About

Alfredo Malabello is Australia’s very own Italian son of song, and he’s harboured a burning passion for music as far back as he can remember. “As a very young boy growing up in Adelaide, I couldn’t fall asleep unless I had the radio on. Music was my one true escape, and even now, if everything is crumbling around me, as soon as I start to play my piano and sing, the world as it is stops and my own private universe begins.”

Born to immigrant Italian parents, Sydney-based Alfredo is a true citizen of the world, and his colourful career has transported him to many places across the globe. “I’ve played in cities as varied as New York, Nashville, Tokyo, Milan, Dusseldorf, Saint Moritz, Munich, Rome, London, and all over Australia of course. What a trip it’s been!”

With over 30 years experience on stages around the world, Alfredo has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s most remarkable live artists. He has performed at VIP parties for Canadian crooner Michael Bublé, he’s entertained guests at a lavish ceremony to celebrate the opening of the 2011 Formula One in Melbourne, and he’s also shared a stage with Tina Arena and the Western Australian Symphony Orchestra. “Tina used to come and sing with me in a small bar in Melbourne in the late 1980s, and it was a special moment when she recently chose me to sing The Prayer with her, backed by grand sixty piece orchestra. It was a glorious highlight of my career.”

Along with his credentials on stage, Alfredo has also cemented his status as an exceptional recording artist. His 2010 debut album Ciao Bella peaked at Number 4 on the Jazz and Blues chart in Australia, spending an astounding twenty-seven weeks in the Top Twenty. “I was pleasantly surprised with the success of Ciao Bella, and I’m thrilled I’m able to connect with so many people.”

Alfredo is a man of many surprising talents, and although he has recently acted in the acclaimed SBS series Carla Cametti PD, as well as in Channel Nine’s successful Underbelly Files, his next journey sees him returning to his passion for music as he consolidates the success of Ciao Bella with his new release The Two Of Us.

Recorded in Byron Bay with acclaimed producer Paul Wiltshire (Human Nature, Backstreet Boys, Marcia Hines), The Two Of Us is a warm, tender album that features some of Australia’s finest musicians, including a twenty-piece orchestra. On The Two Of Us, Alfredo lends his passionate, soulful vocals to a smoky version of
All Is Fair In Love, a sexy interpretation of Music To Watch Girls By, and he has also re-written the Chicago classic Just You And Me in Italian.

Containing eight English compositions and four Italian songs, The Two Of Us is the perfect album for relaxing and romancing. And as Alfredo promises, “When it’s just me and my piano, you get to the real heart of who I am.”
