Indeed, Michael intended a career in Visual Arts for the next five years, until that is 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, Cartellone was performing four nights a week, earning his living as a musician; yet at the same time, he had begun selling his paintings. As Cartellone 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 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 Cartellone's 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 Fogarty, Cher, Peter Frampton and Freddie Mercury. In 1998, Cartellone joined the legendary Southern Rock Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, where he currently can be seen on tour throughout the world. http://www.wentworthgallery.com 2010-02-08T16:33:52-05:00 Michael Cartellone to Showcase Artwork blog 8 0 21327 true 2010-02-08T16:33:52-05:00 michael-cartellone-to-showcase-artwork false 118 2010-02-08T00:00:00-05:00 2010-02-08T16:30:33-05:00 10.0 1 false false false 101 2010-02-09T03:30:46-05:00 http://www.wentworthgallery.com 22965 538 I couldnt figure how to add them in the the post thats already here, so i made a separate post.
