Edalo began in 2015 as the multimedia project of Buffalo, NY-born and raised Angelo Edalo Marinelli. A self-taught musician and composer, he relocated to Los Angeles in late 2013 to write and produce a Ray Charles tribute album with Charles’ grandson, the artist Robert Robinson, known as RobTwyce. “You,” the project’s single, was released by All Access Music Group in 2015.
Described by The Buffalo News as “a blissful place where worries vanish and happiness abounds,” Marinelli’s music has a relaxed energy. Yet his work ethic is evidenced by his partnerships, working alongside names like Kenny Hawkins (guitarist for Rick James, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J Blige) and Jerry Livingston (bassist for Rick James). In 2012, Marinelli teamed up with Robby Takac of The Goo Goo Dolls to write the track “Mariposa,” recorded at GCR Audio, (where The Goo Goo Dolls’ and James Taylor have recorded) by sound engineers Jay Zubricky and Justin Rose.
In 2013, Edalo self-released his first full length album, Faith, which was included in iTunes’ “Top Instrumental Music in US” list in 2015. His sophomore work is California Rush, a project two years in the making and released July 7th 2017 by independent label Castle Music Group, artist development partner of Sensu Music. Edalo will be announcing tour dates in support of the album. Where Faith was focused on instrumental melodic sounds that capture a listener’s heart and soul, California Rush takes a slightly new direction using the same melodic sounds, but combining live lead guitar, saxophone, and electronic dance elements. California Rush is mastered by Gentry Studer, whom has worked with artists that include the names of Incubus, Metallica Motion City Soundtrack, and Gary Clark Jr – to name a few. Compositions released by Edalo create a different tone – “livetronic.”
