Vito Lucente, better known as Junior Jack, is a house music producer and DJ, born in Italy, but resident in Belgium since his teen years.
In the early years Vito Lucente produced several acid house and eurodance projects, mostly in collaboration with Eric Imhauser. However, his more famous project was as producer of the synth pop/eurorap band Benny B, with vocalist Amid Gharbaoui, DJ Daddy K and dance Serge "Perfect" Nuet. Vicente left the band after the second album, and he did not produce their last single.
In 1995, he abandoned eurodance and adopted the name Mr. Jack (which would later morph into Junior Jack), dabbling in house music. He became well known for the singles "My Feeling", "Thrill Me (Such A Thrill)", "E Samba", "Stupidisco" and "Da Hype", the latter featuring vocals by Robert Smith from The Cure. His album Trust It was released to critical acclaim.
Lucente has also worked with disco artist Oliver Cheatham under the name Room 5, achieving the #1 in the UK's Top 40 charts and the European Dance Charts with the single "Make Luv", a remake of Cheatham's "(Get Down) Saturday Night", released in 2003.
As a remixer, he has reworked tracks for artists such as Whitney Houston, Moby, Bob Sinclar and Utada. He has worked extensively in this area with partner Kid Creme. His latest single "Dare Me (Stupidisco)" with vocals from Shena reach No.20 in the UK Singles Chart on 25th February 2007, "See You Dancin" will be his next single release and that is going to be followed by his second artist album which will be released later on in 2007.
