To me, the charm of music relies on the harmony of techno and middle eastern music, also the formation of an aggressive beat and the progressive melody that is becoming sort of my own music identity where the mood shifts during the track and delivers a realistic reflection of life, similar to any individual day-to-day ups and downs.
GIO-z
The Story
George Zeitoun, or GIO-z, musician, producer, DJ and sound engineer was born on July 30, 1985, in Damascus, Syria.
He started his journey at a young age, learning to play the trumpet when he was just 11 years old. Over time, he developed an interest in DJing and started playing with tape cassettes. At the age of 16, he began playing the trombone, and his love for music only grew from there.
After years of perfecting his craft, GIO-z performed his first live DJ show on March 13, 2003. He quickly made a name for himself and became a resident DJ in various nightclubs across Syria, Lebanon, and Qatar. However, GIO-z’s true passion was in music production, and he realized that it was time to take his skills to the next level.
In 2015, GIO-z began his journey as a music producer and released his first remix, “Tamenni alek ft. Moh’d Foad,” on October 12, 2017.
His unique style, which merges different music cultures to create cohesive tracks, quickly gained popularity among music enthusiasts.
In July 2019, GIO-z moved to Canada to pursue his passion for music even further. He enrolled in a recording and mixing engineering program and worked hard to develop his skills further. He graduated in 2021 and dived into the world of live music production with his analogue setup “DAW-less.”
GIO-z’s ultimate goal is to create the perfect mood and deep, hypnotic groove that will have listeners tapping their feet without even realizing it.
With his passion, dedication, and love for music, there’s no doubt that GIO-z will continue to make waves in the music industry for years to come.
