Gionathan

Versatile and eclectic songwriter, producer and videomaker, Gionathan is musically formed between Italy, Spain and the United States.
He collects a long series of collaborations and immediately treads important stages both with his own songs and as a vocalist, until being chosen as a backing vocalist for X-Factor in two different editions. A supporting artist for the Italian dates of international groups such as Hillsong and Planet Shakers, while still very young he was awarded by Mango for his live performances.
In 2014, he came out with Come Sabbia, an innovative and popular urban album made four hands with DJ MistaB featuring exponents of the Italian HipHop scene, such as Maxi B, ATPC and others. The album immediately placed at position No. 2 on the iTunes RnB chart, while the 4 extracted singles all reached the top of the indie charts on Italian radio stations, allowing the two to win several contests, to be included in numerous compilations and to play on the stages of important festivals.
In 2015 the project Gionathan & the Groovers was born, very prolific on the live stage, with which the singer will record the album DiVersione Acustica (2016), presented with a sold-out concert at the Teatro S.Anna in Turin. Two singles will be extracted that will exceed both 1500 radio rotations. In 2017 the band is a finalist at TourMusicFest, ranks third at SanRemo Rock Festival (out of 1300 projects) and is chosen by Red Ronnie as FIAT Music band to open the Turin concert of TheKolors.
In April 2018, Niente di strano, the new single, was released on VEVO and immediately entered the AirPlay charts. In the summer of the same year, a 15-date tour takes him to play live throughout Italy, from north to south, at the conclusion of which he signs for the Swiss label ProfiMusic.
In 2019, the singles and video clips Caduta Libera, Friendzone, A tempo su di noi and Stanotte are released, all of which receive excellent reception on streaming platforms.
In January 2020, Gionathan is one of 10 artists invited to RadioMusicFest, a Radio and TV event, while in February he gives a concert for the TV show VeNew274. Both events are broadcast throughout Europe. From May to August 2020 is the turn of the original project Corro e Basta, a single released in 5 completely different versions on a tri-weekly basis.
The artist’s next 3 releases, however, are in English: I feel the groove gritty nu-disco hit, Mary did you know, urban version of the native classic, and Good premonition, sinuous neo-soul ballad.
During 2021 Gionathan releases the summer anti-tormentone Dimmi di no, which is followed by a full-band tour of central and southern Italy. In the fall, he releases the single Luna Park in collaboration with Karen Marra (The Voice of Italy).
In February 2022, selected among the 24 finalists of the first Sanremo Christian Music Festival, he wins the Best Composition and Alberto Testa Awards with the song Tu mi hai amato per primo.
On April 8, 2022, Anima Libera, Gionathan’s debut solo album, was released, receiving excellent reviews from industry insiders.
This is followed in the same year by the summer hit Paprika and the single Free/Libero as a duet with Dutch artist BlackRockStar, a song that will take the duo on a long tour of clubs, festivals, and penal institutions in Italy and Switzerland.
In 2023, both the Anima Libera Tour and the Free/Libero Tour continue, with dozens of dates throughout the peninsula; at the same time the funk song Brand New Shoes and I see you move in a duet with producer FreakMe are released.
June sees the release of the summer hit Mojito (and its video), a song much played by radio stations, in a duet with the queen of Italo-disco Neja, who, for the first time ever in her career, sings in Italian. The song and its video receive an incredible reception at broadcasters, paving the way for the subsequent Va bene così and Al mio posto, songs and videos that, during the fall, repeat the radio success of the summer single that preceded them.
Gionathan is also the artistic director, as well as creator and in some cases host, of a number of important music festivals and radio and television formats dedicated to live music.
