Gioli & Assia

Gioli & Assia

Fiercely independent self-made duo Giolì & Assia are blazing their own trail and blending their own sound. Their indie techno pop finds beauty in the contrasts of light and dark, hope and despair, classical and contemporary. It is a live mix of powerful melodies, spine-tingling vocals and the sonorous tones of their signature handpan all married to driving electronic rhythms. By harnessing the power of the internet with their stunning live streams, Giolì & Assia have gone from their small Sicilian hometowns to headline shows across the world Multi-instrumentalists, singer-songwriters, DJs and label owners, Giolì & Assia are in complete control of their creative world. They wrote, performed, produced, sang and recorded their new album – as well as early breakout singles “Stay Closer,” “Endless,” and “Blame On Me” on labels like Spinnin Records – entirely alone. Making such a statement is important for these musical and life partners in an industry that is still all too dominated by men. The accomplished lyrical themes of their album reflect that and represent the highs and lows of their personal life, the challenges of the music industry and even the tragic love story of characters from Greek mythology.
