His band, Standing on the Corner claimed that have a “serious reverence for and understanding of the past.” They have released albums like Red Burns, Tower, and a few singles. Also, they sold the band merch as well.

According to Pitchfork, Gio was the more talkative of the two, but only slightly so. They listened when the other spoke and never interrupted each other.

Furthermore, Gio credited YouTube for his musical discovery. In his words,

“When I was 15, the inception of my digging was definitely YouTube. Just going down wormholes. I would buy records too, but YouTube formed a lot of what I like.”

Also, Gio believed that music should deliver “its truth.” His view about music sampling was to “channel and trigger” subjects that advanced our vision, and in doing so they should keep its dignity as well.

As a radio jockey, Gio co-hosted the radio show Stay Inside with Earl Sweatshirt from 2017 for almost a year.
