Dale Dizzle Virgo

Dale Dizzle Virgo (born May 23, 1985, born Dale Antou Tonye Ian Virgo, also known as Dizzle), is a record producer, musician, engineer and a young entrepreneur.

Dale first started producing at age 17 in his home studio in Portmore, Jamaica. He was predominately involved in the Jamaican gospel music fraternity and produced many hit tracks for that industry itself.[1][2][3][4] Later on in 2005, Dale Virgo was found and signed by Gussie Clarke leading his musical career to higher heights. In that same year, he did the track Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Rihanna on her début album A Girl Like Me. Dale is also known for producing the Reggae track 'Serious Times' by Gyptian.[5] In November 2008, the young producer went on to further his career even more when he began working with Jon Baker at the Geejam Studios as the in-house producer and technical director. Since then, Dale has worked on many albums including 'Thank Me Later' by Drake as assistant engineer for the song 'Over',[6][7] and 'Great Expectations' by the Jolly Boys as the producer.[8][9] Dale Virgo, since 2010, is now signed to Forward Recording, and is learning the business from top heads such as Tom Elmhirst, Mark Jones, and Jon Baker to name a few.

In addition to producing, Dale Dizzle Virgo is currently the percussionist for the legendary band Jolly Boys[10] touring Europe, United States, China, and soon Australia.
