Everything is ready for the arrival of VP – Vito Polizzi, the Italian/American Rap singer. Vito is the son of immigrants originally from Borgetto in Sicily, and as an honour to his parents, who made so many sacrifices so that he could pursue his musical and artistic career, his first concert on the 14th of March in Borgetto is FREE.!!
The video on the 13th & 14th will be run by Polizzivideo, which will then be transmitted to the American market via the internet and satellite network.
The history of VP is very interesting and today he lives in Los Angeles. His music is atypical of a rapper- as often this music is associated and emphasizes the misfortunes for young people involving drugs, alcohol and violence. This artist has always declared his adversity to drugs, smoking, alcohol and violence, along with a clear
message, to protect the environment, proclaiming plastic as a major factor in pollution.
Of him self Vito Polizzi says, “I am very stubborn but always ready to get in a debate and share my views. I do not consider alcohol and smoking a form of entertainment. I prefer to drink my milk from a good old fashioned carton than plastic!!”
He also has a very positive outlook on the world with a pure and gentle soul. He says “I have a habit of starting to read magazines from the last page as often the best is kept till last. I like beautiful machines, but I do not like to boast with luxury and, I don’t understand anything about engines! Dramatic films make me cry and action movies increase my adrenalin.”
Born in Detroit, and living in the suburbs, VP grew up with the same characters now so famous in hip hop today. He did not live in the area of drugs and weapons, but came from a good family who gave him an excellent education. So his music is not like any other rapper and as such sets him apart from them. He says of Rap music, “Despite listening as a boy to music not aired on radio, a raw and crude music, I became the opposite, preferring to listen to Snoop Doggy Dog, Dr. Dre, 2Pac and sometimes the Notorious B.I.G” and these are the artists that have more than influenced his tastes in respect of Rap and hip hop.
During his adolescent years, rap and hip hop became an integral part of his life. Between the ages of 18 and 19 he began to “Free style” for fun. He shared this with people on the internet and received much positive feedback. This was the start for a 9 year old boy who left messages on his home answering machine.
His tributes on the web are also to cooking! “The best is Italian food, one of my favourite dishes is pasta, I love to eat often! The best, of course, being cooked by my mother Rita!”
He says of his character and family “I can sometimes seem hypocritical but it is probably because I am much more honest than many others. I love my family to the point I could not imagine life without them by my side.”
His artistic nature and love of rap were first left in the form of messages on his answering machine at the age of 9! They became a hit with his family and friends, and this was the starting point for his development in subsequent years. Today is receiving strong encouragement and growing respect in the artistic world.
VP recalls with tears in his eyes, a particular episode in the early days of his career. “One day I was in the car with my family and I decided to put on a CD I had recorded. My father asked me – “Who is singing?” – when I said it was me he was shocked and said – “You did this? You wrote this song!?” Considering he comes from an old fashioned Italian family, VP was shocked to hear such encouragement from his father, who wanted him to pursue his singing of Rap. As VP says, “God
moves in mysterious ways!” Soon after he met the producer Fero Navi who he still works with today, he has produced almost all his songs and a few hits by Otiv records.
With the help and encouragement of his father he set up a studio and recorded in his home. This made it easier for him to develop material and make it his own. Soon after he finished in the studio he returned to the producer in Michigan in 2005 and recorded his first CD “Watch your Mouth”. He wanted to see what people thought of him as an artist and the results were surprising, it was played 4 or 5 times in different local venues and received very positive feedback from fans, producers and other artists. After this success VP returned to his studio to work on his second CD entitled “Hypocrite”. This is the album VP will present on tour in Italy and for the first time in Borgetto.
Even though his music can be hard it is based on the themes of every day life.
Therefore his songs represent and tell stories to the masses with depth and versatility through Italian Rappers and clubs.
The last phrase of his biography sums up his extraordinary personality and inspiration. “My style is to take Robert West, with Eminem, add a touch of Slick
Rick, a bit of sauce and oregano……..all followed by a glass of good red wine.”
The concert will be held on the 14th march 2009 at 19.00 hrs in Borgetto, giving the opportunity to launch positive messages to the population and in particular to the young people at this influential age.
