About Vito...

“I call myself a sound painter…”

My musical journey has been diverse. My earliest musical explorations were rooted in Pop, Rock, Jazz & Blues. Born in Los Angeles & by my teens was already hailed as a guitar virtuoso & working in L.A. clubs with original and cover bands. I grew up in a theatrical family, & my sister was always calling on me to create music for her shows. My dramatic instincts have been useful for music in film, TV & theatre projects - & songwriting in the Pop, Rock & Country fields. My extensive musical IQ also made him a sought-after guitarist, producer & multi instrumentalist.

My spiritual quest that paroled my interest in New Age and World Music scenes. Introduced to TM at 13, and later Buddhism and Yoga. 

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with such New Age & World Music artists as Constance Demby, Jai Uttal (Grammy Nominated), Steven Halpern & Donna De Lory.

Clients have included: Al Jewer & Andy Mitran, Grayhawk Gibney, Mark Seelig, New Age Pop artists Kimberly Haynes, Quincy Coleman, Mitzi Schwarz, Stacy Robin, Mary Gospe, & Prem Vidu. Merrill Collins [classical], Kathy Sanborn [jazz] and Copus Multimedia [Hip-Hop] further allow me to explore versatility.

In 2021, I completed “Song Divine The Bhagavad Gita Rock Opera“. The album was released to great acclaim. 

The following year 2022 saw the long awaited & well praised “Wild Monsoon” with 3x grammy winner Ricky Kej. 

In 2023 I worked on many projects with such artists as Samir Bodhi, Mariel, Nicole Gilbert, Chakuna Machi Asa, & Stewart Copeland [the Police].

2024 was also a banner year for releasing music. Lissa Coffey and David Vito Gregoli released “We Share The Moon” to acclaim in 2024, a follow up to our album “Song Divine The Bhagavad Gita Rock Opera”. The album paraphrases classic spiritual teachings by Rumi, Hafiz and others. 

Other collaborations in 2024 included Faith Rumer, Anitra Carr, various singles with Canadian Jim Gelcer (album coming in 2025), The acoustic fingerstyle guitar album “Kimo Vito” with Jim Kimo West as well as the ambient/newage album “Liquid Planet” with Ricky Kej.

In 2025, in addition to more singles with Anitra Carr, Stacy Robin and others, the New Age album “Quiet Expanse” with Jim Gelcer was well lauded, and the followup album with Jim Kimo West “Travelogue” received an overwhelming response.

Upcoming in 2026 is singer/songwriter Stacy Robin’s americana album “Where Truth Lies”, a collaboration with ambient guitarist John Gregorius, a Kahil Gibran inspired album with Juliet Lyons, and collaborations with artists like Anitra Carr, Russ Hewitt, Lissa Coffey, MB Gordy — and more coming.

Whether laying down guitar tracks, composing original music or adding depth & polish to artists I produce, I venture to bring integrity & unique artistry to music that defies pigeon-holes. I have this 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.

Let's make some music!!

I love working with Vito because he’s literally a one-man-band! He can play pretty much any instrument, plus he’s an amazing composer, arranger, engineer, and producer. He is even edits video! I rely on Vito’s experience and expertise and he always delivers. Vito is super creative, and can take a kernel of an idea and turn it into a symphony. On top of all this talent, Vito is also a genuine, kind person who cares about his clients and is passionate about his projects.

Vito Gregoli is the best Kirtan musician I know, and probably the best musician, period. Working with Vito means It’s All Handled. Need great guitar work? Bass? Sitar? Flute? Other exotic Indian instruments? Running the board? Arranging a song? Even video editing?! Vito can do it all.
He’s loyal and he’s my friend. He’s come through for me over and over again. He’s a relative newcomer to Kirtan (about five years), but, boy, do we need him now. I couldn’t imagine the Bhakti and Kirtan world without him.

Is there anything Vito can’t do? I continue to be in awe of Vito’s creativity, skills, experience and productivity. He is an amazing producer, recording engineer and multi-instrumentalist with a knack for finding the gem in every song and bringing them to life.

Vito and I are co-creating an album of 12 of my original songs. He challenges me to be the best writer and singer I can be. He captures the essence of each song and suggests re-writes to fine-tune the lyric, melody and chords. As a multi-instrumentalist, Vito quickly comes up with guitar licks, bass lines, live drum parts and unique instrumentation that surprise and thrill me. And then masterfully records them! Not only is Vito talented, he is a wonderful person and joy to work with.

Working with Vito was a life-changing experience. He was patient and helped me with my learning curve which I really appreciated. The album exceeded my expectations!

I had the pleasure of working with Vito on my last album, Recollecting You. One of the songs Vito performed on, “Falling,” won a 2017 Clouzine International Music Award for Best Jazz Song. I have no doubt that Vito’s consummate guitar playing was the key to winning that award. Brilliant is the word for Vito! Not only is he a musical genius capable of performing many styles with ease, Vito is as kind as he is talented. I am truly honored to know him.

Vito is an artist in the truest sense. He was able to comprehend my vision, and elevate it. The last project I hired Vito for had a very tight deadline, and not only was he able to complete it under the wire–he also handled my last-minute adjustments efficiently and without complaint. He is collaborative on all levels, I value his honesty–because he never settles for “good enough.” I felt gently pushed to do my best work and he in turn took what I did and made it even better. Honestly can’t say enough about the process AND the finished product. Thank you, Vito!

I’ve worked with Vito for many years. He has produced all my records and we’ve performed together many times. He really listens to the artists he works with and helps bring the best out of them. His studio is fabulous. It’s a great environment in which to work, very soothing and calming. He is a blast to work with and brings in a stellar product, on time and right on (or even under) budget.

Vito is a professional. He approaches all aspects of music-making with a can-do attitude. He constantly looks for ways to further enrich any project he is working on and is committed to every artist he works with to bring out the very finest. He is stylistically diverse, making it very easy to move between genres and feel completely held in knowledge and expertise. Vito has the ability to think inside AND outside the box. So, if you’re looking for straight ahead, he’s got it. If you’re looking for out of the box, he’s got you there too. As a songwriter himself with a rich background in composition, Vito was able to support me well in pulling together my ideas and bring to life what I envisioned.
