Marty Angelo worked in the entertainment business from 1965 to 1980 as a television producer (Disco Step-by-Step), record promoter, restaurant/nightclub owner and personal manager for rock 'n' roll bands (Raven and Rob Grill and The Grass Roots). He received his first professional breaks in 1967 from rock guitarist, the late Jimi Hendrix and former Beatles legend, the late George Harrison.

After a drug arrest in 1980 for cocaine possession, Angelo became a Christian prior to serving a six-year federal prison sentence.

Upon his release on parole in 1984 Angelo worked for various Christian ministries such as, Faith Farm of Ft. Lauderdale, Fl, Teen Challenge of Southern California, Chuck Colson's Prison Fellowship and the Palm Beach Drug Abuse Foundation. Since 2005, Angelo has headed up two of his own ministries entitled, Marty Angelo Ministries, Inc. and Once Life Matters Ministries, Inc. Both ministries reach out to prisons, rehabs and troubled celebrities.

Angelo released a book in 2005 entitled, Once Life Matters: A New Beginning. The book goes into details of his life in the entertainment business during the '60s and '70s leading up to his arrest, prison life and Christian ministry work for over 30 years. The book is offered free to prisons, jails, rehab programs, and troubled celebrities.

In 2013 Angelo released the book, "Vision of New Jerusalem: Now" and in 2014 he released, "Once Life Matters: A New Beginning - 2nd. edition", "Lives that Matter: Letters from Prison", and "Inspirational Insights: Christ in You".
