A musical genius born of Frank Zappa, honed by Missing Persons, a talent matured to award-winning international acclaim with one of the biggest bands of the 80's & 90's,  Warren Cuccurullo has truly emerged as a musician’s musician and a rock star.

Born and raised in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, Warren started playing drums (age 9) and guitar at age 10 He formed bands and it quickly became the perfect way for him to try out his own ideas. He wrote his first song at age 14. and it was a favorite in his bands set.  By his late teens, Warren had become THE die-hard Frank Zappa fan, and for much of the decade, would travel far and wide to catch Zappa in concert. It wasn't long before he became friends with members of Zappa's backing band, and eventually, Zappa himself. He appeared in a backstage segment for Zappa's concert movie Baby Snakes, and soon enough got the phone call he'd been waiting for. Warren was invited to try out to for a coveted vacant guitar slot in the band. Cuccurullo got the gig, appearing on tour with Frank, and on such albums as Joe's Garage: Acts 1-3, Shut Up & Play Yer Guitar, Tinseltown Rebellion, and volumes one, four, and six of the You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore series. 

After his tenure with Zappa, Warren moved on to form the new wave outfit Missing Persons.  The band enjoyed success early on with such hit singles as "Words" and "Destination Unknown," from their gold-certified debut album Spring Session M. The band toured internationally and released 2 more albums; Rhyme and Reason, and Color in Your Life. But with growing internal tensions in the band, Missing Persons eventually broke up. Coincidentally, Warren got word from an insider that one of the most photographed pop groups at the time was about to lose their founding guitarist, and he inquired about joining. Cuccurullo was soon invited on board (and quickly included as an official band member) and went on to record and write on the albums: Notorious, Big Thing, Liberty, the self-titled release “The Wedding Album” (for which Warren was awarded songwriting honors from ASCAP), Thank You, Medazzaland (which included Cuccurullo’s composition ‘Electric Barbarella’ – a pioneer in online music sales), and Pop Trash an album that the bands singer described as 'a Warren Cuccurullo solo album' in large part to an organizational and music direction skill that began when Warren was just 14 and perfected with his tenure and relationship with Frank Zappa.

The anthemic songs penned by Warren during that time have been covered repeatedly by hundreds of artists from rappers to opera legend Luciano Pavarotti and are a staple in film and television soundtracks.

Despite an intense schedule, Warren’s immense creativity and decades long devotion to sobriety & exercise afforded him the opportunity to work on several side projects and write, produce and record solo albums including Thanks to Frank, Machine Language, Roadrage,  The Blue featuring Shankar and The Master with Ustad Sultan Kahn.

When Warren was asked to leave the band to make way for a reunion with their original guitarist, Warren went on to release ‘The Blue‘ with Shenkar and record the solo albums ‘N-liten up’, Playing in Tongues, ‘Chicanery’ (w/Neil Carlill), release both  ‘The Master’ with Ustad Sultan Khan and a side art project called TV Mania with Nick Rhodes,  form and record ‘The Rose Vortex’ with jazz tenor sax legend Azar Lawrence,  Tommy Mars & Joe Travers, & now in 2019. he is developing his "one Man Jam band' and  releasing ‘Missing Person’ a collection of songs recorded with guest musicians and vocalists which features a cover of one of Warren’s favorite tracks, Gary Numan’s ‘Me I disconnect from you’ and a tribute to Prince with '1981'.

 Hello Machine came together in 2008 when Luke Dewitt and Jeff Rebrovich, both veterans of the DeLtroit music scene, decided to create a sound based on their diverse  musical influences and experiences. The result was the 2010 release SONGS FROM AN UNFILMED MOVIE, a journey through the depths of the human psyche and beyond. Highly cinematic and steeped in raw emotion, SONGS FROM AN UNFILMED MOVIE explored incredibly personal themes of loss, deception, evolution and redemption, strapping the listener in and immersing them in scenes that are thought-provoking, while also pushing the sonic envelope.

Now after a year of writing and recording, three new consecutive releases beginning with the forthcoming EP "Bordello", HM again tackles the psyche with relatable themes of various introspective & social attributes bound again by the need to envelop the listener with every note and every word. 

"As odd as it may be to say, I've had all of this music, and all of these arrangements in my head that were in a constant state of contradiction,” explains Rebrovich.  “And we have felt that mainstream music has seemed at times to lack a certain critical element that keeps the listener actually listening, That's where Luke's genius comes to play because he is one of the most brilliantly demented storytellers I've ever gotten the chance to work with. His lyrics pull you in and make you listen. And there is so much amazing music out there that has gone largely unnoticed that does just that,...pulls you in. Go exploring people! It's an exciting time to be a musician & a listener. Anything goes. There's something for everyone."

"This new material is all very exciting for us because, though Luke and I have been friends for years, and in various music incarnations in the past, writing together was mostly in passing and rarely as creatively intense as the writing of these songs."

Nevertheless, Hello Machine is a relentless and passionate project that has only begun its musical allegory.  Constantly creating and exquisitely evolving, Dewitt and Rebrovich are fiercely determined to leave a lasting mark on the modern musical lexicon, boldly declaring “The Future is Ours.”
