Louis Colaiannia (coal-ee-AH-nah) is a native of Denver, Colorado. He has pursued music his entire life, with the simple goal of sharing his gift with the World.

Now in his 50s, (and as energetic as ever), Colaiannia is embarking on a public career, performing around the Denver area, and nationwide.

"This Colorado-born artist (a dentist by profession) hasn’t reached legendary status yet, he exhibits the same tools and level of talent that guaranteed his predecessors a place in musical history," wrote Joe Aiello, Publisher of Andiamo, a weekly newspaper for the Italian American Community.

Louis credits his success to sage advice given by his parents, Louis & Rose Colaiannia. “Mom always told me that if and when I ever set my sights on something, I should never quit…and Dad told me that I need to realize that everyone gets knocked down in life, but the successful get back up.”

When Louis isn’t busy writing, arranging or performing, he’s usually found working on a nonprofit radio station in support of the Global Youth Music Project.  For more information, go to http://www.louismusic.com/about/

Louis holds a Mozart Award for his contributions to music, and his latest releases show his versatility, breaking into the Contemporary Jazz, New Age and "Chill" realms.

His masterful interpretations of the electronic keyboard and traditional piano combine with his skillful arrangements to create music that moves the soul. Colaiannia sees his piano as an inspirational tool.  “Passion never gets in the way of life, but life sometimes get in the way of passion.”

During 2011, Colaiannia had two top ten chart albums.   Colaiannia has made seven albums in his career and is already working on a new album.

“I love music... music is emotionally-charged passion," Colaiannia said. "I write, arrange and perform in the hopes that my music will reach a level of acceptance that it will still get played after I'm gone.”
