Angelo Coppola began beating the skins when he was only two years old. At age six he made his first public performance. Since then he has been entertaining audiences all over the country. Angelo first received national attention when he became one of the youngest winners ever on the television show America's Most Talented Kids performing Rock & Roll All Nite by KISS. He has since played dozens of performances professionally at festivals (Michigan State Fair, Sterling Fest, Armada Fair), KISS Expos (Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Dayton), and special events (Radio Disney, school functions, private parties). Aside from entertaining as a professional musician he has made it a point to provide entertainment for many charitable events using his talents to help others less fortunate than himself. Some of the charities Angelo has helped raise money for include: Easter Seals, March Of Dimes, American Heart Association, Lymphoma & Leukemia Foundation and Juvenile Diabeties Foundation. In July 2006 Angelo released his first CD titled "Pound For Pound". Angelo co-wrote all the songs, played all of the drum tracks, and covered all of the vocal parts on the disc. "Pound For Pound" contains a variety of rock & roll genres and reflects Angelo's taste in rock music. In 2007 Angelo recorded drum tracks for the KISS tribute CD titled Christine Sixteen 2 and was featured on the TV show New York Rocks. He also recorded drum tracks for the 2008 Metallica Tribute CD "Teach Em All" which also features John JD DeServio, bassist for Black Label Society & Cycle of Pain. Angelo has gigged around Metro Detroit with virtuoso rock guitarist Anthony August. He has now formed the band WHIPLASH with twin brothers Andrew and Josh Burnham in which he is not only the drummer but also lead vocalist. WHIPLASH has been packing great venues everywhere and has been getting their first single played on 101 WRIF. Watch for WHIPLASH coming to a venue near you soon!
