Chapter 2 Productions, Vancouver, Canada
Vince Degiorgio's extensive career can hardly be summed up in a few words, but here goes. At 13, inspired by his Maltese father's large record collection, he had already learned how to DJ in clubs. At 15 he was a manager at a record store and at 21, with his rep as a Toronto DJ established, he started his own label Power Records, a subsidiary of the influential Montreal disco label Unidisc. After spinning in clubs for 17 years, Degiorgio went on to co-write with techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson and eventually become a record exec at BMG. In Canada he broke countless dance records and when he took an A&R job in the U.S. where he happened to sign a group called N'Sync. After years in the industry where it's easy to become jaded, a conversation with Degiorgio reveals his keen knowledge and deep passion continues unabated.
