Buddy Annoreno - Lead Vocals

In early 2009, Buddy founded what would eventually be called HINGE. Born and raised in Chicago, Buddy remembers singing into an old cassette tape recorder without any music. During his early teens years, Buddy would sing in his basement to bands like the Beatles, Styx and REO Speedwagon to the lovey-dovey songs he would never admit that he liked. He's had training in piano and guitar but doesn't confess to be proficient in either one. He maintains his background in music theory.

Years back, Buddy played keyboards and sang for a few no-name bands who never made it past the basement door but when asked why he doesn't play an instrument in Hinge, he replies "I'm not too good at either one anymore; not nearly to the level that would be needed... "

Buddy is an IT director for a distribution company in Chicago. He's culinarily trained and holds a private pilot rating. Buddy was born on August 24th.
