Frank Infante's life journey began in the vibrant city of New York, where his musical odyssey would eventually unfold. His professional career as a musician started in the early 1970s, when he began to play the guitar in the band Sniper, laying the foundation for his future endeavors.
As his skills and experience grew, Infante went on to play with various rock and blues groups, including World War III and Elegant End, further honing his craft and building his reputation as a talented musician.
However, it was his collaboration with Blondie that would bring him widespread recognition. Infante joined the band in 1977, initially playing bass guitar on their album Plastic Letters (1978),although he did not appear on the cover. Shortly after, he switched to playing guitar, as Nigel Harrison joined the band.
Blondie's early years were marked by struggles, but their perseverance paid off with the release of the iconic album Parallel Lines (1978),which became a platinum-selling record in both the United States and the UK. Infante remained a key member of the band until their eventual breakup in 1983.
Although he did not rejoin Blondie when they reformed in the late 1990s, Infante continued to pursue his passion for music, collaborating with other renowned artists, such as Joan Jett, Iggy Pop, and the New York Dolls.
Today, Infante continues to perform and record with his own band, Infante's Inferno, a testament to his enduring commitment to his craft and his ability to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing musical landscape.
