FRED
Born in La Louvière on January 30, 1980, Fred Rinaldi really fell in love with music in the middle of the grunge era, with the sounds of Soundgarden, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, Tool, Incubus and many more, far from the first notes taught by his father, inspired by the italian standards of Lucio Battisti.
He formed his first band in 1997, in the style of Deftones and other neo-metal groups. During this experience, he discovered Jeff Buckley, Ben Harper, Dave Matthews Band, and also world and jazz music.
Over the next few years, he took in all those influences to create his own style with strong melodies and audacious rhythms. Living in Brussels, he got the support of many english speaking artists from the european capital such as Baï Kamara Jr and Tony Fotheringham (AKA Sipa Bardo) with whom he played at different occasions.
MICKEY
Born in Dinant on August 4, 1979, his childhood was surrounded by The Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen and Peter Gabriel.
Always deeply interested in music, he listened to Aerosmith, Guns & Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana.... and received his first guitar from his parents at 14.
In 1999, after a few years of jamming with friends, he took his first drumming classes and, only a couple of months later, entered his first blues-rock band to start playing gigs.
The concerts multiplied and so did the experience!
Mickey loves rock, plays in different projects and is always developing his skills.
He also played and worked on other styles and is particularly interested in drummers like John Bonham, Jeff Porcaro, Chad Smith, Matt Cameron ...
For a few years, he has been playing with AngezyA, a french rock group in which Lou, whose the current bass player of the Fred Rinaldi Band, plays too.
LOU
Born in Charleroi on March 10, 1980. Passionated by instruments since he was a young boy, Lou started to learn piano at 5 years old.
When he was 17, he bought himself his first guitar and wrote his own lyrics, which he immediately added music to.
Then he created his first band , now named *Angezya* (a rising French rock group of which Mickey is the drummer) as a guitar player and singer.
Passionated by the bass guitar for many years, it is with Fred Rinaldi and Mickey that he 's having the most fun on stage!
THE BAND
In this formula, Fred , Lou and Mickey, those 3 passionated and ambitious musicians, give a quality music at every concert, impressing the audience.
A power trio whose energy, groove and complicity are a must!

HOPE - THE ALBUM
That first album, named Hope, has been recorded in Mons by Arnaud Carette, a sound engineer who convinced reknown musicians to take part in the project.
The biggest moment has probably been the very unlikely meeting with Robin DiMaggio, one of the world's most reknown drummers ( David Bowie, Paul Simon, Mariah Carey, Snoop Dog
,Quincy Jones....).
Between LA and Paris, and impressed by Fred's compositions, he spent the night working and improvising on more than half of the tracks!
