Major Music Producer Seeking Talent

Don Vito has crafted hit singles for Bow Wow & Omarion, Cherish, Yung Joc, Lil Wayne, Jagged Edge and many more.

Atlanta , GA May 30, 2008 -Veteran music producer Don Vito could possibly be Atlanta 's most known unknown producer. Before the city became the music hub of the south, "the urban legend" put in work to earn the title, having created smashes for A-town Hip Hop forefathers Raheem The Dream, Kilo and Ghetto Mafia to name a few.

The Gary, Indiana-made, Atlanta, Georgia-paid, the producer born Rodney Richard entered Hip Hop as a DJ studying Southern icons such as Grammy-winning DJ Toomp, star-making DJ Nabs and hit-crafting DJ Cooly C. Their duality as both DJ and producer would eventually rub off on Vito as he hopped from behind the tables and behind the board to produce artists that unbeknownst to him, would become Southern Hip Hop legends.


Before enjoying his current success and commanding his current salary, Vito worked various jobs while collecting between $100 to $750 per track. It wasn't until he hooked up with Tricky Stewart that he went from doing credit collections to collecting credits. Stewart, the man behind #1 hits such as Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body,” Rihanna's "Umbrella" and The Dream's Love/Hate project, among countless others, recruited Vito into his Red Zone Entertainment production team.


While Vito has produced chart-topping hits for Shonuff Records certified gold-selling female quartet Cherish ("Do It"), R&B crooners Jagged Edge (“Good Luck Charm”) and has made history with mega-singles for Bow Wow and Omarion ("My Girlfriend"), he has still managed to stay rooted in Hip Hop with his production of smashes like Yung Joc's "Coffee Shop" and remixes for Boyz N Da Hood and Dem Franchize Boyz. Vito is currently looking to re-create that same hit-making magic on Cherish’s sophomore effort The Truth, with the lead single “Killa” featuring Yung Joc, as well as with two additional tracks he contributed “Notice” and “Silly.”


Vito, who likes to keep fresh talent within arms reach and has opened doors for other successful producers such as Nitti (Yung Joc, Plies, Eightball & MJG), also has the rare ability to switch styles as fast as the wind being that he combines his Midwest upbringing with his Southern influences. A self-confessed geek who probably has enough gadgets to make George Jetson jealous and has just as many record label A&Rs calling on him for beats as they do for computer tips, Vito plans to keep his name as well as his sound ahead of the curve.


Don Vito’s 2 newest joints are:

Gorilla Zoe “Dope Boy” & Lil’ Wayne featuring Yung Berg “Get Money”
