Gino’s passion for percussion began at age five after a family wedding, starting with pots and pans at home. After receiving several children’s drum kits—including a Beatles-themed set—he eventually got a three-piece drum kit, despite early attempts to steer him toward the accordion.

He played in high school garage bands and later joined the Genesis tribute band DUKE in college. Gino has performed live with groups such as IMAGE, SILHOUETTE, and INFINITY at weddings, corporate events, and dinner/dance functions. Influenced by Classic Italian music, Progressive Rock, Modern Jazz, Motown, and more, he brings versatility and experience to every performance.
