YOVANNI is like a magical potion; mysterious, bubbly and a little strange (but in a good way).
His latest release ‘Hello’ can be perceived in many ways, but if you watch the video as well you’ll soon see if the picture in your mind was right. Which, to be honest, it probably won’t be.
With an intro like something you’d expect in ‘Tron: Legacy’ it has a very surreal, artistically-odd feel to it. The track itself is intriguing, and is backed up with stylish effects throughout the video.
I’m loving the bass throughout; ‘Hello’ is damn right catchy, and I’ve found myself mesmerised and distracted from writing!
It flows really easily, with its colourful beat and video to match – What’s not to fall in love with?
YOVANNI delivers consistently smooth vocals, that are captured in a exciting atmospheric bubble.
Be prepared, buckle up and get ready for a futuristic music experience. - http://www.new-reviews.co.uk

Bio
YOVANNI is a Miami-based dance music recording artist with a career that spans more than two decades in both Miami and New York City.
In the summer of 1997, YOVANNI followed his dream and moved to New York City to pursue his passion for music. After being fired from his job as a waiter, YOVANNI found himself penniless and on the brink of homelessness.
Instead of returning home defeated, he began singing in the subway for spare change. The song Lean On Me by Bill Withers lifted YOVANNI out of the subway and into backup vocal gigs for recording artists such as Nia Mone't, TNP and other New York bands.
Taking the song that sustained him underground to a big audition in Harlem at the famous Apollo theater YOVANNI belted out a heart-felt rendition of the classic song he?d come to lean on and the audience responded with thunderous applause. It was this momentous appearance at Showtime at the Apollo that ignited YOVANNI’s musical career.
In 2009 the pop-rock singer teamed up with the U.S. label Trigga Entertainment owned by Dj Nelson Trigga Martinez to produce a powerful mix of pop, house and dance electronic music.
“In the world of entertainment today anybody can claim to be a musician, record a song, make a music video and place it online,” says Nelson Trigga Martinez.
“What really separates the „anybodies? from the somebody special is the integrity and passion of the artist,” Martinez adds.
In 2011 YOVANNI and Trigga Entertainment teamed up with De Water Music & Media from the Netherlands. The second single from YOVANNI 'Hello’ was produced by international DJ/Producer Eddie Middle-Line, who is currently working with the Armada label group. ‘Hello’ has been charted on several DJ music charts and landed a spot for 3 weeks at #37 on the dance chart of the international magazine DJ Times.
The ‘Hello’ single was also picked up by Dutch record label Cloud 9 and German record label Toka Beatz. After two very successful appearances at the ADE – Amsterdam Dance Event in the Netherlands, 'Hello’ and its club remixes are now featured on several compilation releases across Europe and has gained YOVANNI a cult status among club goers worldwide.
YOVANNI is a powerful vocalist who can sing a song and kill it on stage and a passionate artist full of light and energy. Unparalleled talent paired with authentic passion and drive will ensure that YOVANNI will CLAIM SUCCESS for many years to come.
