About Me
In honor of Carson Kemp, the girl that convinced me to make a MySpace profile, and made my last season of SDYSO unforgettable. Carson gave me my belief in angels. Not the ones with halos, but the ones that make such an impression on the soul that their identity could not be more clear. She suddenly died in her sleep on April 29th 2007, and I have realized that not every mistake is fixable. Tell those that you love how much you care about them, and live every day like it's your last. Don't get angry over meaningless things, because life truly is too short. These may seem like overused cliches but there is a definite truth to the fragility of life. No one can be sure of their path in life, but there can always be appreciation for the present. Carson, you mean the world to me, and I look forward to seeing you in the afterlife. Antonio This video is a revised compilation that I put together of Carson's photos. Unfortunately, my video editing skills are subpar, but I feel that it portrays her radiance and that is all that really matters. I would like to thank Carson's best friend, Kim, for providing the pictures. :) ANTONIO'S CONCERT CAM! April 2006, Long Beach, CA Get this video and more at MySpace.com Antonio Pontarelli @ the Key Club .. Antonio Pontarelli won the hearts of America when millions watched his exciting performances on national television. Now with a band of adept musicians they have been working hard making their mark in alternative rock. Pontarelli's passion for music began at age three when he asked his parents for a violin and began classical training. When he was six he won his first violin competition and realized that he loved the stage and the thunderous applause and got serious about his music. His popularity catapulted when he won the Grand Championship of NBC's PAX TV's America's Most Talented Kids. NBC claimed that “Pontarelli burnt down the house” with his fiery rock violin arrangement of "Purple Haze" and ran commercials calling him the next Jimi Hendrix. He soon became involved with the Grammy Foundation and also became a spokesperson for keeping music in the schools. His performances and interviews were featured "Live from the Grammy Red Carpet" on the Tonight Show, Entertainment Tonight and the TV Guide Channel. Pontarelli has graced the covers of magazines and has had coverage in Billboard, Music Connection and String Magazine where he inspired others to develop a strong foundation in music and to follow their dreams. “I aspire to write empowering songs that touch people deeply and tell a story”. I was moved after Katrina to write a song to inspire others to use life’s setbacks for growth and that formed the roots of “Things Fall Apart”. Today as an international award winning rock singer, songwriter and violinist with a signature Baroque rock sound, the band is kicking into high gear. They are currently recording their original material and collaborating with Grammy winning artists and producers including Serj (System of a Down) and Howard Benson. "Please don't take it personally if I do not get back to you quickly. I respond when time allows and I read every post. The band appreciates your support and we look forward to meeting you on the road"!
