Artist description I was raised in a small town called Barra Bonita, just outside of Sao Paulo, Brazil.  I lived a normal life until the age of 7, then a friend of my father gave me The BEATLES Album.. I was so inspired by the English-speaking band that by my 9th birthday, I had convinced my friends at school to follow me in imitating the group.  At that point, I was singing their tunes without even understanding what they were about.  This was the beginning of my musical fascination.  The next few years, I started to pursue my dream of becoming the next rock-n-roll legend playing all types of music, as a bassist, guitarist, singer and composer.  I was 15 when I started my first band, within 2 years, I was asked to join a professional band in my area, this band broke up and I was invited to produce a new band called BAM DA BANDA as a bassist and a singer.  That was when my dreams started to become reality...Bam Da Banda's status exploded, we performed for thousands of fans for 10 years throughout the country and recorded two cds.  My life was good, I had comfort, cars, motorcycles, girls, lots of fans, tours, a never-ending social life, family, friends, money, success, but unfortunately, an "EMPTY SOUL."  Most part of this time I was not happy because I could not share my ideas with people, there was no space for what I was looking for..Rock..  Rock n Roll with all my heart. Too much talent...only one band!  I lived a couple of years thinking what to do. I was waiting for changes, in my band, in my country, but it never happened, it only got worse, so I decided to leave the band and move to the US, land of opportunities, more specifically New York, middle of the world and where show business lives.  A place where I dream about since I was a kid. That was a hard decision to make, but at the same time, easy.  I knew about the difficulties and what I was supposed to pass through, even so I was ready to try.  I came to New York City on March 23, 2001 and my first musical performance was in the subway, I needed to feel the sensation, how the American reaction could be about seeing me singing in English, singing their own culture. It surprised me, everyone thought I was American! I realized that I could sing without any ascent, but it doesn't happen when I speak.  The experience gave me wings for my dreams in obtaining success as a musician internationally.  I knew it would take time for my project, but I also had to survive, so I started playing in the subway to maintain myself and I held a few other frustrating jobs.  I decided to use my past experience with sports and I got my first personal training client, who later became the investor for this demo.  During this, I kept my focus in writing songs, I also played in some parties, bars, beneficent events and charities.   My influences are Beatles, Elvis Presley, Bill Haley and The Comets, Ray Charles, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, U2, Oasis ...put all these bands in a blender, mix them all with  6'2'', 185 lb, green eyes, black hair, some Brazilian charisma and 52 Hit Songs of my own...then you will find my style.   What do I want? I want to sing my songs forever, to everyone, all over the world..I want to inspire people to live healthy, without drugs and alcohol, and to respect nature and humanity...live in peace together, find love and happiness.  I am ready to spread positive energy across the planet with my ideas, from my heart...using my voice and songs. BUT FIRST I need a chance, I'm just asking for ONE chance to PROVE my talent, just ONE interview, I believe in my talent because it comes from my soul, and if your answer is no or you're just thinking "He is just another one"....Please!! Think about all the things I abdicated, everything I left in Brazil, all the risks I have been taking, it has to mean something to you, doesn't it? Think about all the famous artists, how they started, they were noone.. until someone recognized them by their talent.  I'm going to tell you one last thing, I will not disappoint my family, my friends, my dog and myself. So, if you don't get interested now, I will not give up, I will make my dream come true.   Thank you so much for your attention.   Claudio Mattioli

Group Members The ONE, the ONLY, Claudio Mattilio Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Claudio Mattioli.  I am well known singer/musician from Brazil and I’ve been living in New York City for a little over one year.  Let me get to my reason for writing, you came to me as a reference through the internet and I thought it would be appropriate to let you know a little bit about myself and explain where my goals reside.  Within one year’s time, I have composed 52 songs and produced a 4 song Demo ready to be reviewed by record labels.  My only problem is being without suitable representation, my music can not be heard and my career can not be furthered.  As you are probably aware, the bigger record companies do not permit artists to represent themselves.  So, I am starting my search for a reliable and honest manager/management company who will promote my talent in the utmost professional way.  All I ask is for a few moments of your time to look over the attached information.  I have enclosed with this letter - my resume, a short biography, and (attached) pictures.  After going over my material, please contact me via e-mail or phone with any advice and suggestions you may have.  I am available immediately if you would like a personal demonstration of my talent or request my 4 song demo.  My promotional website (www.claudiomattioli.com) will be launched within the next week or so, as all of this information, along with my mp3s, will reside there as well. I will really appreciate if you can help me in this situation. Thank you for your time. I look forward to speaking with you soon.   Sincerely, Claudio Mattioli
