He is a sought-after DJ at dance clubs throughout Europe and has hosted many top-tier artists at his studios.

Born in Rome and raised in Germany, Mangione's musical journey began with classical jazz studies on guitar before he discovered his true calling in electronic music. By the age of 16, he was already DJing at private functions, and at 23, he became a regular fixture at major clubs and events throughout Germany.
His breakthrough came in the mid-90s with the release of "Celebrate (The Love)" under the name Zhi-Vago. The Dream House track became an international sensation, selling over 1.4 million physical copies and reaching the Top 5 in numerous countries. Its music video achieved cult status on MTV and VIVA TV, cementing Mangione's reputation as a visionary producer.
His success in dance music led to the establishment of Mondo Studios, which quickly became a creative hub for both established and emerging artists. The studio has hosted an impressive roster of talent, including Coolio, Tokyo Hotel, Lou Bega, The Weather Girls etc.
Beyond the dance music scene, Mangione has demonstrated his versatility by composing and producing for major brands such as Puma, VW, and Porsche. His work on the "City Yoga Berlin" campaign with Oscar-winning director Florian Gallenberg particularly showcased his ability to bridge the worlds of commercial and artistic production. In 2009 and 2010, Mangione's innovative production work earned him Grammy nominations in the "Single of the Year", „Album Of The Year“, „Artist Of The Year“ and "Producer of the Year" categories, respectively.
