Across his five solo releases, Angel Vivaldi’s blend of spell-binding guitar anthems and tasteful yet virtuosic playing has reached and inspired tens of millions. Vivaldi, starting his independent solo career in 2003, joined forces with the newly reformed 40 Below Summer in 2008. He continued to release multiple solo albums including the critically acclaimed Universal Language in 2010, which has become a staple in today’s modern instrumental album catalog. In 2012, Vivaldi joined the supergroup Vext featuring Tommy Vext (ex-Bad Wolves) as well as members from Mutiny Within. After the loss of his best friend to ALS in 2014, not long after the crowd-funded release of Away With Words Part 1, Angel realized that the only thing worse than living with regret would be to die with it. So in 2015, putting his confidence and trust in his audience, Vivaldi quit his day job, committing himself full-time to his career in music and touring.
Since beginning to headline national US and European tours in 2015, he has shared the stage with icons such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Nita Strauss, Gus G (Ozzy Osbourne) as well as modern titans such as Plini, Intervals, and Devin Townsend. His latest full-length album, Synapse, is a conceptual opus that immerses listeners with an introspective sonic adventure coupled with stunning visuals massing nearly 2 million views collectively. Later that same year, he launched his annual Guitar Collective tour which has featured artists such as Nita Strauss, Scale the Summit, Andy James, Yvette Young, and more.
2019 saw the debut of Angel’s signature guitar with Charvel called the Nova. The line continues to expand with multiple models, including both 6 and 7 strings versions. He’s since appeared on numerous records with the likes of Marty Freidman, Nuno Bettencourt, Alex Skolnick (Testament), and Jeff Loomis. He continues to operate as a self-managed, independent artist.
Vivaldi continues to captivate the masses with stunning video releases unlike any seen in the instrumental world such as “A Martian Winter,” “.. _ _ _ “ (Two), and most recently “Serotonin” which features Nita Strauss.
