ANGE E. CURCIO was born in 1971 in Calabria, Italy and raised in Torino where he started his drumming career at the early age of five by banging on pots! A year later, he moved with his family to Montreal, Canada, where he played his first professional gig at age 15. ANGE paid his dues playing the usual bar gigs in small bands around town, evolving into a versatile drummer, not only with great showmanship on stage but equally adaptive in the recording studio as well. His trademark sound and groove has brought him numerous accolades from his peers and fellow-artists, and he has earned a solid reputation for delivering the goods at every gig or recording session that he is a part of.
ANGE has toured Canada, the United States, Japan, and Europe, backing international recording artists SAINTS AND SINNERS, and COREY HART, as well as Quebec's international platinum recording stars MICHEL PAGLIARO, and ERIC LAPOINTE with whom he received several FELIX AWARDS, including BEST SHOW 2000. ANGE even played a special drum solo for BILL GATES at a recent INTERNATIONAL MICROSOFT CONVENTION! He also landed a role in the movie LES DANGEREUX as the drummer in the lead character's band, and took home the NEW DISCOVERY FELIX AWARD 2002 with BEAT. ANGE has also played in concert with the MONTREAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA and COREY HART, and was nominated for a JUNO award with B.E.A.T.
Drums and drumming has kept this young performer very busy. The future looks promising with a lot in store for this young drummer who not only has a lot to say, but has a lot to play!
