BIOGRAPHY Kio Kio, born in 1979 as Carlo Chiocchio, in North Bay, Ontario, is a Canadian DJ of Italian descent.
Kio Kio first became interested in DJing while studying geography at Toronto’s York University. After graduation, he decided to follow his passion to Miami Beach, where this young, up-and-coming DJ has been able to achieve so much in a very short amount of time. Although Chiocchio — which rhymes with Pinocchio — had chosen to use his last name as his nom de DJ, he realized that the Italian spelling was confusing for English speakers. The decision to simplify led to Chiocchio’s rebirth as Kio Kio; he has been appearing in venues across the United States ever since. Kio Kio began his coming out party with a two-and-a-half-year residency at Pump, a popular after-hours spot in Miami Beach. Pump served as a tool in Kio Kio’s career, allowing him to hone his skills while working crowds of clubbers into a frenzy with his unique style of progressive house.
With Miami Beach’s role as a center stage for DJ talent, Kio Kio has had the privilege of hearing and learning from some of the greatest producers/DJs in the world. This exposure has resulted in Kio Kio’s own style of music, combining deep progressive house with a flavor of tribal and classic house. Kio Kio’s inspirations include Danny Tenaglia, Junior Vasquez and Little Louise Vega. Each of these DJs has contributed to Kio Kio’s style, whether through an evening of talented mixing or a form of production. In the three short years that Kio Kio has been spinning, his talents and creativity have taken him from his Miami Beach base to venues in such diverse cities as Los Angeles, San Diego, Dallas and Atlanta. New Year’s Eve, Halloween and Labor Day are some of the holidays when he has wowed huge crowds.
While currently residing in Los Angeles, Kio Kio has also achieved visits across the Pacific, and exotic destinations such as Hawaii and Singapore have been added to his repertoire. Over time, Kio Kio's style has evolved into a blend of erotic beats and unique sounds, featuring hints of Danny Tenaglia's progressive edge, Little Louie Vega's brilliant tribal productions, and SuperChumbo's twisted take on house. Whether it be a beach party, an evening bash or an afterhours event, Kio Kio's unique style is sure to keep you dancing. Official Site: www.djkiokio.com View GALLERY:
