 Mob4
is an original modern rock band based in southwestern Connecticut.
The bands founders are Pasquale (lead vocals) and Vince Bossio (lead
guitar/background vocals). They were both raised in Bridgeport, CT
and each began his musical careeer at an early age. Both had formed
bands even before high school.
Writing and performing original music quickly became a passion that
they just could not resist. As they got a little older, they made
frequent trips to nearby Greenwich Village in NYC - at first they
just took in the fantastic original music scene. After forming Mob4
they began to perform there themselves

Mob4 combines elements of funk and soul with straight-forward rock
and roll to produce a sound that appeals to a wide range of
listeners. With a musical style similar to 3 Doors Down,
Matchbox Twenty or Lenny Kravitz, the band emphasizes "feel"
and "groove" instead of speed and volume. Mob4 has been
favorably compared to several established artists both past
and present. The mass appeal of the Mob4 sound stems from a
commitment to fresh melodies, lyrics and rhythms combined
with the undeniable pulse of their hard rock upbringing.

Pasquale's thoughtful lyrics and unique vocal style have been
cultivated through years of writing, recording and
performing original music. Always the showman on-stage, he
is not afraid to speak his mind... or bare his soul.
Vince Bossio studied classical, blues and jazz guitar for many
years. He is completely at home playing clean, crunchy,
acoustic, electric or just plain down & dirty.
Bassist Juan Olivetto hails from Argentina and has played in
jazz and gospel bands in addition to rock outfits. His
unique style and energy help to keep Mob4's sound the way it
has always been - original and fresh

Mo b4 knows how to have a good time while performing on
stage, in the studio or anywhere else.
The chemistry they
share helps the music to flow freely and their positive
energy is transferred to the audience. Mob4's on-stage
persona is somewhere between an all-out party band like Van Halen and a meticulous synergy of musicians such as Rush.
Their on-stage identity combined with a diverse set list of
original modern rock makes Mob4 a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
In late 2002, the band recorded a 3-song demo at the Sound
Emporium in Nashville, TN. Baldwin Entertainment (a
production / promotion company based in Nashville) had
received a copy of an earlier Mob4 demo recorded in CT and
felt the music was very marketable. With positive feedback
from veteran music insiders such as Miles Copeland, Mob4
appeared to be on the cusp of commercial success in the
music industry. But "the business" is definitely tough and
breaking through would not be that easy.
The music business requires patience and above all
persistence. In 2003, Pasquale teamed up with a well-known
music publisher who in turn contacted a producer in New
Jersey. Pasquale emerged from the recording sessions with a
new song built on Mob4's unique sound and Pasquale's
signature vocal style. Mob4 shot a video for "I'll Be There"
in late 2003. It was at this same time that major-labels
came knocking. Looking for one more certified hit Pasquale
went into the studio in early 2004 with a different producer
- this time from New York City.
They re-worked a Pasquale classic called "Gone But Not
Forgotten" into another mainstream gem. With interest from
several major labels, Mob4 again appears to be heading
toward commercial success in the music business. The mass
appeal of the Mob4 sound and their polished live performance
make the band members confident that they will provide a
significant, positive return on any major label investment
