Vincent Gallo, a man of many talents, was born in Buffalo, New York. He is a middle child, who was born in April 1962. Both his parents had emigrated from Sicily. He has said that "only real Italians are from Buffalo."

He has been in many bands, The Plastics, Pork, Bohack, Gray - in which Jean Michel Basquiat was one of his band members, and good friend. A bohemian dresser, he is also good friends with producer Rick Rubin, John Frusciante, and Johnny Ramone, among others. His father however, kicked him out at the young age of 16, he began living in New York City, and from there traveling around most of Europe, only to find himself back in the wild scene of New York, co-founding under the name, Prince Vince. He first began painting, then racing motorcycles, and finally became an actor. His most notable work is Buffalo '66, a sort of biographical movie he wrote himself, and the score, and of course, directed it. He's been in a band with Lukas Haas, called Bunny. Even though they are no longer together, he put out his own CD under Warp simply titled "When".

He's modeled also, most notable was for Calvin Klein. He was going to be in a movie about Charles Manson, playing the man himself, but clashed with the people behind it, something he is notorious for doing. A man who hates many, Vincent Gallo has an underground cult. Of late he has been working on his second directorial feature, The Brown Bunny. He recently released "Recordings of Music for a Film", which is some of his older music work remastered. A lover of the finer things in life, he adores women, but can't seem to find the one he's looking for, and he will ever be known as the man of many talents.
