I recently Caught up with the Newest Kid on Block, This cool rapper and smooth singer Vito Whose Real Name is “Micheal Ovie Ikaka” From Delta State. Born and breed in Lagos, Festac Town. Born on the 27 of July 1994. 

He started his music career officially early last year recording on a Virtual DJ in his room, then went on to hook up with a Talented producer “Olayinka “WOYE SOUNDS” Olawoye” who spotted the raw talent in him and began recording songs and Mixtapes. Earlier this year, he hooked up with the C.E.O of Brodock Music Group (BMG) RICHMOND  who signed him under the Label and has already recorded over 50 songs..

 Looking forward to be one of the Top names in the music Industry,VITO already has songs in the works Featuring Solid Star, Doray, Korede Bello, Henry Knight & Young “YC” Carter of TINNY ENTERTAINMENT. and his latest Single SOFA ft the Kontrol Master W4

 Locally and internationally, Vito Hopes to work with artistes he feels would be able to interprete his vision for music and bring It to reality including the likes of Wizkid, Flavor and Tiwa savage, Chris Brown. These are artistes Vito draws inspiration, He explains his stage name VITO to mean Means life.
