Rinaldi Sings is the stage name used by Steve Rinaldi, a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose orchestrated pop music prompted the "New Musical Express" to describe him in 2004 as a "cocksure 20th Century Scott Walker". [NME, September 4, 2004]

Background

Originally from Haverhill, Suffolk, Steve Rinaldi was formerly a trombonist with cult indie mod band The Moment. After the demise of the group, Rinaldi continued to work with The Moment’s guitarist Adrian Holder in a succession of bands. He eventually wrote half of the material and briefly took over as the band’s vocalist before leaving to focus on Rinaldi Sings, his first solo project, produced in collaboration with music journalist Chris Hunt.

Going into the recording studio with Ian Shaw and Paul Bevoir, both former producers of The Moment, Rinaldi set out to make an album of orchestrated pop music, reminiscent of the late nineteen-sixties bubblegum soul of such artists as Love Affair and The Foundations.

The first single from the album, a cover version of Tony Christie’s "Avenues And Alleyways", was released by Tangerine Records on May 10, 2004. The album, "What's It All About?", was finally released on February 21, 2005, and was described by British newspaper the "Daily Mail" as an album "of time travel pop [that] oozes with fab Sixties kitsch and wouldn't have sounded out of place in a Carnaby Street boutique". "Come Fly With Me" was released as a single on March 14, 2005.

After touring with his six-piece band throughout 2005, Steve Rinaldi spent much of 2006 writing material for his second album, "Bingo". Co-produced by Steve Rinaldi and Paul Bultitude, "Bingo" was released on August 4, 2008.

Collaborations and session work

Steve Rinaldi has made guest appearances with many other artists, both on stage and in the studio, including The Jetset, Squire, Dave Cairns, Mark Joseph, Katie Buckhaven, Ian Page, and with the reformed Secret Affair . As a session player he has frequently appeared in London's West End and has toured Japan as a member of The Glenn Miller Orchestra. He also played trombone and sang backing vocals on the recording of the Mod Aid 20 charity record "Whatcha Gonna Do About It", appearing on the recording with Ron Wood, PP Arnold, Ocean Colour Scene’s Steve Craddock, Reg Presley and Chris Farlowe.
