Giacomo Migliardi Biographical Profile
(stage name: Mino Migliardi)

Mino Migliardi was “musically” born in 1977 in Jersey C.I. where he was luckily noted by Mr. Lapidus (the director of the Grand Hotel Esplanade where Mino was working as a waiter) while he was performing with his acoustic guitar in a club at the Angleterre Hotel, singing Elvis Presley’s songs.

The next day, Mr. Lapidus called him to his office and at the end…
Mino was fired as a waiter and offered instead a contract to perform in the same Hotel as a singer & guitar player.

For the next three years, he performed initially as a “one man show”, then with a local acoustic band called "Bob Trio" and some other bands, learning and improving more and more his knowledge with classical American and English repertoire.

In 1980 he returned to Italy where he was hired as a guitarist to join a pretty well known orchestra (Cesare De Cesaris Show).Noticed by the choreographer Mrs. Edy Bawman (the famous actor’s wife, Nino Milano) Mino was asked to play in a small role where script was necessitating the singing of a Classic Neapolitan song ('O Marenariello) So, since that his first performance, he started to take more and more "stage" and year by year, till 1986, he was trained for higher and main roles that often were written especially for him by great authors such as Lucio Carano, Arnaldo Padella and Cesare De Cesaris

In 1980 he started acting, dancing and singing side by side with Rudy De Cesaris, the real big "star" of the Show, which Mino owes his most important “schooling". After years of Variety Shows, performing in open areas and theaters from the center to the south of Italy, Mino Migliardi strengthened an innate vocal mastery that allowed him to easily switch from "Granada" to "New York New York", from "O 'Sole Mio" to "Everybody Needs Somebody", learning so to interpret every musical genre in the right way, always respecting the original musical characteristics. In one of the many Variety Shows produced by Maestro De Cesaris, Mino had the great privilege to perform also with very famous Italian Comedians like Renato Rascel and Giuditta Saltarini.

In 1986, after 6 years with Cesaris De Cesaris, Mino decided for a big change and so he joined one of the most prestigious American Cruising Ships Company of those years, the Home Lines Cruising Ships, for a three year contract as a lead singer with “The Malvisi Band” and so, turning finally back to his very first love: the classic American songs made popular by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin...

Expanding his American repertoire in general, Mino rediscovers his own vocal style now clearly “born” for that kind of music that he loved first... and perhaps, thanks also to all those charming Gala Evenings in Tuxedo, to the Cigars from Jamaica, the Champagne, the starry nights, that magic of Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Islands, Mino absorbed each and every emotion like a sponge and turned it all in to a source of genuine inspiration for many songs he wrote, like "What Else Can I Say", “Layla”…

But, after three years of sweet "sailing" and sweet "rolling", he started missing his Italian “dynamic stage” back in Italy and so, at the end of his contract, he decided to return to Abruzzo and put together this time, his own first “Variety Show”.

He writes down his Mino Migliardi Show "sewing" all the main structures to make it suitable for himself, composing all the music and writing some new comedy sketches.

With the dancers from the “Accademia Bellini” in Naples, the choreography of Bruna Ferace, the orchestra of Maestro Mimmo Bucciarelli and some occasional collaboration with "national stars", he starts touring successfully from Rome to Sicily, performing in the role of “brilliant actor”, singer, musician and conductor.

In 1991, due to important family reasons, Mino was unable to face further long absences from home…so, to stay in Naples he grabbed a stable engagement at a local and very popular Club (The Caffe' Nobile) where he performed for three consecutive years. Occasionally, he performed in Capri as well at the “Hotel La Palma” and Hotel Punta Tragara”, and at the “Tiffany Club”, the “Filu’ “and other Clubs in Sorrento.

Then, in 1994 Mino was hired by a great agent of those days (Mr. Piero Massari) for his first contract in the Middle East at the English Pub "Sheraton Hotel" in Damascus, then he moved to the "Dubai Marine Hotel" in Dubai, then the "Le Meridien Hotel" in Dubai and to the "Le Royal Meridien Hotel" in Bahrain, where he remained until 2011, performing in all the most prestigious Hotels of the Country.

After more than 16 years away from Italy, Mino gave his last performance in Bahrain for an “Italian Dinner Show” at the famous “The Capital Club” before his return to his own town of Naples, where he finally meets with all his old colleagues and friends.
But unluckily, he finds his artistic "re-entry" in Naples very complicated, so wisely decided to remain temporarily on stand - by, just waiting for a proper opportunity more suitable to his own singing style.

Finally in August 2015, Mino meets with some new musicians from Naples and founds with them a Quintet named “The Swing Baby Band” and with the great support of Andrew De Vivo, he arranges a great repertoire mainly base on the very best of the American Classic Songs made famous by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and with new "Jazzy"arrangements, he includes in the Setlist even some very well known Neapolitan songs.

In December 23, 2015 Mino gives a short appearance in a TV show (Napoli International) performing with Andrew De Vivo on Piano and Andreas Andronico on D. Bass. The numbers that he chooses to sings, “Fly Me To The Moon” and a Neapolitan Medley including “I Have But One Heart” (‘O Marenariello) , “Anema e Core” and “Oh Marie!” are greatly appreciated from the audience.

So, at this time, Mino starts a very strong and closer collaboration with his new Piano Player Andrew, and finally they decide to work together for a new and very ambitious project that will surely lead them two to hit new and successful goals.

What people say about him?

"He can sing anything, without changing the tone of his voice ...”
(Cesare De Cesaris, 1986)

"He’s a pure artist, extroverted and at the same time firmly tied to the rigor and respect for the rules of a good performing discipline that requires: smiling on the stage and high and professional dedication behind the scenes."
(Lucio Carano, 1988)

"He is a pure crooner with a warm voice gained from experience and even wormer despite the “bitter wrinkles of inaccessible musical phrases” that he can reach in a so simply way. Mino is a virtuous and wise interpreter of deep emotion that captures from the audience and then retransmit to audience in a whispering type of notes that he can sing trough intimate vibrated “deep sound” or in a generous full voice final, through his "open heart" as only a true Neapolitan singer can do. Hearing his voice is a continuous exchange of deep emotions. The proper motto for Mino Migliardi could be: “If I Can Make It There, I Can Make It Anywhere ...”
(Leonello Malvisi, Home Lines Cruising Ships - 1989)

"I can feel his "singing smile" even when I listen to his voice from a CD"
(Laura Miller, 1989)

"If I close my eyes while Mino sings “I Can’t Help Fallin’In Love with You”, I would easily say: “this is the King that is singin’ now '...
(Janet D'Agostino, 1989)

"That young fellow is a very talented singer…one day he'll be a great Crooner"
(Buddy Greco, Home Lines Ship Cruising - 1989)

"When he starts singing, everybody stops talking ..."
(Terry Fortune, MSC Cruises - 1994)

"His voice is truly great and unique"
(Moody Attar, Bahrain, 2015)

"He can color with nice taste and wisdom every little nuance of his singing, as well as a true and sensitive artist he infuses musicality to each canvas he’s painting ..."
(Luciano Savoretti, Rome - 2015)

“A singer gifted with an American voice and a Neapolitan heart”
(Rosario Bruno, Italy - 2015)

Thank you all...

"To all those who have helped me to make this my happy "musical trip” until today, I’m honored to give my most sincere thanks and please… support me as well in the future (God willing) for the “flame” under the "pot" is always on and something to “cook”, is actually already there...as soon as everything will be well cooked to perfection, I will be very happy to announce the date of our next "dinner", with a hope that you will still grant me with the privilege of having you all at my “table”
