Vito, the self proclaimed CHAMP, was brought into this world by way of McCormick, SC in the midst of the hip hop revolution. His hypnotic beats, cleaver rhymes, and driven personality are creative characteristics that hold true to this Leo born artist. August 18th, 1984 was the day Vito was blessed with innate gifts that he has embraced, developed, and is now ready to share with the world. Vito began his music career at 11 like many other artist, in the church. He led the congregation through his rhythmic drum beats and melodic keyboard harmonies. His entrance into hip hop came through Master P’s “Ghetto Dope†CD that his cousin introduced him to when he was 13. The hard hitting bass and catchy hooks of southern rap strongly impacted his music and bread the talented artist that he is today. He states " I used to sneak and listen to P's "Ghetto D" in my room every night. My pops is a preacher, so you know that kind of music wasn't allowed in the house." At least until another Pastor, that goes by the name Pastor Troy took him to a whole nother level. He decided to pick up a notebook and pin, sit in front of his brother's keyboard, and teach himself this art form that had reached so many people. He says " I remember listening to Field Mob for the first time and thinking to myself , man these boys are unstoppable. They're the ones that thought me how to use punch lines in my verses. I used to have a high pitch voice when i rapped, and people would say that they liked my beats, but didn't like my voice. I guess i was just hardheaded because i was still making songs and still doing shows. i was a work-a-holic so to speak."
