Biography
Montreal, Quebec, Canada (1973 – present)
From a musical family, his father was a big band musician. Gino Vannelli played drums at a young age and after finishing high school studied musical theory at McGill University.
He eventually went to Los Angeles, California where he signed with Herb Alpert’s A&M Records, releasing his first album with that record label in 1973. Gino’s brother, Joe, served as arranger and keyboardist for most of his recording career. At a time when polyphonic synthesizers were non-existent, Joe overdubbed multiple parts to create a texture of sound that was largely progressive for the early 1970s. Gino’s 1978 song, “I Just Wanna Stop,” earned him an American Grammy Award nomination. He won Canada’s Juno Award for Best Male Artist in 1976 and 1979. Also, Gino and Joe Vannelli shared the Juno Award for Recording Engineer of the Year three times: in 1986 for “Black Cars,” in 1987 for “Wild Horses”/”Young Lover,” and in 1991 for “The Time of Day”/”Sunset on L.A.”.
Vannelli’s other hits include “Living Inside Myself” (1980) and “Wild Horses” (1987).
In 1990 Gino recorded the album ‘Inconsolable man’ and toured extensively for the first time in well over a decade. His ‘Live in Montreal’ album was released in 1991.

Gino this Matt Jones from LaSalle, Montreal, you rock man, i've been listening to you since i've been born in 77 and i am so happy that a fellow Lasalle-Emard neighbour has made some fantastic music, Neil Mendonca says hi to your brother, im so excited that you are finally returning to Montreal on October 29th for another fantastic show, your last one was amazing i brought a few friends of mine to it and they had the time of their lives and they can't wait for your next show as well. Well im off to buy my tickets, and i was wondering if there was any possibility of meeting you backstage for an autograph? All the best to you Gino, i can't wait till Oct 29th, YOU ROCK!

Amazing that he had a hard time getting a recording contract. You'd search in vain today to find his equal. His brother was a big part as well.

Not only has Gino enhanced my life with his great music but he's influenced my taste in music in general. He was definitely the Elvis Presley of my generation and I'm very happy to have found his music. Thanks Gino!
