Gigio Cordova is a breath of fresh funk. The 22-year-old emcee has a deep respect for the Hip Hop culture, and the genius and passion of the innovators who laid down the foundation for him. Hailing from Northern California, by way of Fairfield (home of The Federation), Gigio brings a wide variety of complex flows and fresh vocabulary for his clever rhyme schemes. Conceptually, not only does Gigio do his job as an emcee – connecting catchy melodies with deep subject matter, ranging from life stories, to social injustice, and spiritual identity, he is also able to embrace his skill as a song writer with ease. As an artist being creative and spontaneous is second nature for Gigio, when you think you have him boxed in a category (backpack, political, alternative, conscious), he’ll drop a track that will have you re-calculating his role as an emcee. His sophomore album Church Musick is set to release Fall 2008, following his debut album Something Wicked This Way Comes (2007), which earned him a feature on mp3.com “Up and Coming” Artists section.
“In an industry where many often forget that it all begins with the art itself, Paloma Belara is a true believer & comrade to the artist. Her knowledge of how to maneuver through this game combined with her vision & relentless dedication makes for a recipe of success that promises longevity & clout for us independent artists. She’s been there for me as I was just making babysteps into the hustle (via 2008 by way of CHURCH MUSICK) and she’s had my back ever since. Salute!” – Gigio
