He has been nominated for and won many awards, including an LA Stage Alliance Ovation Award, four Hawaii State Theatre Council Po'okela Awards, four Stage Scene LA Scenies, and an LA Weekly Theater Award.

Galliano enrolled at Eastern Oregon University in 2003, after living abroad in Germany and South Korea for five years. He graduated from EOU in 2006 and moved to Portland, Oregon, where his career began with contracted chorus positions in Portland Opera's The Flying Dutchman in 2007, and in Portland Opera's Aida in 2008. He moved to Ewa Beach, Hawaii in 2008 and immediately made his musical theatre debut in Diamond Head Theatre's wildly popular production of Les Miserables. He performed for the next three years in musicals and operas across the state of Hawaii, including at Diamond Head Theatre, Manoa Valley Theatre, Hawaii Opera Theatre, the Neil Blaisdell Center, and more.

He made his short film debut in 2010 with Hotel Street, and earned his way into the Screen Actors Guild the same year through motion-capture debut roles in Universal's Battleship, playing several "enigmatic aliens, who appear to be the result of breeding experiments between the iconic 'grays' and the hapless occupants of a retirement home." In 2011, he moved to Los Angeles and began training at the Stuart Rogers Studios in North Hollywood / NoHo Arts District, and made his stage debut in Theatre Tribes' The Sleeper in 2012. He made his national commercial debut as a featured singer for Kia and The Voice in 2013, worked on countless student films and web series, and created a music label (High Sunday Music), co-founding the band High Sunday in 2014, and working on recorded music for the band as well as with solo music under the name Jaq Lion. In 2015, he recorded music with Lisa Gerard and Marcello di Francisci for the motion picture Jane Got A Gun starring Natalie Portman and Ewan McGregor.

Galliano enrolled in the MBA for Music Business program between Southern New Hampshire University and Berklee College of Music in 2016, the same year he made his Los Angeles musical theatre debut reprising the roles of Mitch Mahoney, Dan Dad and Olive's Dad for Sierra Madre Playhouse's production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. He co-founded a band duo, Jaq-n-Gina, with then-girlfriend Gina D'Acciaro, in 2016. Following D'Acciaro's referral, Galliano joined Dedrick Bonner's choir, The Singers of Soul, and has gone on to perform with the choir at the Microsoft Theatre, as well as having been directed by director Michael Gracey in a national Old Navy Black Friday commercial in 2018.

Galliano's personal life is the subject of constant attention. He was married to Kate Neal from 2010 to 2015 and has been married to actress Gina D'Acciaro since April 2018. Galliano supports several organizations that help people fight cancer.
