BIO
Freedom Heartsong is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and multimedia artist whose music flows from the soul, blending blues, rock, and folk with a spiritual intensity that feels both timeless and urgently present. Known for his electrifying live performances and dynamic power trio shows, he has shared lineups with The Beach Boys, WAR, Canned Heat, and Cheap Trick to name a few, building a devoted fanbase through heartfelt songwriting, virtuosic guitar work, and uplifting, emotionally resonant energy. His music has received GRAMMY ballot recognition twice: for his 2020 single “Ecstatic Magic” from his debut EP Get a Heart On, and for “Evil Grieves” from his 2022 full-length album The Humane Experience.
Heartsong’s forthcoming album, The Revelation of Freedom Heartsong (June 26, 2026), marks a new chapter in his artistic evolution, bringing reflective, melodic folk-rock together with the fire, authenticity, and heart that define his sound. Anchored by originals such as “Shooting Stars” and “Don’t Forget To Live,” and featuring reinterpretations of Tom Petty’s “You Don’t Know How It Feels” and Neil Young’s “Old Man,” the album continues his exploration of presence, perseverance, and the liberating power of love.
Raised along Virginia’s southeastern coastline, Heartsong grew up immersed in salt air, infinite horizons, and the rhythmic pulse of the Atlantic — landscapes that continue to echo through his music. Rooted in Italian-American heritage and shaped by generations of vibrant New York family gatherings, he carries forward a deep reverence for beauty, connection, and expressive living.
Drawing early inspiration from Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, and Bob Marley, he picked up the guitar at age nine and began writing songs in elementary school. Known for composing entire songs in single lightning-strike sittings, Heartsong approaches songwriting as a channeling process. “More penning than writing,” he says, emptying himself of ego to allow melody, lyric, and spirit to flow freely. Music, for him, is a vehicle for awakening: to the self, to others, and to something greater. As he puts it, his work is about “inspiration, realization, and ultimately connection to Great Spirit; when people hear a song, or see a work of art that I have made, I hope it lights a fire in their heart to shine their light as bright as possible, to live the life of their dreams and be their very best.”
Get a Heart On captured youthful urgency and a call toward authenticity, while The Humane Experience, entirely self-produced and mastered by four-time GRAMMY-winning engineer Gavin Lurssen, reflected the struggles, challenges, and triumphs of the pandemic era with introspection and hope. Self-producing that record strengthened Heartsong’s confidence, solidifying his voice as an artist capable of creating music from start to finish.
A self-taught multimedia artist, Heartsong channels creativity across music, woodwork, ceramics, and painting. His hands-on approach mirrors the intuitive, flow-driven process he brings to songwriting. Travel from Costa Rica’s rainforests to Africa’s vibrant art communities and through the iconic music scenes of Los Angeles and New York continues to broaden his worldview and inform his artistry. Mentorship from the late Lavone Barnett-Seetal, a gospel powerhouse who toured with John Fogerty, and Alan Singer of West L.A. Studios shaped both his technical mastery and spiritual approach. Endorsements from Cleartone Strings, Supro, Blackstar Amplification, Warm Audio, and Thimble Slide further cement his standing within modern blues, roots, and folk communities.
For Heartsong, art is a vehicle for connection — to self, to others, and to something greater. “I hope people remember to smile,” he says. “To love. To live fully. And to return home to the light within.”
