Based in Montreal, Soccio's contributions to the genre have earned him a dedicated following and critical acclaim.
His most notable achievement on the US Billboard Hot 100 came in nineteen seventy-nine with the hit single "Dancer," which peaked at number forty-eight. However, his influence extended beyond this single, as he achieved remarkable success on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, reaching number one twice.

In addition to his chart-topping hits, Soccio's track "It's Alright" from the album "Face to Face" reached number two on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart for five weeks, solidifying his status as a prominent figure in the disco era. His single "Turn It Around," released in nineteen eighty-four, further showcased his talent and versatility as an artist.
