Vincent DeGiorgio

Vincent "Vince" DeGiorgio (born in Brampton, Ontario) is a Canadian DJ, record producer, music publisher and songwriter.[1][2]

His recent work includes writing and co-producing hit albums for Caro Emerald, whose debut album Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor spent 30 weeks in the #1 spot on the Dutch Top 100.[3] DeGiorgio also wrote songs for Taiwanese singer Joanna Wang, who sings largely in English and is referred to as "Taiwan's Norah Jones";[4] her first album sold more than 10,000 copies in the first ten days of release.[5]

He is the founder of Power Records[6] (the oldest dance music label in English speaking Canada), Boulevard Records and Chateau Records.[7] The trio Tapps[8] (sometimes written T.A.P.P.S. - an acronym for the first letter of the original performers names: Tony DaCosta, Allan Coelho and Paul Silva - adding the extra "p" and "s" for effect. Vocalist Candy Berthiaume joined the group after the name had stuck) scored a major disco hit in 1983 with their Power Records produced single "My Forbidden Lover", co-written by DeGiorgio.[9]
