Frank D'Angelo is a multifaceted artist who has achieved success as a performer, businessman, philanthropist, and humanitarian. He began his career as the lead vocalist and front man of the popular Canadian band, "Toronto", thrilling audiences with their renditions of classic R&B hits.

He has released his 10th album CD, "Just give me one more moment", which reached #7 on the FMQB AC chart in the USA.

His two popular Toronto restaurants, "Mamma D's" and "Forget About it Supper Club", feature superb nouvelle Italian cuisine and a friendly, entertaining atmosphere.
