– 2 min read
Emerging from the vibrant heart of London’s music scene, GIO X is not just a singer and songwriter, he’s a force of nature.
With a voice that cuts through the noise and a vision that refuses to be boxed in, GIO X is redefining what it means to be an artist in the modern age. Unapologetically queer and fiercely original, his presence commands attention.
Every lyric he pens is a declaration and every performance a rebellion against conformity. In a world that often demands silence from those who dare to be different, GIO X sings louder with a fire that refuses to be extinguished and is a rising star whose journey is only just beginning!
Originally from Greece, he’s called London home for the past 13 years, crafting songs since the age of 12 and collaborating under various aliases along the way.
Now, GIO X steps into the spotlight with his most personal work yet-songs shaped by love, heartbreak and life in the city.
His debut single Kiss, written by himself and produced by Lostchild, is a synth-soaked breakup anthem (Tove Lo inspired) blending raw emotion with retro-futurist flair. The track captures the dizzying push-pull of loving a narcissist eeeep, close enough to crave but never close enough to touch.
The music video was shot in just three days in a desert-all sweat and sand but worth it! And channels the song’s vulnerability.
“The desert feels lonely and exposed, just like the emotion in the song,” GIO shares. “The black horse is a symbol of freedom and wanting something you can’t quite reach.”
Kiss sets the tone for his upcoming EP Liquid Mercury, a shimmering dive into the highs and lows of love and self-discovery.
With a stripped-back acoustic version too, GIO X proves he’s not just a performer, he’s a storyteller with range.
Follow GIO X to stay in the loop, his London shows are coming soon and you won’t want to miss the moment he brings these tracks to life on stage and Kiss is on all streaming platforms now.
