BIG DADDY V HAILS from Lockport, NY and has been creating electronic music for over twelve years. He started out small mixing records in local Buffalo, NY club and it was at the age of 22 that he decided he wanted more out of the Electronica game. He started to create his own beats which he titled Gothcore and Rivittech. Being there were very little venues that played this kind of music Big Daddy V created a place for himself in the scene. He has produced 3 cd's, a published book of slam poetry, and currently aside from his music he is introducing a Street Shoe he calls Mindset in March of 2010.

Big Daddy V has played events all over the East Coast including, Seeing Red - Niagara Falls, NY, Green with Envy - Niagara Falls, NY, Turning Point - Fayettsville, NC, From Dusk Till Dawn - Buffalo, NY, WEMF, Ontario, Canada, Urban Vibe 1 - 9, Buffalo, NY, Haunting, South Bend, IN, Top o' The World, Jim Thorpe, PA, Hot Break Nights, Miami, FL, just to name a few and has played along side - Dj Rap, Tiesto, Paul Okenfold, Sasha, Digweed, Dj Hardware, Analog Pussy, Dr. Trance, The Angstfaktor, and many others.

Big Daddy V mixes many manners of electronic style into his music though he has a fondness for Breakbeats mixed with a little funky house and UK Hard Trance. He is a live PA artist using all digital equipment.

Big Daddy V owes his influences to many an artist and many a friend out in the world but lists his greatest influence as his daughter Alexis. Big Daddy V said, " When I think of my daughter I think of all that has been and all that will come, she is everything to me." In

2009 Big Daddy V was involved in a serious accident that almost took his life. He has since realized his musical and verbal gifts and plans to take the world by storm.
