Giuliano Di Paolo (born in Milan on July 27, 1977), better known by stage name Julio D, is an Italian singer-songwriter, record producer, and music video director.[1] His music includes a wide variety of influences including R&B, jazz, hip hop, synthpop, reggae and afrobeat.

Career

His debut album Sabes Mi Nombre[2] is published in 2011 by Art Emotion[3] (previously released by INgrooves).[4]

In the first half of 2012, two new singles are published: "Amarte Más" and "Sun Comes Up". These songs don't obtain big consensus. "Yo Te Quiero" came right after.[5] Co-written with songwriter Silvio Cassaro, the track got a lot different. At its debut, the video gained more than 50,000 views on YouTube.

On March 2013, Better Man is released. Sung in English, Italian and Spanish, the album emphasizes a more focused sound to urban, hip hop and R&B, merged with Afro-Caribbean and zouk rhythms.[6]

Outsider,[7] his third album, is announced in 2014. Once again, synth pop, neo soul and afro-urban are mixed in its tracks. "Niente Di Più"[8][9] is chosen as first single, while "Courage & Faith"[10] is the second tune extracted. Its music video is entirely shot during an intensive Moroccan tour.[11]

In 2015, he produced a number of videos called iNomad.[12] The aim of the project is to show the recording process of a whole song, in a natural environment, through the use of mobile technologies (already experimented by singer-songwriter Son Pascal).[13]

At the beginning of the same year, the song "Beautiful"[14] is released.
