Michael Cartellone Adept Painter & Musician w/Rock Legend's Lynyrd Skynyrd

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.Michael Cartellone was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1962. He attended the Cleveland Institute of Art at the age of four, with his focus set on the Visual Arts. Indeed, Michael intended a career in Visual Arts for the next five years, until he began drumming at the age of nine. He completely threw himself into drumming, playing his first professional gig at a bar at the age of eleven, although he never stopped painting. Cartellone continued studying both drumming and painting simultaneously, throughout his grade school and high school years. By the time he graduated high school, he was performing four nights a week, earning his living as a musician; yet at the same time, he had begun selling his paintings. As he explains it, "music and art have always been two halves of a whole."At the age of twenty-two, Cartellone moved to New York City to further his career. He worked in the art department of a large clothing manufacturer in the garment industry by day and played the drums by night. It was during this time that he had his first gallery show, at King Street Gallery in the Washington D.C. area. His move to New York City was a true springboard for his music career. Before long, he found himself in a new band called "Damn Yankees", which went on to multi-platinum status. Other recording and /or touring credits include John Fogerty, Cher, Peter Frampton and Freddie Mercury. In 1998, Cartellone joined the legendary Southern Rock Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, where he can currently be seen on tour throughout the world.Please welcome the founding member of Damn Yankees and current drummer of Lynyrd Skynyrd since 1999.
