[edit] Biography

He started drumming with the band Brunette in 1983 at the age of 17 but soon took up the singing position as that was his prime passion. They released only one demo with this band despite getting an increasing amount of fan interest. They decided to call it quits in 1991 due to indifferences. He then he started working with his brother on songs for an album they were going to call 'brothers'. However Neil Schon, Journey's guitarist saw them and asked if he could play with them, and they agreed. Then in 1992 they released their first effort, entitled Double Eclipse,and called themselves Hardline which was moderatly successful but not enough to get into the mainstream music. After this they began writing songs for a second album but once again called it quits while recording the songs due to other troubles. Back in 1998, vocalist Jeff Scott Soto left the Axel Rudi Pell band, and Axel called Johnny Gioeli for his Oceans of Time CD, which up to date has been considered as one of the best Axel Rudi Pell albums so far.
