FRANK CÓLON - HISTORY
Frank Colón, born October 13, 1951, is an American Musician and Martial Artist of Puerto Rican (USA) descent.
Born in Washington, D.C., Colón moved from there to Puerto Rico at the age of five. His musical instruction began at age eleven, beginning with classical piano lessons, under the guidance of Angelina Figueroa and Rafael Figueroa, both members of Puerto Rico's most prestigious classical music family. Colón kept up his piano studies throughout his teenage years, trying his hand at pop guitar, electric bass, and trap drums, as well. He was also very active in municipal and collegiate sports, martial arts, and amateur theater. During this time, he worked with various local pop music groups throughout the island of Puerto Rico.
In 1970, he moved back to Washington, D.C. to attend college at American University, where he majored in Political Science. During this time, his musical orientation changed from melodic instruments to percussion. Finishing his university requirements, he turned full-time to his music.

THE STORY UP TO KNOW...
I started my musical adventure at the age of seven when I was first introduced to the piano by my father, who is a professional percussionist in the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra. I took lessons from one of my fathers students who also studied piano, but didn't really have the enthusiasm to practice or play classical music. In the end I learnt to read music fluently and play intermediate compositions.
It wasn't till high school that my hobby took a step in a more serious direction when I was introduced to Stratovarius, Yngwie Malmsteen and later on to Dream Theater. Here was Jens Johansson playing complex, lightning fast solos and duelling with Yngwie. This was a totally different domain than the classical world I had been introduced to. I was fascinated that keyboards could be used in such a fashion. A couple of years later I performed first time as a band with a guitarist called Sami Juusola. We played at a school happening a Stratovarius' song called Destiny. That's when I played my first solo.
From there on I started composing my own songs and formed a band with my little brother Nicholas and a guy called Sami Juusola who knew a bass player called Olli Hakala who knew a drummer called Sauli Mannevaara. Since then me, Nicholas and Olli have played in Simulacrum. The current line-up is strengthened with Tatu Turunen on drums, Petri Mäkilä on guitar and Niklas Broman & Erik Kraemer on vocals. Simulacrum's music can be described as modern progressive metal that pays deep respect towards the old classic bands like Dream Theater, Shadow Gallery & Symphony X, but also has modern djent elements incorporated into the music. Simulacrum is currently working on their third album, which should see an early 2020 release.
In 2007 I graduated from the Turku Conservatory with a degree in audio technology and piano. In 2017 I graduated from the Turku Arts Academy with maximum points from thesis on music marketing and creating a brand within the music industry. I am currently for hire as a sound/video producer or keyboard player through my company Dark Noise Productions. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or work-offers at christian@darknoiseproductions.com.
During the years I have been composing, my music has evolved from neo-classical metal to a more diverse blend of aggression, fusion, classical and progressive rock/metal. I'm bored with the fact that very many of the progressive bands today lack imagination, diversity, balls and aggression. When listening to my compositions you will also here the influence of impressionistic composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, Frank Zappa, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Andromeda, Adagio, Symphony X, Spiral Architect and Meshuggah.
Besides Simulacrum, I am currently a member of a symphonic power metal band called Epicrenel, which features members of Amberian Dawn, Thaurorod and ex-Adagio. The debut album 'The Crystal Throne' was released March 2013 and my role on the album was principle sound producer, keyboard player and orchestral arranger. I am also a member of a progressive metal band called Adamantra, which is currently working on it's third album. I was also a member of the international melodic metal band Eden's Curse from 2015 up to the point that the band quit in 2019. During my years in Eden's Curse I toured all over Europe on joit tours with bands like Michael Schenker Fest, Mob Rules & Freedom Call. Besides live performances, I was featured on one Eden's Curse studio album Cardinal (2016, AFM Records) plus two special album's Revisited (2017) & Testament (2018).
