Vinny

Vinny D. was born and raised on Long Island, New York.  Since he was around 3 years old, performing has been the constant catalyst in Vinny’s life.  From school to Off-Broadway, from Disney to national and local television, from acting to dancing/choreographing, and from New York to Connecticut, back to New York and to Florida, Vinny D. has found his home.  He has his parents (John and Donna De Tomasso) and his 3 brothers to thank (John, Anthony, and Nick De Tomasso) for always pushing him in the right direction.  And now, he has a lot more people to thank at this point in his life as well.  They include first and foremost, his fiancé Melissa Poole and their family (Curtis, Diane, and Kacie Poole, as well as The Foremans) and the Lord as well (of course).  He hopes to entertain for as long as the Lord allows him to live; he also hopes to pick up where his father and grandpa George Foster Foreman left off …he wants it all!!!He is thrilled to have been blessed with the best family and the greatest friends.  And of course, he is very thankful for his band brothers: …otherwise known as:  BIG TIME NOBODIESHe hopes to see you all at the next show!!!

John De Tomasso was born in Long Island, New York in 1973. He is the eldest of 4 boys. One of his younger brothers is the Big Time Nobodies very own, “Vinny D”. This collaboration is long over due and has been a goal of theirs for many years. John has been playing drums since being introduced to his very first set of Ludwigs at the ripe age of five (5).Over the years, John has studied, toured and performed with many great musicians. He is extremely excited about playing with the band and looks forward to bringing a fresh new groove to every show.

“Drummers never die. They only shed their skin!”

Sebastian Dielci is globally known from his early-century compositions “Sonata di Apu in Lé Kwick-E-Mart” and “Histories Dil Sector 7G in G minor(seven)”

 Born in Buenos Aires, this young man related to music from age 14, when he started playing guitar. Finding it too “Hard to Handle” with six strings, the young Jedi… I mean composer, decreased his difficulties in a 6 over 4 manner… switching to the bass. In the late nineties, a promising band called Los Defos started its successful career featuring Sebastian on the bass. Strongly influenced by Metallica, Korn, Pink Floyd, Celia Cruz, Aztor Piazolla, Bob Marley, Dizzie Gillespie, Franz Schubert and Beckenbauer; Los Defos’ motto was: “We are the only band that can play in thirteen/eight and still sleep in a decent hotel”. When Sebastian’s last pair of shoes was stolen, he decided to leave the country and try his luck in the Middle East. At age 16, the “already a man” (Yes, twice!) musician shared his beautiful music with the Israelis. Thankfully, two years of multiple girlfriends and no STD’s went by, but sadly no success in the music business, until in April 2002 the speed-rock band “Black Pearl” records it’s first album: “Experiences with Shuli” (available for $12.99). This multi-cultural quartet rocked socks until it was time for some of them to enroll in the army. Luckily, Sebastian had an affair with a certain governor’s wife in the early eighties, and when she heard the musician’s misfortune, she paid for his a one-way “Ticket to Ride”. It’s been almost two years since this Casanova has been unleashed in U.S., but the most terrible things are yet to come now… when he soon turns 21. Fans BEWARE! ! !

Danny: The details of my life are quite inconsequential. Vinny: Oh no, please, please, let’s hear about your childhood. Danny: Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian woman named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it’s breathtaking, I suggest you try it. Vinny: You know, we have to stop.
