Angelo Fresquet, “Made in
Miami”
Angelo Fresquet, was born in Fort Lauderdale,
Fl. But raised in Miami, at 1 yrs old Angelo’s family had been
living in the historic Hotel Essex on Collins Ave in Miami Beach
after having left their country in pursuit of a new life, little
did he know that when he’d grow up he’d be one of the key
developers of Miami’s Posh-Trendsetting Nightlife, his career in
Marketing, Sales, Management, Consulting & Special Events began
in 1989. At the time Miami Beach was not yet called South Beach and
the entertainment industry had begun to grow in Miami. With not
much to do those days most people resorted to having many house
parties, recalls Angelo. With a very diverse background in every
type of industry imaginable Angelo began his growth in Miami as a
young Actor/Model working many non-union & later union jobs.
His Acting/Modeling career holds numerous commercials & films
as well as print ads. Son of Famous & Legendary Cuban Parents
& family, Angelo’s Father is a famous international artist
& humorist Fresquito Fresquet & Angelo’s grandfather
Gonzalo Roig is the most famous music composer from Cuba, composing
music sang by Julio Iglesias & others. Although his acting
career was taking off, Angelo decided to also do business &
create a social network. He was crafting his way of doing business
through Special Events & networking in Miami’s nightlife in the
early 90’s. As the nightlife began to grow he began to produce
events in famed 1235 (now Mansion), Les Bains (later Chaos), Le
Loft & Dunes (later Liquid, now Suite), Cameo Theatre (now
Crobar), Penrods (now Nikki Beach/Pearl) and many more. During this
time he was also working in Corporate America for Fortune 500
Corporations leading their marketing departments in companies like
AT&T, Wachovia, Carnival Cruise Lines, and many more. He was
climbing a ladder & his background was as well rounded as any
one can be to reach all kinds of demographics. By the mid 90’s
Angelo was tailor making special events and collaborating with
Miami's nightlife elite like Gerry Kelly, Michael Capponi, Tommy
Pooch, Jorge Nunez, Chris Paciello & others with special events
at KGB, Shadow Lounge, Liquid, Bar Room, Lua’s, and many others. By
the mid to late 90’s Angelo had become a house hold name as one of
Miami’s elite impresarios. Success would follow him at his every
turn & continues to this very day.
He has accomplished a
repertoire for having the best events & collaborating on some
of the most distinguished & successful events in Miami. In

Beach/Pearl/ Hardrock/Ivy Aventura/Mansion/ Opium-Prive’/Crobar/
Suite & Snatch/ Amika/ Mynt/ Pawn Shop /The Forge / Club BED
& many more of Miami’s Hottest Venue’s.
His style of
marketing events, customer service, VIP exclusivity, Celebes,
Artists, and beautiful crowds that would gather made him the front
man & face corporations, artists, professionals, Celebes,
magazines & all socialites would want to have their events
coordinated & produced by.
He helped create the now famed
“open format” of music played by today’s DJ’s mixing all music,
rock, hip-hop, 80’s, house, etc. He later moved on from NOK, with
more than 19 yrs of experience in so many different industries
& with several television interviews, magazine interviews, and

Angelo’s favorite quotes… “A great
leader's courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not
position.” “Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but
far enough ahead to motivate them.” “Leadership is more? If not,
much more? Influence rather than position.”
