Justin Michael Bruno, known professionally as ZZVICIO, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer. His music is passion driven, and fueled by introspective lyrics and melodies. He hopes to make his fans feel something, experience growth, and pursue their passions no matter the risk.

Bruno was born in Buffalo New York in July of 1998, and raised in a Sicilian Household. He was raised in Tampa, FL. He began his musical work as a drummer studying under Juliard trained instructor Glenn Meyer. At Ten years old he became a session drummer filling in for different cover bands, and become known locally as a result of his ability to play to a metronome in a live setting. At 12 he started his first original band Apnea with his brother John Bruno(Guitar), Zack Schuster (Guitar), Andre Hernandez (Bass), and Max Mckewan(Vocals). They continued to play all over the state of FL, opening for national acts like Citizen, New Found Glory, Turnover, I See Stars, Kublai Khan, Barrier, Adaliah, Bodysnatcher, The Ghost Inside, Escape the Fate, and many other national Acts. In 2015 they signed to a management label Lights Out Management and toured the US twice, until the band went its separate ways. Apnea went through a plethora of vocal changes, which lead him to join choir and take lessons with Roxy Miller, the legendary creator of Voicercise, in Clearwater Florida.

In Bruno's late teens, Bruno experimented with a plethora of different sounds, from Alternative Rock, to Jazz, to Hip Hop music. The idea behind creating ZZVICIO was sparked, because writing songs helped him cope with the death of close family members. The songs are written late at night in a bedroom, and fit the definition of DIY. The artist hopes to bring that same peace he found to people struggling with substance abuse.
