The Australian music invasion on the UK charts is
firmly underway; there’s been Iggy Azalea and 5 Seconds of Summer, now
multi-award winning artist Gio is set to release his music on our shores.
He’s gracing British soil with his brand new
track ‘Computer Games’ which is set for release later this year; your ears are
in for a treat. His unique mix of soul fuelled pop vocals streaked with
virtuosic Spanish influence guitar puts Gio in a genre all of his very own.
The Aussie musician boasts an impressive
collection of awards from Best Artist, Best male Vocalist and Broadcasters
Choice, all at the ABC Music Awards. Then there’s his APRA Songwriter of the
year and Best Instrumental Artist at the MusicOz Awards… quite an impressive
haul. They don’t go giving out awards to just anyone so it’s safe to say Gio
has talent!
Born Down Under Gio grew up listening to an
eclectic mix of music revolving around his parents’ love of gospel and soul,
all whilst growing up in the MTV generation of Michael Jackson and Prince. The
sounds of Michael Jackson and Prince have evidently had a distinct influence on
Gios’ own vocals, which coupled with his original musicality makes for an
impressive sound.
After securing a major recording and publishing
deal with FAME Music his infection track ‘Computer Games, produced by Tom
Misner, is bound for chart glory.
Gio… remember that name!
Yes indeed... He sure does have talent. I'm blessed to call him my friend and music mentor here in Oz... All I can say is wait till you see him perform live, you're gonna LOVE his music!
