V-SO HOTT BIO

It all started with the beating of two sticks against a drum set and the playing of sweet melodies through piano keys that lead William Dana Sanders, also known artistically as V-So Hott, to the falling in love with music and everything it had to offer.
Practically born in the church to a single-parent home in Kalamazoo, MI. His mother had engraved music into his soul early on with her lead and background singing for the local church choir, and had him listen to the likes of Michael Jackson, The Isley Brothers, and the legendary Luther Vandross as a child. Upon meeting a musically inclined friend, Derek Cobbs, at church, V-So soon mastered his craft with the drums and piano, he continuously stuck with his newly found talent until reaching high school and then picking up the electric guitar. Eventually, he also learned acoustic and bass guitar and once reaching his senior year the life changing decision to become a producer arose with much motivation and excitement.
Listening to various artists such as Usher, Mariah Carey, R-Kelly and Beyonce began the beginning of his production career, but R&B and rap weren't the only tastes in music that fed his diverse appetite. Alternative rock made a grand impression also, with artists and groups such as Zack Wyld, Switchfoot, God Smack and Linkin Park taking music to another level for V-So.
Just listening casually to these impressionable artists wasn't the only factors that molded the young triple threat, also working with Bo Watson, who is a singer/songwriter for Midnight Star, co-producer and music director for Baby Face, Tony Braxton, Earth, Wind & Fire and many more, trained V-So and provided the preparation and the finishing touches to his production development…and soon his songwriting skills.
On his 21st birthday he packed his Mac computer, studio speakers, and 3 of his 7 guitars into his car leaving behind his family and church, and after driving 13 hours he stepped foot into the red clay of the music mecca, Atlanta, GA. The move to Atlanta was primarily to position and place himself around the people and places that could take him and his talents to new and successful heights.
His first encounter while being in Atlanta for a visit prior to his move was with Kory “KG” Griffin who worked at renowned Patchwerk Recording Studios and has many relationships throughout the industry. He vowed to take V-So to the next level soon making their friendship and business relationship grow instantly as he became V-So's manager. Through KG, V-So has met, worked with, and became great friends with Leslie Braithwaite, producer and mix engineer, who has just recently mixed Young Jeezy's entire album, “The Recession” and super producer, Oak, who's done work for Chris Brown, Pussy Cat Dolls and many more.
V-So's production is quickly soaring to new heights with upcoming artists such as Dolla and Hollyweerd with the placement of their vocals over his artistically made beats, and he stays in the studio constantly working with Steve-O, songwriter for Mario, co-producing with both Leslie and Oak and planning to make his introduction into the game as not only a producer and songwriter, but also as an artist.
He plans to keep his options open for now as far as signing to a label but plans to have a deal in the works by late 2008, and ultimately making an everlasting impression on the world.
“I want to bring the actual talent, the playing of instruments and the true meaning of life back to music because now everyone feels that they can be a songwriter, sing, produce, and do music but the truth is the value of real music has been devalued and I plan to bring that back,” says V-So in his studio with his fingers soaring across his keyboard.
Virtuoso is a musician with masterly ability, common technique or personal style, and multi talented V-So (which is an abbreviation of virtuoso), who was named this by his pastor who prophesied it, has proven this definition in ways that has and will be seen throughout the world sooner than later.

AMERICA’S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET: CHILD ABUSE AND INCEST

Here in the U.S. we give a lot of lip service to looking out and caring for children but the reality is different. Actions speak louder than words. Cut backs and under funding of federally mandated child related programs, like Head Start and No Child Left Behind for example, and cut backs in student money for college . But worse are the number of children that are coming out of households where rape, incest and child abuse has been a living reality. Millions of children have become adults to lead families that are directly or indirectly affected by this scourge. Throughout my life I’ve met and talked with kids and adults who had these mental, physical, and emotional battle scars to overcome.

What makes my story intriguing is that I had no idea that my family had a direct connection to this abuse and an indirect one as well until about 8 years ago. While growing up there were things that seemed odd at times leaving me with open ended questions in mind. Mom is loving, has a youthful approach to life, is a talented seamstress, church going, and meticulous about a clean house. She was a worrier, always thought the worse of a situation, and would rather tell you what you thought than to ask you what you were thinking. If things were going well for too long, she would wonder what `bad’ thing was coming up next. Sometimes the obsession with worrying and fear caused arguments between she and Dad, and made me a nervous wreck throughout my childhood (stomach ailments & eczema). I was shy, outgoing, and followed my father’s personality in being a leader. It affected my brother in the sense that he had difficulty in speaking up for himself (extremely shy), although he overcame that in college.

My wife and I dated while we were teenagers. When I came on the scene her parents were divorced. She lived with her mom, who was an alcoholic with the problems that brings: inconsistencies, embarrassment, confusion, little structure, etc. My attempts were to be there with the shoulder and to give support as much as I could. But there was this secret that made it difficult to get a handle on what was happening. When my wife (girlfriend) got frustrated living with her Mom she moved in with her father. That’s when her mother let on surreptitiously that there was something more going on with the father. It turned out, the relationship she had with her father is what broke up her parents. Being a teenager the full impact of this didn’t hit me until much later. I was more concerned with being the loving, caring boyfriend. She kept going back and forth between her mother’s home and her father’s with no peace of mind. A couple of years later while we’re still together she tells me about what was happening with her dad. If I knew then what I know today, I would have been a gentleman and assisted her, but I never would have married. She never received counseling for the alcoholic mom nor for the deviant father.

My marriage was consumed with unexplained anger directed at me, times when I could ask questions and not get an answer – just stares, and an attitude toward sex that made her father a hero and her husband the sexual deviant. And even that was contradictory because we both enjoyed love making. Although my son did well in school, we did get called into the school counselor’s office for some behavioral problems he started to have. The counselor picked up on something right away, saying that there was something going unsaid. I wasn’t conscious of the fact incest upsets the basic foundation of security that a mother and father provide for the child. When the sexual predator breaks that basic trust, the child’s view of the world is changed forever. The view the child has of the gender of the perpetrator, is skewed with conflicting and invalid beliefs that affect future relationships.

She rejected counseling saying she didn’t need it. Three years later we parted company. 8 years ago I’m driving through mid-town Manhattan with my mother talking about politics and how I thought Al Sharpton couldn’t get political support from all races because of Tawana Brawley ( someone who claimed to have been raped but never brought charges against her perpetrators). Mom goes on to say that she believed Tawana. I insisted that if it were true, she should have moved forward with criminal charges against the perpetrators. In a little voice Mom said, `No body believed me!’ I said, `What did you say?’ She repeated it and began to relay a story to me of how her father had told her and all 6 of her brothers and sisters to go to bed. And then called her down to be with him. While he abused her, her oldest brother came down and knocked the father off of her. While the father pummeled her brother she ran away to another relatives house and never went back. She said some of her siblings didn’t believe she was raped. This also included her mother and her favorite aunt at that time.

Throughout my childhood I wondered why her mother and aunt treated her so bad, when she and my father would buy things her mother needed and would send money too. But this was never good enough. Two sisters and a brother would be very off and on in a strange way. With my mother telling me about this travesty, I now understood why the family would act in ways I didn’t understand. I now understood why my mother had her quirks that affected the whole family. She’s a loving person who needed counseling and didn’t get it. Her self esteem was low, so she didn’t stand up for her own personal growth within the family. Although she had some say, she did more of what my father wanted. He had his insecurities too and demonstrated them in how he limited my mother's behavior. Neither my brother nor I followed his behavior with our wives, but I couldn’t get over how subconsciously I chose a woman to marry that had the same problem as my Mom and I didn’t know my Mom had the problem. Truth is stranger than fiction.

The blogosphere is filled with equally strange cases of child abuse and incest. There is a sickness out there in America. And it’s in our homes, directly and indirectly. We say `SAVE THE CHILDREN’ and then send them off to schools that need metal detectors to protect them from guns. We say we love children and have them learning in inferior schools, with textbooks a generation old, little supplies and very few computers. Then we say we want to prepare them for the good paying jobs of the future while offering a curriculum that won’t keep their future job from going overseas.

Even with these additional problems in the treatment of children, the first place children need to be saved is in the home and at school. Parents must scrutinize each other's behavior with children. Be vigil of your child's relationships in school and at church. Don't be blind to abuse because of someone's status: teacher, coach, priest, neighbor. Listen to what your children are saying to you. Child abuse and incest must come to an end. We all can use some analysis. But children who have been sexually abused need counseling most definitely. And those who are indirectly effected, can use a little help too. The predators need a jail cell and counseling.
