Vito Bratta (born July 1, 1961) is an American guitarist and the former co-songwriter for the glam metal band White Lion.
[2] Bratta began playing guitar at the age of 13 and later became a member of a cover band from New Jersey called Dreamer.
When White Lion disbanded in September 1991, he soon started a short-lived project together with singer John Levesque that they called "Civil War" but was discontinued after a while.
The following points were revealed during the Eddie Trunk interview: Bratta's father went through a 5-year illness, which required a large amount of personal time and commitment on Vito's part, both emotionally and financially.
In addition, he clarified that he has never ruled out a White Lion/Mike Tramp reunion; up until now, they have simply been impossible due to family obligations and his wrist injury.
In 2023, Bratta agreed to an interview with journalist Andrew Daly for Guitar World Magazine, as well as another (also with Daly) for Guitar World Online regarding “Guitarists Who Shaped His Sound.” These are the only interviews Bratta has agreed to publicly, as he generally chooses to decline press requests.
Although Bratta has not released any music since 1992, many musicians, both singers and guitar players, have continued to praise his songwriting skills and technical ability.
