Get to know Aldo Villani

Born in Montreal with an Italian family background, Aldo grew up in the East end. He has been happily married well over 25 years and recalls one of his fondest memories was his performance to his wife on their wedding day. Having first stepped on stage at the age of 13 at a high school talent event, he quickly became addicted to performing live for an audience. Feeling such passion he attended Dawson`s Creative Arts Program as well as worked part time at the Penguin Theatre in Montreal. He remembers being young and excited about the prospect of being around the artists and the glamour of the theatre but that the craziness was a little too much for him and he opted in the direction of live bands.

He produced his first band ``Big Al and the Blue Notes`` which in turn led to performing for bands such as Rhythm Club and Heartbeat. For years he sang at weddings, corporate events, festivals and more engaging the audience with music from the 50`s to the 70`s. With shows at hotels such as the Crown Plaza and the Ritz, he has enthralled audiences with his powerful and mesmerising voice with classics by Elvis, Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck. With a wide range and versatile repertoire his Crooner like Rock`n Roll style had him performing last year at the Car show at the Olympic Stadium. 


A regular at performing dinner shows, you can catch him around the city singing at Melrose, Il Ritrovo, Mundo Trattoria and in Laval at Studio 910. Along side Luc Barette from Groove-Line Entertainment, they combine an evening of live music and DJ entertainment for any event.

Recently he has been putting together his YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/BIGAL12690 where you can hear him cover songs not only in English but in Italian and French. Sometimes flashy, exciting and new is great but the older classics can bring back the happy memories related to those events that make a huge impact in our lives.

An all around great guy with talent, charisma and the elegance to perform with class and style. You can follow him on his Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/aldo.villani.
