If you are unfamiliar with the name Johnny Gioeli and the bands he is
involved with, Hardline, Crush 40, and AXEL RUDI PELL, then you have simply
missed out on one of the most gifted voices to grace the hard rock genre in the
past 25 years!
Gioeli will release his very first solo effort, entitled “One Voice”, via
Frontiers Music Srl on December 7th. The title “One Voice” is a tribute to the
fans who have supported Gioeli’s career for decades. Musically, of the album,
Johnny says, “I love guitar driven rock. I love songs that have a direct impact,
gets you thinking and puts you in a positive frame of mind.”
When asked why he decided to do a solo album at this point in his career,
Gioeli says, “[c]reating music is my life. Starting with a pin needle of an idea
and cultivating that idea into a song that has an effect on someone has always
fulfilled me musically. When a young man in my hometown had a life changing
accident leaving him paralyzed, I knew I wanted to do something special. I
wanted to make this solo album to help him with some of the enormous costs
associated with rehabilitation. I also knew that those who love the music I make
are fans for life and I knew they would help too. It’s a testament to the
beautiful hearts that circle this globe. I woke one morning with the title ‘One
Voice’ in my head knowing that I need air from others to sing. I am so proud of
this uplifting album. It’s been said that it is the ‘feel good album of the 21st
century’. I’m grateful for those words.”
The aforementioned ‘young man’ is Joe Barber. A large portion of the money
raised for this album through a Pledge campaign is going directly to Joe and his
family to help him and his family with needs his recovery and the associated
medical costs.
“‘One Voice’ is the sum of my efforts to bring a world together for the
love of music”, muses Gioeli. “If you can imagine fans from all parts of the
world…. the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Scandinavia, Australia etc….all of them
coming together to donate money to a kid they don’t even know…it’s a testament
to the song ‘One Voice’. We are ‘One Voice’ together, we are love and hope
forever, we are one world that matters, so let’s all just help each
other.”
Of the team that helped him craft this album in the studio, Johnny says, “I
have an extremely talented group of musicians performing with me on ‘One Voice’.
Eric Gadrix on guitar, who wrote the musical compositions, Marco di Salvia on
drums, Nik Mazzucconi on bass, and my Hardline bandmate Alessandro del Vecchio
on keys, who is also my trusted producer, engineer and lil’ brother. A
powerhouse band I will take on the road. Making this record was a labor of love,
for sure. I spent countless days and nights in my studio thinking, singing,
recording and making sure I loved it before you, the fans, got a chance to love
it. I wanted to paint a picture I hope everyone wants to hang on their wall.
‘One Voice’ is that painting.”
