Al Conti (b. 1968), a self-taught pianist, keyboardist, and composer, was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, son of Italian and German parents. His mother was a ballerina while his father a professor and poet. His extended family includes the late 1800's Argentinean famed writer Miguel Cané. As a result, Al has been surrounded by an eclectic blend of music, literature and art since he was very young. Originally an actor, Al has studied with some of Argentina's film and television actors such as Héctor Bidonde and Anibal Morixe. Al Conti has appeared in many theatre productions as well as television commercials and shows such as CBS' daytime drama As The World Turns. Al began seriously working on music 17 years ago, but it was not until after he had a near death experience that he undertook music full time, working extensibly with German production company Ohmegasongs Productions. When asked about any regrets regarding giving up acting, Al says: "With all the different parts of my music career, I really don’t have the time to think about what I am missing by not being an actor." Since the release of Al's debut CD "Shadows" in 2006, music has taken over and has become his sole work as his popularity continues to soar. Reviewers have praised Al's work as "delicious, peaceful music," "intricate," and expressing a "lovely humanity and positive spirit." Al Conti is a member of ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) and the Musician's Union AFM (The American Federation of Musicians).
