a little about me..
about me...
I'm proud to be a band geek! That's exactly why I've written a song called just that. I've been playing music since the third grade and haven't stopped since - clarinet, sax, bass guitar, keys, guitar and vocals is what I do. Composing is what drives me though and my love for writing impactful, meaningful songs for the world to hear
is what I strive to do - never stop doing what you love...never!!

Inspirational! Mr. Tomaselli is a multi genre artist and it shows in this song.. A fantastic melody and keyboard/piano sound with great lyrics. The track blends with an epic sounding guitar part. This song is a great listen and a must listen on N1M.

Great vocal performance! I love the way you use your voice on these songs, you are a very talented songwriter. I really like the little backups you do as well. they fit with the song very well. I enjoy the strings most of all very beautiful sounds.
You really have great dynamics in your music, the way you use those strings, keys and brass instruments to evoke emotions is world-class my friend you are doing great stuff. great drum and guitar solos towards to the end I love that do more of those mate!
fun ‘n games reviews on drooble
I love the messages in your songs! They reflect some of the things I think about. I think a lot of people will be able to relate with them too. The guitar on this is really good! The backup vocals and main vocals are great! I felt energetic listening to this. The hook is catchy so I just wanted to sing along.

a cinematic ballad of genius
Ralph Tomaselli's song called ( The Way She Makes Feel) is a cinematic ballad of genius. The music sounds like a romantic movie soundtrack and its short and sweet to its not over bearing. all in all its a good song. probably good for a wedding reception . I give this track a 5 out of five.

Smooth is the key
Now I remember who Ralph Tomaselli's voice reminds me of. A smooth Tom Waits; with a little Joe Cocker vibrato. Smooth is the key, and the smooth sine wave of Ralph's voice takes away all the sawtooth edge, and that is a style all his own. The piano is also smooth but the piano has a limited dynamic range compared to Ralph's voice. With that voice I sometimes feel pain, joy, self confidence, and always the thrill of making beautiful music. Thanks again Ralph, I'll let you go for now but I must listen one more time.
