Rich Mangicaro currently resides in Los Angeles, California working as a freelance writer, music consultant, educator and performer. Previously, he was Director of Content for NovaTunes, a global, Internet Music Company based in Venice Beach, California. Prior to NovaTunes, for 19 years he had been the Director of Artist Relations/Music Education for the Paiste Cymbal Company.

At NovaTunes, Rich worked with a roster featuring internationally known artists Jackson Browne, Leon Russell, Bernard Fowler (vocalist-The Rolling Stones), Brian Ray (guitarist-Paul McCartney) Graham Nash and many up and coming artists. Rich managed artist content, authored artist and website text and produced and directed the company's video features.
***************************************************************************
At Paiste, Rich increased the overall visibility of the company by securing internationally recognizable artists for product promotions. As one of the company's Marketing Directors, he produced and art directed campaigns that not only increased overall company sales figures but also helped the overall visibility of each artist featured. Rich also ran the company's education department, conducting seminars, producing events and traveling abroad to launch international distribution.

A workshop he created and teaches at various music colleges entitled "Inside The Player's Studio" is now being considered by various parties, for an Internet based talk-show format. The workshop/show focuses on music business topics including celebrity/product endorsements, the volatile state of music sales, artist development and Internet promotion. Currently, Rich also works as a music consultant for the Paramount Pictures advertising department, assisting with music selections for their various projects and continues with his busy performing and writing schedule.
***************************************************************************
“I have had the great pleasure and honor of knowing Rich Mangicaro both professionally and personally for over 19 years. In my professional opinion he possesses a unique and singular talent as a percussionist, educator and performer. I have greatly admired his talent as a musician, educator and clinician in a wide variety of settings. He possesses the ability to clearly articulate the details of his craft and chosen art and has a deep understanding of his instrument and the rich history and the multi-faceted styles, which it embraces. I believe he is a unique and valuable asset to the American musical community as an educator, performer and ambassador of his instrument. Most important of all, he is the kind of musician you want to have in a rhythm section. He has a fluid, relaxed technique, always complementing the music with the right notes and a great feel and such deep musicality! He is that rare combination of talent, musicianship, humanity and a committed work ethic that sets him apart." - DOANE PERRY (DRUMMER-JETHRO TULL)
