Born to immigrant Italian parents, Sydney-based Alfredo Malabello is a true citizen of the world, and his colourful career has transported him to many places across the globe. “I’ve played in cities as varied as New York, Nashville, Tokyo, Milan, Dusseldorf, Saint Moritz, Munich, Rome, London, and all over Australia of course. What a trip it’s been!”

With over 30 years experience on stages around the world, Alfredo has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s most remarkable live artists. He has performed at VIP parties for Canadian crooner Michael Bublé, he’s entertained guests at a lavish ceremony to celebrate the opening of the 2011 Formula One in Melbourne, and he’s also shared the Sydney Opera House stage with Tina Arena. “Tina used to come and sing with me in a small bar in Melbourne in the late 1980s, and it was a special moment when she recently chose me to sing ‘The Prayer’ with her, backed by a grand sixty piece orchestra. It was a glorious highlight of my career.”

Along with his credentials on stage, Alfredo has also cemented his status as an exceptional recording artist. His 2010 debut album ‘Ciao Bella’ peaked at Number 4 on the Jazz and Blues chart in Australia, spending an astounding twenty-seven weeks in the Top Twenty. “I was pleasantly surprised with the success of ‘Ciao Bella’, and I’m thrilled I’m able to connect with so many people.” His 2nd album ‘The Two Of Us’ achieved the number 2 spot on the National ARIA Jazz and Blues Charts in Nov 2011.

He is a man of many surprising talents. He has established himself as an actor, getting major roles in the acclaimed SBS series ‘Carla Cametti PD’, Channel Nine’s successful ‘Underbelly Files’, ABC’s ‘The Devils Dust’, ‘Tricky Business’, UK TV’s ‘Dripping In Chocolate’, and as the lovable Rocco ‘The Barrista’ in the national CGU campaign.

Even though he claims to be a ‘damaged rogue’, Alfredo proudly admits he wears his heart on his sleeve. “I’m a hopeless romantic! In relationships, I believe a man has to be a rock.” And as Alfredo promises, “When it’s just me and my piano, you get to the real heart of who I am.”
