DOMENIC CAPUTO
Domenic came
to Canada at age 13 when his family moved to Toronto.
His love for
music became evident since his teen years when he helped create the very
successful Italian-Canadian band, "Continental Six."
While
pursuing his dreams for musical success, he started working for a jewelry
company. By age 19 he became manager over a department with 200 workers.
Within a few years, he was promoted to Assistant Director over the whole
company. The company employed around 600 workers.
In 1986 he
opened his own business, a jewelry store named "Vibo Jewellery."
Unfortunately, his musical group came to an end not long after.
Domenic has
also founded the musical production company named "Millennium
Production.” The aim of this company was to help new talent and to
create new songs.
Later he
founded the company "Melodia Records," a distribution company for Italian
music, which has become the number one distributor of Italian CD's and DVD's
in North America.
Domenic is
very active with the Capistrano community in Toronto. He helps organize
various activities and is one of the organizing committee's Treasurers.
After many
years, Domenic still loves music and finds jewelry work very gratifying,
but sharing his love for his Calabria remains a major passion as well.
