Vinnie “Da Ginnie” Medugno is a charity worker, radio disc jockey, and an entertainer! He puts out all stops and makes each performance his best. Within these recent years, Vinnie sings and emcees for the local party scene as a disc jockey or "DJ". He enjoys interacting with crowds and singing and being the life of the party. As a Freshman at the College of Staten Island in the Fall of 2005, Vinnie took a major interest in being a Disc Jockey on the radio. He joined the WSIA family at the college and hooked up with an "old timer" named Carl Sabitino, who was the featured name on the Morning Show for four years. Vinnie joined Carl and took over the show as Carl left in the summer of 2005. The show was a success titled “Medugno In The Morning” and aired every Friday Morning from 7am-10am. Medugno's on-air charisma and personality was so natural and enthusiastic that the figureheads at the station asked him to host his own afternoon dance show titled "Decades of Dance with Vinnie Da Ginnie," a name given to him for his very Italian culture and spelt to rhyme with Vinnie. He plays all of the best dance classics from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and even the dance music of today every Friday evening from 4pm-7pm. He also hosts all sorts of specials that take place on the radio. Every holiday season he hosts the 30 hour “WSIA Yule Log“, playing all holiday favorites as well as sharing great memories of family times and holiday traditions. Vinnie went onward and upward to the big stage. As far as performances go, he has been seen singing our Nations Anthem as well as God Bless America for numerous Staten Island Yankee games. Credits awarded him first runner up in the St. George Theatre’s Staten Island Idol contest where he competed against over 100 contestants.
