Victor Calderone

Victor Calderone (born in Brooklyn, New York) is a house music producer and DJ in the international nightlife scene.

Introduced into New York City's nightlife by his older brother, Calderone signed his first industry contract with Sire Records in 1991.

His remixing resumé is extensive, including hits for Beyoncé, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, and Sarah Brightman, among others. He also released several songs on his own, and he has twice hit #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. In 1997, he spent a week at the top spot with "Give It Up."

Calderone returned to #1 for two weeks in 2001 with "Are You Satisfied?," featuring vocals by Deborah Cooper. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number-one_dance_hits_of_2001_%28USA%29]

He has also collaborated with other house music producers—including, notably, Peter Rauhofer, the first Grammy Award winner in the Dance Music category. Known as The Collaboration, the project released a popular multi-CD set and several hit single tracks.
