Music Producer George Zeitoun (GIO-z) was born in Damascus, Syria. He grew up in a family where music was the main language. Consequently, he took this passion across many borders. He worked in Syria, Lebanon, and Qatar before finally moving to Montreal. Throughout this time, he gained 22 years of experience in live sound and audio engineering.
After he moved to Montreal, George graduated from Musitechnic. Subsequently, he built z-Tone Studio by hand. Specifically, he used recycled wood for every wall and acoustic panel. Moreover, he met all top professional standards without any outside help. As a result, he now produces, performs, and teaches. At the same time, he still hunts for the perfect groove.
Ultimately, his life is a story of hard work and sound. Therefore, he is ready to help you build your next project.

Post-Production Work
Sound tells half the story in any visual project. These are GIO-z’s first steps into audio-visual post-production, sound design, sync, Foley, and mix. Early work, done with full commitment.
A live electronic duo formed in 2023 with Alex (Zaidokhi). Fully improvised sets — custom synthesizer rigs, drum machines, FX units, nothing pre-recorded. Downtempo, Melodic and Minimal Techno woven with Middle Eastern and African percussive influences.
Every set is different Every set is real.
Gazz Music
The charm of music, to me, is the harmony of techno and Middle Eastern melody — an aggressive beat carrying a progressive soul, shifting moods the way real life does. That contrast became my identity.
GIO-z
The DJ Set as a Live Composition
GIO-z never DJs the way most people expect.
His sets are built live — three to four loops running simultaneously across decks, each shaped in real time through layers of effects. Every track becomes raw material. Every transition is a construction. Using the Pioneer DDJ-RZ with independent FX control on every channel, it dissolves, mutates, and rebuilds the groove on the fly.
The same philosophy that drives GAZZ. Different tools. Identical approach.
The result is not a playlist. It’s one long continuous composition that never existed before and will never exist again.
22+ years across live events, broadcast television, radio, and studio production.
