In the world of "Fun Is a Crime", all forms of lightheartedness, play, joy & fun have been outlawed & criminalized, punishable as the highest offenses against society. Señor Gigio plays the role of the last real civilian keepin' it all the way prankster in a nation of hall monitors & party poopers.

Señor G delivers hard-hitting, humorous & honest lyrics crafted with the skillsmanship of a supreme emcee over trippy, funky, spaced-out, basement beats produced by the artistic mind of Johnny Venetti.

"I was inspired to make an album that brought stories to the forefront of our consciousness again. I felt like Hip Hop was getting to a place where the same story was being repeated, lacking originality & personality. So I wanted to prove that there was still so much to be said creatively with this artform & medium of Rap. Elements of Myth & what Joseph Campbell called 'The Hero's Journey' are layered throughout the album, as well as my own personal story. It is my hopes that folks who listen will be inspired to think of their own individual stories & how it's all being woven right now into the fabric of history." - Señor Gigio credits released April 22, 2022

GiGiO, in collaboration with long-time producer Jaymar (a.k.a. All_Key), has created a 22-track masterpiece. Mixing jazz & soul influenced beats with intelligent, passionate lyrics, GiGiO orchestrates the perfect storm of fun & drama for hip hop listeners to experience. Eye Am Not My Name took course of 2 years to complete sparked by GiGiO's epiphany to quit working at FedEx & pursue his path as an independent artist – full-time. Unearthing a burned CD of forgotten Jaymar instrumentals, GiGiO committed to writing songs & giving life to these beats which were too sick to be slept on. Armed with new vigor for music, GiGiO recorded Eye Am Not My Name at Knock Knock Recording Studios in San Francisco alongside engineer Ari "Hashbrown" Sandoval. Enlisting over 20 artists consisting of emcees, singers & musicians, Eye Am Not My Name is a body of work built with mind, heart & soul.
