Angelo De Augustine’s earliest memories involve accompanying his parents to work, which in practice meant hanging out in recording studios. His father, Tony, is a session drummer; his mother, Wendy Fraser, a singer. They split when De Augustine was four, at which point Fraser became her son’s primary source of musical education.
“She was a big influence for me,” says the softspoken 24-year-old from his home in lA. “She mostly sang back up for lots of artists, but she also sang ‘She’s like The Wind’, with Patrick Swayze, for the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. You can hear her at the end, and she’s in the video. That was her 15 minutes of fame, I guess, but she wrote her own songs pretty much my whole life. That was the main music I heard.”
