Steve Rimpici

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Earliest? Music was a big part of children's TV so my earliest memories would be the classical music in Tom & Jerry, classical and big band in Bugs Bunny, a mix of styles on Sesame Street and The Electric Company, and of course, Schoolhouse Rock. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Frank Sinatra, Come Fly With Me (Remastered) Franzl Lang, 25 Essentials of Franzl Lang (Mono Version) Spike Jones, The Best of Spike Jones Sinatra has been a huge influence on my singing style. The man is a music god. Franzl Lang yodeling is the happiest form of music. You cannot help but smile when listening. Spike Jones is a very underrated musician and also hysterically funny. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Seduced” Many people only know Leon Redbone from his duet of Baby It's Cold Outside from the Elf soundtrack. He was enormously talented (and strange) in the best ways. I'm happy to cover one of his biggest songs and introduce his style to new people. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I'm a voice actor for audiobooks, TV, and movies (see CarousHELL), but never fancied myself as a professional singer. I love when people tell me a character I voiced or a song I sang made them feel better, smile, and laugh (at or with are both fine). Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes, I'd like to invent a time machine so I can watch the Rat Pack live in 1962.
