Gaetano Valic began playing guitar at the age of ten. He has been dedicated to the guitar performing professionally for twenty years, playing various types of music. Gaetano and Mimmo Scarpulla (who sings lead Italian vocals for Opera 3000) met twelve years ago, and Gaetano has been steadily employed with him ever since. Gaetano has added a touch of diversity, such as various impressions, and a bit of good old rock and roll, to a very professional and authentic sounding Italian band.
