VIRO
Viro made
his foray into music production at the age of 12. Armed with creative energy, he
dove into making original electronic music and soon discovered the endless
musical possibilities that came with it. Within two years of his production
career’s commencement, his passion had already become apparent amongst his
peers. Viro had taken all the energy a typical teenager might devote to
frivolous trouble-making and invested it into developing his own studio at home.
By the age of 15, the young artist had completed over 200 breaks, jungle, trance
and hip-hop tracks. Hence his music “vitae” was already evolving into an
impressive record of talent and accomplishments.
Viro's first big break came one year later when, at age 16, he won the national “No Tears Remix Contest” sponsored by the former record label Funkwax Records. He gained exposure, plus invaluable contacts with many of the same DJs and producers he admired and played.
From 2001 to 2003, Viro racked up more than just contacts and credibility. He put out 15 vinyl releases, received radio play across the United States and developed a diverse and multi-national fan base. Likewise, electronic music fans and DJs alike recognized him as an engaging performer from shows he played and his popularity continued to grow. Popular mandate in hand, Viro entered 2004 ready for new innovation. He started experimenting with new sounds and concepts and began incorporating live instruments into his productions. This trend continues with fervor, pumping out a fresh and edgy sound.
Now in 2006 and at 21 years old, Viro is quickly
becoming one of the most sought-after and cutting-edge producers in the domestic
market. With 34 vinyl releases, 2 CDs produced and released (Clean Slate,
Viro; and Here and Now, JennaVive), not to mention countless digital
releases off his own label, Nulogic Records (www.nulogicrecords.com),
this young producer has established himself as a force to be reckoned with.
