Gino Marco Giannone was born at Victoria Hospital, May 04th 1991, in Blackpool, Lancashire to Father Vincenzo and Mother Lorraine. He is from a very large family, half Italian and Half British. He has three younger brothers, Ethan, Rocco and Matteo and one younger sister Alannah

Gino is a natural born performer and his favourite subject at school was Drama. He appeared in all the school productions and played the lead role of Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol". Although Gino loved the "Performance" aspect of school he didnt really enjoy sitting in the class rooms and most of the time was named the "class entertainer" ,neverthless he left school with good grades. Gino was born into a very musical family and as a child vividly remebers standing on tables in local pubs and just breaking into song!. His mother encouraged him to sing and at the age of 5 he performed his first song, Bon Jovi's "Always" which at the time was one of his mothers favourite songs. At every opportunity he would put himself forward for Karaoke, record himself and loved to sing along with his family.

As a child Gino was influenced by many artists, his mother often played Bon Jovi, Celine Dion, David Bowie, Mariah Carey and Wet Wet Wet, whilst on the other hand his family in Italy played the likes of Luciano Pavarotti, Gigi D'alessio, Ramazotti and Laura Pausini. As a consequence of this Gino now also sings in Italian and has Covered also Neapolitan, French and Spanish songs. Other Artists Gino has become a fan of are Michael Buble,Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross and Andrea Bocelli. His biggest ambition would be to perform in a packed out venue such as Madison Square Garden in New York and make his family proud.

Other than Music, Gino is a big film fan and his favourite actor is Jim Carrey. Some of his favourite Jim Carrey films are "Bruce Almighty", "Liar Liar" and "A series of unfortunate events". His favourite food is Italian! and he states to this day that his "Nonna" (Nan) in Italy remains to this day his favourite cook in the world! "She makes a mean bolognese.."

Gino also loves to Travel and has visited many places, from a young age his parents would send him to Italy sometimes alone as an unacommpanied minor, and he soon got used to Travelling.

" I absolutely love travelling, ask anyone im always going somewhere! If I became a successful artist I would love to do a World Tour, it would be perfect for me, I would be doing the two things I love the most, Singing and seeing the world at the same time!"

In 2009 Harmore Music Producer/Songwriter, Neil Hartley approached Gino after being very impressed seeing him perform songs by Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra and approached him about recording a demo.

After travelling to London and spending time at The Harmore Music Studios recording new material, Gino was asked to record a recently written track called "I'm Looking back". Production on this song was recorded in May 2010 with Gino's vocals being recorded in June 2010.
