...Gifted and talented in a most ambidextrous fashion, Arpeggio, the businessman's genius lies within his grasp in the pocket of music and sound zones and throughout his equivalent grip on the algorithm of information technology. In meshing the two spheres, the recording studio meets the network known as the World Wide Web. This is the code, which is the universal language that connects us across the globe in mass, multi-media. Gio is not only a dual engineer in these fields, but a visionary and pioneer of innovations that are arguably hundreds of years beyond his time. "Down to a science," is apropos, in summary.Hip-Hop is a fairly young member of the music genre family. While rappers like KRS-One won over the United Nations to classify it is as a culture and is also now a part of curriculum, it has undergone many face-lifts during its lifetime.Early styles included rhyming lines fit for fun and games. Then this famous party host style became the ridicule of emcees with more serious themes. Hence the evolution of battle-rapping... As with any platform of a competitive nature, the bar was continuously raised higher. Rated PG-13 lyrics to the tune of a dance track were no longer part of the main foundation of rap. Then a gangster freedom of speech was born as a result of a movement against minorities.When the next generation of rappers hit the scene, glitz and glamour took over, but some artists never abandoned sexually explicit or graphic materials and suddenly a few of the most popular died young...Though some careers were short-lived, others would have had no chance of survival or success without the backbone of strong producers in place.Sampling became the trend in making hooks and fast tracks for non-musicians...Feeling like a fish out of water, 'Gio' left behind a legacy in music production playing live instrumentation over Hip-Hop tracks, that later went viral.

Tour after tour...One day Gio realized that his vision was a lot bigger than his surroundings could facilitate, so he upgraded to a corporation and hit the road with his multi-talented wife, Mary Michelle (Only1MaryMichelle).This multi-instrumentalist plays piano, organ, various keyboards, guitars: acoustic, hollow body and electric. He is fire on keys, lead, rhythm and bass guitars. With a lifetime of Music Theory and direction under his belt also, it is no wonder why Gio has been referred to as an MD's - MD (Music Director).He is a gifted "Music Man" and Music Producer with over 20 years of building fantastic compositions and sound designs "from concept to completion." Gio takes artists, film and television projects to the next level. He is inspirational and motivational in getting the best performances out of talent and delivering a polished, finished product.The rest is history in the making...Arpeggio and Mary Michelle really said "I do" on their wedding day, but the question is: What don't they do? Together this duo is definitely dynamic when it comes to writing, composing, producing and playing instruments from the studio to the stage. Gio truly married his music match.The two of them act along side each other in the short film Poker Noir, directed by, Bobby Baham. Hide
