BIO
Classical and jazz pianist, singer-songwriter, and guitarist fluent in genres ranging from rock to flamenco, Gio's shows can hone in on a specific niche or take the listener on a cohesive sonic journey.
Gio is multi-instrumental and plays piano, guitar, accordion, oboe, harmonica, bass guitar, ukulele, mandolin, drums, and various folk instruments, like wooden flutes or the panduri. Born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia (the country, not the state), Gio attended the 7-year youth school at the Tbilisi State Conservatory, where he studied classical piano and oboe. He moved to the US at the age of 13, where he picked up the guitar, a few other instruments, and began singing - later continuing his musical education with jazz studies at MSU Denver.
in 2020, just before Covid-19 hit, Gio was able to crowdfund $6,121 to record his debut album "Songs of Life and Death". While the pandemic came with many hurdles, much work is being done - both at Boston's Plaid Dog Recording (who helped run the crowdfunding campaign) and locally in Denver to bring the album to life.
