Damian Pinto, AKA the ‘Voice Of Dance Music’ is an entrepreneurial host with one of the most internationally recognized voices in all of the entertainment industry.

Pinto's story starts with humble beginnings. Filling in for an ESPN bikini contest announcer who called in sick, he entered the line of work that would be his calling. Soon he was stepping up to routinely working nightclubs and Don King boxing events during the late 80’s. As fate would have it, references and networking put his path in line with working electronic music shows, where he announced for acts like The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy, it was this time period where he met the owners of Ultra, Russell Faibisch and Alex Omes.
The chance encounter would forever change the course of Damian Pinto’s life and become one of the crowning jewels of his career and launch him into the realm of fame. Since MCing at the inaugural Ultra Music Festival in Miami in 1999, the explosive success and cultural impact of Ultra has taken him across the world many times over, has had his voice featured on Sirius XM, Ultra Radio, on every Ultra set publicly released, and has him forever embroidered as the ‘Voice Of Dance Music.’
Today, the man rubs shoulders with A-list celebrity types on the regular, having traveled, met, partied, and worked with name like Skrillex, Paul Oakenfold, David lee Roth (Van Halen), Will Smith, Paris Hilton, Shaq, Floyd Mayweather, Justin Beiber, Madonna, P Diddy, and dozens of others.
Pinto is now taking the brand of ‘Voice Of Dance Music,’ to the next level, offering more ways for fans to be a part in the movement and broadcasting out many forms of content for fans to connect with. His soon-to-launch website VODM.TV will be complete with news, video, merchandise, tour dates, and more - the refreshed expansion offering a deeper, more inclusive window into his world.
