Born in Rome (Italy), Federico Gidaro aka Virtus manifests his interest towards music since early age. During his childhood he studies accordion and later attends for a short time the “School of Music for Films" of the master Elio Polizzi. He graduated in 2013 in Musicology at the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the University of Tor Vergata in Rome. He begins composing his first songs exploring many genres from rock to dance music while maintaining a taste towards black music. The approach to the reggae & dancehall takes place in the summer of 2004 and definitively in the winter of 2006 becoming a member of Pakkia Crew (until 2009) with whom he performs in some of the historical locations of the roman reggae scene.

In parallel in 2011 he began working with Dj Corrado, among the most important DJs and producers of the "Afro" genre in Italy. The remix of I Tell You That becames immediatly an hit of that musical scene. In 2012 he is inserted by the well-known site Reggae.fr among artists "discoveries and revelations of the year". Since 2012 he joins the Redgoldgreen Movement, a collective made up of musicians, djs and producers, which acts as a promoter of culture, events and musical productions. Soon after borns the Redgoldgreen Label, founded with his colleague WSW Wufer producing and promoting albums for italian artist like Inna Cantina, 'Ntoni Montano, Mattune, Janahdan and Seal'd In Vain or collaborating with international artist like Max Romeo, U-Brown, General Levy and Daddy Freddy.

The confirmed of an international appeal is signed by the collaboration with Flash Hit Records singing on several riddim featuring artists as Kabaka Pyramid, Ward21, Liutenant Stichie, Perfect Giddimani and more. In 2013 begins the cooperation between Redgoldgreen and Piotta (popular italian rapper) leading him to produce in 2015 the music for Rise up, song in combination with the living hiphop legend Afrika Bambaata included in the recent Piotta's album.
