Frank Caruso

Born in Milan in 1968, he started with classical studies playing guitar and piano at the age of 8. At the age of 12 he published his first record, a 45 rpm for a melodic rock band called MACID. At the age of 17 he founded FIREHOUSE, a band formed by schoolmates that went on to release a couple of albums, one of which was entitled (LABYRINTH) and was distributed all over Europe. As an acclaimed guitarist he collaborated with several Italian artists during the 80 ‘s and early 90 ‘s and thus began his session man activity in various recording studios. He worked with Franco Battiato in addition to other major musical productions belonging to the Italian music scene. In 1992, after graduating in Sacred music, he opened his own recording studio where he began the realization of soundtracks and music for television use and he also worked with the major tv and radio stations (RAI – Mediaset – Radio 101 – Rock FM). In 1998 his band  ARACHNES published “THE GODDESS TEMPLE” , a cd for Lucretia Records and the band attracted international critics attention and appeared in compilations alongside bands like STRATOVARIOUS and ANGRA. In 2000 the collaboration with the label “Underground Symphony” lead ARACHNES towards the release of the 4 track cd “METAMORPHOSIS”, which undoubtably marked the change in style of the band which had became Power /Prog/Symphonic. In 2008 he began a new guitar project called STRINGS 24 and the following year he released his first self- titled album (STRING 24) for the well-known label “Lion Music”. “SPEAK” his second cd was released by Videoradio Editionsin 2011. 2016 marks the beginning of a great new collaboration; Frank is contacted by the accomplished keyboardist Mistheria and asked to collaborate as an arranger for the impressive Vivladi Metal Project, an “all star Band”. Thanks to this new challenge Frank composes the song “The Age of Dream” involving the most important musicians on the world’s rock scene thus putting together a memorable team for the occasion. During all these years Frank released a couple of solo records as well, Kaleidoscope and Kaleidoscope II.
