Yann Armellino is a French lead guitar player combining different musical styles. Influenced by the eighties hard rock, he is following a productive career. 4 cds done, from the 1st, really heavy, out in 1999 to the fourth Crossrocks (2004) which shows his capacity to include blues root to a modern sound. Music passionate, he listen like a truthful fan to what the world brings to his ears : KISS, his youth favourite band, never denied, the Van Halen brothers, Vivian Campbell, Ian Moore, Joe Satriani, guitarist magazines compared both technically (physically, it is impossible to mix them up-see picture). His journey is intriguing, studio perfectionist, low profile, not effusive, it is on stage that we can discover his truthful spirit, his simplicity, his audience respect .He picks up his guitar hero attitude, not because he is vain but because he is a genuine one, honest with no showing off. The proof: an immediately recognizable sound played with ease. He is contributing to numerous guitar players magazines, giving to everybody his tablatures. Gimme the Sound, Yann's fifth album, opens a new path in his career and catalyzes a project he started when he was learning his first scales! Indeed, this new project dubbed Y&C, materializes the meeting with his old-time friend, Chris Caron - a French-American singer (a real one!) with an expressive, warm voice. Chris is a friend with whom Yann dreamed to write songs when they were kids!
