Gio Bianco (born Giovanna Bianco; 1983) is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and author, with a degree in journalism.
Biography Gio Bianco was born into a musical family and began singing at the age of nine. Her mother, Eliane Bianco, is a pianist, and her brother is a composer.
Her professional career began in 2015, and by 2018 she started promoting her original work. She gained national recognition as a judge on the musical reality show Canta Comigo, a collaboration between Netflix and Record TV, hosted by Rodrigo Faro.
With growing visibility, Gio Bianco has steadily increased her social media following, reaching over 100,000 followers. In 2020, she began releasing original music under Midas Music, the label founded by Rick Bonadio. She was nominated in the "Breakout Artist" category at the BreakTudo Awards, which honors achievements in music, internet, and television.
In 2023, her reinterpretations of Brazilian hits gained significant airplay on MPB-focused radio stations. Her cover of Ivete Sangalo’s "Não Precisa Mudar" topped the MPB charts from August 2023, according to Crowley Broadcast Analysis Brazil. Other notable covers include "Só Tinha de Ser com Você" by Tom Jobim and "Sozinho" by Peninha.
Previously, Gio Bianco had already made waves with a duet alongside André Mota on "Ainda Lembro" by Marisa Monte, which held the top spot on MPB radio for five consecutive months.
Later in 2023, she released the album Covers, featuring renditions of songs by Rita Lee, Cyndi Lauper, and others. In 2024, she plans to release a fully original album, moving away from covers and reinterpretations. For this project, she is collaborating with producer Silvera, known for his work with Ed Motta and Racionais MC's.
