Hailing from Minnesota, Troy Castellano has been creating and performing music since 1986. Always reaching for more heart and soul, Troy has been tapping into the magical well of feelings and emotion creating memorable songs and instrumental music for over two decades.

Throughout his career in music Troy has written, produced and recorded a full length CD with his own band the Troy Castellano Group (self titled ©1999) that received airplay on 5 Minnesota radio stations and has recently engineered, produced and recorded a 6 song EP/CD called Reliability Test Lab (© 2006) with his current cover/original band, To The Core. At the time of this writing To The Core is getting local airplay. To The Core has also garnered the cover of the music magazine Stone Roller (March 2006 & March 2005) and received great reviews in local music news magazines.

Along his journey Troy has recorded music with a few regional bands as well. One of the songs he played lead guitar on called “Barnstorming” by The Street, was selected to be the theme song for Iowa’s arena football team, the Iowa Barn Stormers. Troy also engineered & recorded songs with the brilliant talent, Amanda Harris; produced and recorded Amanda's original band Gingerjake first demo which helped them place 2nd in a battle of the bands contest. In turn, the win, gave them a slot on the bill at the 93x Music festival in 2004 (MN/WI). They opened for Tap Root, Seether, and Theory of a Deadman. Gingerjake is on the verge of being signed to a major record deal.

Today Troy's passion for music is even stronger than ever before. Writing more everyday, Troy is now on the pursuit of getting his music recorded by other artists, placement in film and TV, as well as continuing to rock the “hood” with his constantly booked band To The Core.
