Pino Frumiento

“We have transformed people’s views about people with learning disabilities. We’ve shown them 
that there is more to us than they think.”

Pino co-founded Heart n Soul with Mark Williams in 1986 and has built a vibrant songwriting career ever since, penning over fifty romantic songs and performing around the world—from Denmark to South Korea. His music often explores themes of love and romance, drawing inspiration from artists like Cliff Richard, The Beatles, and Dusty Springfield.

Pino is a core member of Heart n Soul Discovery, working on projects we are doing with other organisations to make change. In 2017, directed his first film What is Love?, and in recognition of his contributions to disability arts, Pino was awarded an MBE in 2010.
