FACT FILE GIO PIKA
1. Real name Georgy Vladimirovich Dzhioev.
2. Stage name Gio Pika.
3. Profession: Rapper, musician. What do we already know about ... his early career? He also worked in the medical
field (nurse, paramedic, anesthetist) for over 10 years.
4. Background: As for his background, ... he was born on May 8, 1978, in Tbilisi (Georgian SSR), and is ethnically
Ossetian. He grew up in a family of musicians and attended music school (vocal). His music, especially the criminal and
"northern" themes, is largely inspired by the 90s and the relocations associated with conflicts. You might/might not
know that he has no criminal record, but his work is closely connected to the prison genre and code of honor.
5. Career: The reason I've chosen him is ... his recognizable style—urban rap with elements of jungle and dark jazz,
often on criminal themes, which he calls "northern" rap. He has been actively involved in music since 2006. His debut
album, Komikraim: Part 1, Cherny Tsvetok (Komikraim: Part 1, Black Flower), was released in 2016. Why do you think
he's been so successful? Likely due to his sincerity and unique style.
6. Other albums: There's so much more I could tell you ... about his albums, but here are a few key works: Sbornik
Sever. Part 1-4 (Northern Collection. Parts 1-4) (2016) Sinie Kamni (Blue Stones) (2017) Velikan (Giant) (2018)
Provintsia Elzas (Province Alsace) (2019) Matsone (2020) 1000 Let Vesny (1000 Years of Spring) (with Kravts, 2022) 17
Mgnoveniy Oseni (17 Moments of Autumn) (with Kravts, 2023)
7. Achievements
The most amazing thing about him is ... his ability to combine his medical experience and strict upbringing with creating
music that resonates with "guys from the block" and representatives of the prison culture, while maintaining personal
non-involvement in crime. I'm sure you'll agree that his work holds a unique place in Russian rap.
