After independently releasing early works like 'America's Most Wanted' and 'Slow It Down,' Zito signed with Eclecto Groove Records in 2008. His 2009 album 'Pearl River' earned him a 'Song of the Year' award at the 2010 Blues Music Awards, and 'Greyhound' was nominated for 'Best Blues Rock Album' in 2011. That same year, he co-founded the acclaimed band Royal Southern Brotherhood. Zito's career has been marked by numerous chart-topping albums, including 'Make Blues Not War' and 'First Class Life,' which both hit number one on the US Billboard Blues Albums chart. His collaboration with Albert Castiglia on 'Life Is Hard' also reached the top of the charts in 2024.
