Born in Novara, in the northern part of Italy, Giorgio Poi spent his teenage years in Rome. At age 20 he moved to London, where he graduated in jazz guitar at the Guildhall School Of Music And Drama. In 2012, he released his first musical work with his band Vadoinmessica. However, despite living between London and Berlin, his heart was drawn back to writing songs in his mother tongue which was both familiar and mysterious. His solo debut album Fa Niente (2017) was thus released in Italian and earned him astounding critical acclaim.
