This episode I was joined by my special guest and friend Vito Gregoli!

Vito’s musical journey has been nothing if not diverse. His earliest musical explorations were rooted in Pop, Rock, Jazz and Blues, and shades of The Beatles, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck can be spotted in his work to this day.

Vito’s spiritual quest that led him to the New Age and World Music scenes. His interests in the healing power of music and his Classical background seamlessly blended in with his expansive experiments in New Age music.

Over the years, he’s had the privilege of working with such New Age and World Music artists as Constance Demby, Jai Uttal (featured on the Grammy Nominated “Mondo Rama” as guitarist and co-Producer), Deepak Chopra, Steven Halpern and produced and co wrote with for the acclaimed albums “Songs of Kuan Yin” with Donna De Lory for Sounds True Records.

Whether laying down killer guitar tracks, composing original music or adding depth and polish to artists he produces, Vito brings integrity and unique artistry to music that defies pigeon-holes. “I have the ability to hear something in everything — I can see ‘round the bend when someone plays me an idea. That inspires me in the job of Producer.”
