Gio and the Dream melds electric disco, neo-soul, and jazz into a genre-fluid sound. A Seattle-based multi-instrumentalist drawing on musical influences from the likes of Tom Misch and FKJ, Gio dances on stage from vocals to guitar, from keys to bass, looping together head-bopping rhythms and funky bass lines with cascading guitar runs and colorful synths. Off stage, trained as a sound engineer and ecologist, he draws inspiration from natural soundscapes and birdsong, and collects field recordings that bring an organic texture to his music.

Gio and the Dream began with the debut single “Window Watching” in 2020, featured by The Jazz Hop Café. A string of inspired releases have followed since, with the “Pedals and Nettles” receiving praise by The Sound You Need, and solidifying a unique brand of sound that has led fans to remark, “that sounds like Gio.” Gio has opened for Flume, AlunaGeorge, and Kaytranada at Frost Amphitheater in Stanford, California.
