A half Spanish and half Italian creative mind; a musician/producer/sound engineer and a fashion trend-setter, born in Catania, Sicily. His career started at just 14 years old working on various local radio stations, then moving onto DJing in clubs (Genesi Portorosa-Me) where he performed for many years as a musically innovative DJ.
It was at this time, influenced by the sound of his city, he started playing live; singing and playing guitar in various local bands, most importantly Beatle Juice and Somersault. This brought him to open the 'Magna Sound Studio', a rehearsal studio and cultural inspiration center which he ran for five years. In 1995 he began his sound engineer career, studying at Centro Professione Musica whilst working as a sound engineer, touring in support of international artists including Tom Harrel, Tonino Horta, Rickie Lee Jones, Gloria Gaynor, Temptation, Cool & the gang, Blonde Redhead, Warmers, and Uzeda.
In 2003 Gigi moved to London where he completed a BA in Commercial Music, specializing in production and the music business at Westminster University. In 2007 he started collaboration with Dented Records (Foreign Beggars). In 2008, he collaborated with Kudos Records and the next year with Paul "trouble" Arnold at FAT! Records and Chew the Fat! Immersed in these international collaborations, he created Dark London records; its brand pioneering the Breaktro music concept. The label combines his extensive DJing experience with a researched sound and composition, mixed with passion and professionalism.
Over the years he has written and performed music extensively, developing a live performance which pushes the boundary of technology into a musical blend of electro, tech and break, warped into an acid bassline. His live shows are famous for the great energy generated by an electric bass, vocals and vocoder.
Returning to Italy in 2009, he started two new marvelous adventures; one on the fashion side, designing a collection of handmade shoes: OG shoes, and on the other, going back to his first love: the radio; he produced ||Space Is The Place||. The radio mix show soon made a great impact and has received acclaim from the Electro worldwide movement, creating an web-based cross-roads for sharing music and ideas within the international DJ community .
In 2010 he moved to Barcelona, starting a fresh collaboration with the Common People, a crew focused on fomenting new music experiences and events. Gigi is also producing music for media and short movies. Gigi is a singer, a DJ, a photographer and a cook, an artist trying to define and express his individual style in all his work, undertaking each and every ordinary action with love and grace.
