Before Marty Angelo's dramatic and "electrifying" conversion to Christianity on March 28, 1981 and going into full-time ministry, he worked in the entertainment business for 15 years, getting his first breaks from "the late Jimi Hendrix" and "the late George Harrison." He managed several bands including the popular Top 40 rock group, The Grass Roots starring Rob Grill. Angelo also created, wrote, and produced the '70s trendy dance television show, Disco Step-by-Step® and in 1978 was voted one of the Top 20 disco record promoters in the world. He promoted hundreds of hit albums, singles, and 12" disco 45s, receiving numerous recognition awards for his efforts.

Angelo is featured in several documentaries, magazine articles, and radio/television productions. Since 1981, Marty Angelo has served God as an assistant aftercare director and Los Angeles area director for Chuck Colson's Prison Fellowship Ministries, counselor/teacher for Teen Challenge of Southern California, director of evangelism for Faith Farm Ministries and court liaison for the Drug Abuse Foundation's Palm Beach County Sheriff's 'Drug Farm' program. Angelo appeared numerous times on CBN's 700 Club television program and on TBN's Praise the Lord television show.

His testimony was dramatized in 1987 on the popular Christian radio program: "Unshackled" and was also published in Voice Magazine. He is currently a full-time prison evangelist, author, and teacher. His second book, "Vision of New Jerusalem: Now!" is due out in late 2007.
