Read Marty Angelo's hustle dance production experiences in his life-changing book:

"Once Life Matters: A New Beginning"

"In spite of this most recent success with my disco television show, my life was still full of confusion and hopelessness..."

"Oh, I seemed happy on the outside. But deep down I was completely empty..."

"I stayed high almost the entire day, listening to the hundreds of records people sent me..."

"But some people just can’t learn the easy way..."
