Welcome to Dio´s Magical world Ronnie James Dio started his career as a trumpetplayer at the age of nine. Then he became the leadsinger in the bands Ronnie and The Redcaps, Ronnie and the Prophets and The Electric Elves. Then when he started singing with ELF, he was dis- covered by musicians of the legendary group Deep Purple and Ritchie Blackmore "hired" the band to help him with his soloproject Rainbow. Ritchie was impressed by the talent and strength Ronnie James Dio showed and together with Ronnie they made Rainbow a  legendary band. After a few years Ritchie wanted to play more soft, but Ronnie wanted to continue his "magic music", so they parted. Ronnie joined Black Sabbath and gave them some very successful years. When Ronnie left the band he formed his own group DIO.
