About DJ Vivona: Since the age of 13, DJ Vivona’s passion for music drove him to attain a Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory from the acclaimed University of Palermo.
His dj set is an imaginative fusion between Deep and Tech sounds without any limit, until Electro vibes. His musical ispiration start from the soul of 70’s sounds, passing by the Elettro flavor of the 80’s.

He has hosted international superstar performances by Jamiroquai, India, Barbara Tucker, Anane, Joi Cardwell and Monique Bingham. He also played outside his country. His music touched the dancefloor of the “Club 414” in London, “Ocean Ten”, “Clevelander Hotel” and “Cafè Bustello” in Miami, and “Coco Maya”, \”The Room\” and \”Mandala\” in Playa Del Carmen (Mexico).
