Having been the breeding ground for a legion of iconic musical acts in its notable history, California delivers yet another powerfully creative and significant rock band to inspire the next generation of listeners. Recently voted by Music Connection Magazine for the second time as one of the Top 100 Unsigned Bands in the U.S.A., is North Hollywood's power trio Magnetico. 

In their short history, the group have performed shows around the U.S. and in other continents such as Europe, Asia and South America. Other notable accomplishments have included playing on both KISS Kruise V and VI along with KISS and other renowned rockers Steel Panther, Lita Ford, Kings X and Skid Row. As well, drawing more notoriety to the band was their tour across the west coast supporting Steel Panther. Topping the band's most prestigious gigs to date however, was opening for KISS themselves on the 4th of July, 2016 at the AVA Amphitheater in Tuscon, Arizona. 

The group was founded by guitar virtuoso, singer/songwriter and producer Rafael Moreira and had many different rhythm sections through out the years.  Rafael is best recognized for his appearance as lead guitarist on such blockbuster television series as Rock Star: INXS, Rock Star: Supernova, The Voice (Season 3 and 4) and American Idol (Season 9, 13, 14 & 15 finale). His guitar brilliance has allowed him to be featured on the cover of U.S.A.'s Guitar Player Magazine (online) and has performed with some of rock and pop’s most elite artists including Paul Stanley (KISS), Pink, Don Felder (The Eagles), Cristina Aguilera, Marc Anthony, Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Tommy Lee (Motley Crue) and Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction) to name a few. 

Magnetico's debut album “Songs About the World”, is a hard-hitting release built on heavy riffs, thoughtful lyrics and strong choruses. Songs such as “The Emperor”, “Indigenous”, “Letter for a Friend” and “Avalanche” displays the group's musical vision and their versatility moving from heavy rock anthems to free-form improvised jams. As well, Rafael's blistering chops fill the album and remind the world that guitar solos are still alive and kickin' in the world of rock. 

Their second release “Death Race” seamlessly continues where “Songs About the World” left off. Laden again with explosive guitar tracks, clever vocal harmonies and insightful messages, the album ignites with tracks including “Sevenfold”, “Ordinary People”, “Death Race”, “Lady Friend of Mine” and “Hunter”. Produced by Rafael and mixed by Jay Ruston (The Winery Dogs, Anthrax, Stone Sour), the dynamics of each member shines through as well as the undeniable impact of every song which is big, bold and to the point. 

Today the band continues to build on their success in the U.S. and around the world. Loaded with raw talent, charged with energy and committed in the passion for creating and performing their music, fans can't help but be drawn into the powerful force that is Magnetico.
