelling and pop to charming effect.”

-Dallas Voice

----------------------

"With billowing piano parts, Mangia's style is just as easily folk as it is pop; a creative blend of contemporary poetry wrapped up with the soul of music. Each song telling its own story of death or pain or obsession; the things reality is made of."

-Static Multimedia

 

Mr. Michael Mangia doesn't mind digging around in the Hollywood dirt to celebrate the beauty that lurks in the dark, clandestine corners, underneath bedsheets and facelifts. Think of him as the David Lynch of the LA music scene, trafficking in catchy melodies and billowing piano parts to tell stories of the sordid and the beautiful. As a live perfomer, Michael engages whether singing a slow-burning ballad or an arsenic-laced break-up song, and his charming stage show always incorporates a dash of the experimental. You never know when Michael's expressive bariitone and lush piano-playing will be accompanied by vintage slides, a pink megaphone, a tap dancer or a small orchestra.
