DiAngelis

Frank van Engelen (DiAngelis) has a rich career in music.

Starting at a young age on drums, he switched to bass guitar at 15. Eventually evolving into a multi-instrumentalist who knows his way on keyboards and guitar as well. Despite his talent and love for music, he initially didn't pursue a professional music career. However, when approached by the producer of the Dutch act Gare de Nord, founded by Ferdi Lancee (composer, guitarist) and Barend Fransen (co-founder), he decided to take on the role of bass guitarist. Gare du Nord expanded beyond a studio act with live performances, becoming highly successful with a unique blend of jazz, pop, and lounge. Van Engelen spent eight years with the band, contributing to three studio albums.

Frank is inspired by acts like Toto, Level 42, Boz Scaggs, and artists like Jeff Porcaro and Mark King. The duo Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, better known as Steely Dan, serve as the perfect example for Van Engelen's approach.
