FILIPPO VOLTAGGIO

You may hear Filippo being introduced on our show as “The Master of Change,” and you may know him as the author of “The Little Dog That Could,” and creator of “The RECALIBRATION,” and the “Life IMPROVment,” workshops.  But as our Musical Guest, here’s what you might not know about him. As a singer/songwriter and entertainer, his professional career started much earlier than his business career.  In fact, his parents told him how they used to stand him up on the kitchen table to sing and entertain family and friends when he was just a baby.

Early on, Filippo was singled out as a soloist and would go on to star in almost every school performance in some form or other and even being the only one to sing at his High School graduation.  He was Charlie Brown in “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown,” Lt. Cable, in “South Pacific,” and Col. Penmark in “Bad Seed,” to name a few.  He continued to perform in College and throughout his University years from theater productions like “They’re Playing Our Song,” to performances with the PBS televised broadcasts of “Bach’s B-minor Mass,” with the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus; and the world-renowned San Diego Opera productions of “Norma,” and “The Flying Dutchman.”  Read More…

In Terry’s more than 40 years in the music business, his skills have been in demand from the West Coast to the East Coast and beyond. Terry has been the go to “hired gun” on many sessions and live performances. Whether it’s performing, arranging, producing a conducting he is respected amongst musicians.

ARMANDO COMPEAN – Bass Player

Bassist/vocalist/composer and band leader, boasts a career marked with a countless number of collaborations and musical partnerships.  He has had his own voice since the late 1960s when he relocated to Los Angeles.  A native of Houston, Texas, he was born into a musical family and, as a result, was exposed to all types of music and instruments.

His musical journey began with violin lessons at the age of 5 and continued with learning the trumpet, drums and the studying of classical piano for 10 years.  At age 13, he taught himself the guitar, formed his own bands and was fortunate to play with some of the best local blues and jazz musicians in Houston.  After being asked to play the bass in a band, and after hearing bassist Ray Brown with Oscar Peterson and Scott LaFaro with the Bill Evans Trio, Armando completely fell in love with the bass and it became his choice of instrument.  Read More…
