Career
During the summer of 2010, Christou finished his GCSE's at Highgate Wood Secondary School where he studied Art, Drama, Music, Dance and Geography as his chosen subjects. After the end in July, Christou would continue his passion for the arts and continue to write powerful songs that would be selected or rejected for his debut album, Living For Today. A former BTEC student at City and Islington College and current student at The Urdang Academy in Islington, London, he uses his Musical Theatre background in his pop music.

His debut album, Living For Today, consists of a mix of genres such as pop, dance, electronic, rock and house music, and has said to have had major influences from the likes of: Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Marina & The Diamonds, Hurts, Blondie, Ellie Goulding, Florence & The Machine, Pink, Adam Lambert, Usher, Rihanna, Charli XCX and John Lennon. The album consists influences of genres and sub-genres such as synthpop, dance-pop, electro-rock, glam rock, techno, disco, Europop, pop rock, dubstep, latin pop and country.

The debut single from the album, "Beautiful Sin" is a mixture of dance-pop and electro-rock influences, as well as incorporating the styles of synthpop and Europop also. The single was hugely inspired by Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert and hard rock band, Metallica.

The second single off of his debut album, 'Someone Save Me Tonight' was released on the 29th August 2012. The song incorporates the genres of pop rock and electronic.

The third single 'Born Again' was released on the 6th of May 2013 and was said to be his best work yet, highlighting mainly the electro-rock genre and also having influences of techno and dance-pop. The intro and outro of the song are his own reworked lyrics of the hymn Amazing Grace and show his more classical training in his voice and the mild influence of operatic pop.

He is also hoping to have a few collaborations in the near future with Irish female rapper K-Roll on a new track which has been confirmed as 'MONROE': a track based on the life and death of Marilyn Monroe. He is also working on an experiment with British independent rapper KeyFigga on a track called Tranquilize and also hopes to record a collaborative alternative metal and symphonic metal album in the future.

He released his debut EP 'Mermaid Blood' on the 13th of May for his 19th birthday. The EP consists of his first three singles, the dubstep remix of 'Beautiful Sin' and an intro entitled 'Mermaid Blood / Freedom Fighter'. He says that the EP is a first preview of the album.

In July 2013, Giorgio revealed the names of his first two tours. The first - 'mini tour' which promotes his EP 'Mermaid Blood' will be called the 'Mermaid Blood Tour: Cave Rave' and the second tour, his main headlining tour will be called the 'Born Again Freedom Rave'. He hopes to start touring during the promotion of his album.

The fourth single from the album, 'Hells Angel' was released on 1st September 2013 and is an electro-rock song with glam metal and disco blended. It has mild influences of Europop and synthpop. The single says the lyrics "Strangers make a name for me Diablo Le Whore", which translated talks about the main themes of sex and sinning and introduces the second of three 'alter-egos' that Giorgio highlights through the album, the first being Zayhn, the mysterious, devilish merman and the second being Diablo, the demon who commits adultery.

'I'll Follow You in the Dark' was released on the 31st December 2013 as the fifth single from the album. It is a rock song with heavy influences of glam rock and blues rock. The track has been compared to the likes of Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Elton John, Cher and Bonnie Tyler for it's raw 80s influenced sound. He has described the track as an "anthem to a hopeless romantic".
