Giana Viscardi charmingly represents the new generation of great singers from Brazil. Her hometown is São Paulo, the giant melting pot of Brazil´s contemporary cultural scene.
Music is part of Giana´s life since she was a child.
Blessed with a beautiful and harmonious voice that has extensive range, Giana studied from a very young age at CLAM, the music school directed by the famous Zimbo Trio - one of the icons of the Bossa Nova movement – and subsequently continued to develop her musical gifts with Samba Jazz genius Filó Machado and at Leyve Miranda´s school “The Groove“, where she made an in-depth-study of the works of Elis Regina and Ella Fitzgerald.
During this period in São Paulo Giana sang extensively with different groups and shared stage with artists like Tom Zé and Ná Ozetti.
In 1999 Giana moved to the USA to attend the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston. There she quickly won recognition of the local music scene.
As part of the band of Uruguayan pianist Nando Michelin she had the chance to record two Albums and perform with legendary jazz musicians such as Jerry Bergonzi and George Garzone.
While at college Giana met guitarrist Michael Ruzitschka who since then has been her musical partner and director.
A result of this partnership was her first solo album “Tinge“, recorded in Boston between 2001 and 2002.
After moving back to São Paulo in 2003 Giana established her career in Brazil and internationally with the national award Prêmio Rumos and various tours through Europe including a concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival. In 2005 she was invited to perform in Japan and Thailand.
In the same year she recorded her second solo album “4321“ in Brazil and has already several of her songs recorded by other artists.
