Marc A. Gallo

Marc A. Gallo (born May 20, 1964) is an American music producer and entrepreneur. He has founded two businesses, CCI and Mind The Gap, and has worked as a musician, composer, and songwriter for a variety of musical acts. He is also known for his ventures in designing recording studios and the mobile rig, the Alonomorphic Control Station (ACS).
Early life and education
Marc A. Gallo was born in Camden, New Jersey and raised in Pennsauken, New Jersey. His father died from lung cancer when he was 8 years old. His mother subsequently pursued a career in real estate, causing the family to move frequently. This caused him to attend four different high schools until he graduated from Atlantic City High School in 1982. To cope with his father’s death and the frequent moves, Gallo pursued an interest in writing songs and playing guitar, coming up with the name Alon. In Progression Magazine, Gallo said, “I was basically alone a lot so I dropped the letter ‘e’ of ‘alone’ and I gave myself the artist name ‘Alon’. I wasn’t even gigging or anything. It was just me, in my bedroom, writing music.” Throughout high school, he took an interest in progressive rock and began rehearsing with local musicians.
Gallo attended Temple University and graduated in 1987 with a B.A in Communications, focusing on audio production.
Great Egg Music
While at Temple University, Gallo co-founded the band BAG with Patrick Callen, described as a "zany eight-piece theatrical rock group." The studio was co-designed with Dan McKay and, with the assistance of an architect, converted his garage into a professional recording facility. The result combined “traditional instrumentation with 21st century electronics.” In a Forbes Magazine article about niche marketing, Gallo said “The right recordings can actually make the on-hold experience enjoyable for customers and profitable for the company.” All voice talent and music is produced at Great Egg Studio.
