Stella Crispo I am a singer pianist, Italian performer and leader of 'In the Name of Love'

Whether a solo or group performance, we request enough space on the stage or the floor to be comfortable. We will also need to be near electrical sources. Convenient parking especially for loading and unloading is always appreciated.

It is helpful to know where to unload, if there is any backline including sound and to request that the band be fed.

Yes, I have sound and lighting.

Yes, I can provide music for breaks.

The best gig that I regularly have is performing the American National Anthem at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. I'm always in awe to be in a 20,000+ person stadium and the audience is always appreciative. I have also performed in prominent venues throughout the NYC area including B.B. King's in Manhattan and at Newark's Performing Art Center in Newark, NJ specially requested to perform before Liza Minelli's show. I have also participated in the San Remo Festival in Italy and will have my song 'Day After Day' represented in Monaco this November. Lastly, I just booked my first movie which will begin shooting in November as well.

I enjoy any event that helps people to have a good time whether they are singing along to a favorite or surprised to hear a song they haven't heard in a long while.

I've been a professional musician since the age of 18. I've worked with numerous bands, appeared off-Broadway, recorded jingles, opened for Italian-American headliners, given plenty of concerts and perform the American and Italian National Anthems. As a songwriter, I have several original songs on all digital platforms. I also had the opportunity to study with prominent NYC coaches including Mariah Carey's mother.

My biggest influences were Linda Ronstadt, Ann Wilson (Heart) and Freddie Mercury. All three are my favorites for different reasons. Some of the greatest songs of all time are Feels Like Home and Somebody to Love.

I have always worked hard to be as versatile as possible. Today, I am a classically-trained rock singer and can sing anything from American Songbook to rock, disco and R&B. As a first-generation American, I am also fluent in Italian (dual citizen) and love performing in Italian. My song list is versatile and includes songs such as That's Amore and Mambo Italiano as well as Bocelli favorites and Puccini arias. 'In the Name of Love' is my Classic Rock band and I am so grateful to be backed by incredible NJ and NY musicians.

We usually arrive about 1 hour and 1/2 before sound check and like to perform 3 sets at the most although I/we are always open to the client's requests.

As long as there is electricity, performing outside is enjoyable.

I/we have a set list that the client is always welcome to look at. I pride myself on honoring as many of the client's musical requests as possible.

As a soloist, clients always comment on my voice and range of repertoire. For the band, there is not one event that goes by that the client and audience members do not comment on our 'love-filled' energy and song list which includes all of the favorites along with a handful of songs that are a pleasant surprise.
