My name is Giovanni Bassano and I am a professional singer/guitarist/songwriter.
I was born in in Italy and lived there until July 2006. Then I've finally started my travelling experience, I wanted to travel the world, living a big adventure and see as many places as possible. So I became a busker spending years around Europe, starting in Ireland, performing in the streets of Dublin (Grafton St.), passing through Amsterdam (Dam Square, Leidseplein), Copenhagen (Stroget), Helsinki, Prague (old town square), Glasgow, Edinburgh, Berlin, Dortmund and many other cities.
In 2008/09 I also went to US, playing in the streets of Santa Monica, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In these years I've also had the pleasure of participating in some great festivals, including T in the Park (Scotland), the fringe festival (Edinburgh, Scotland), Glastonbury (England), Villa Iluminada (Atlixco, Mexico) and lately Bardentreffen (Nürnberg) and Stramu (Würzburg).
In 2012 I recorded my first collection of acoustic cover songs that I usually perform during my
shows. Since then many thousands of copies have been sold all over the world, or at least in the 35
countries that I vistited.
After wandering around for many years I finally setteld in
Switzerland due to the many booking requests I got. Currently I live in Zurich and perform most of
my shows in and around Switzerland.
Between 2016 and 2017 I worked on my debut album called The things I never told you which are all my own compositions. The album was inspired by an incredible trip to Thailand, a truly romantic and intense escape on the other side of the world.
Currently I have a lot of requests for shows and I'm busy travelling around. I'm looking forward to all the upcoming shows. And I'm planning to start working on a new album by the end of the season.
I'm available to play and sing at corporate parties/events, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, X-mas or charity events.
Every event is different and each customers has his or her own ideas and whishes . ThereforeI can't present you a fix offer. If you have something in mind that you don't see, do not hesitate to contact me. I'm sure we can work something out.
Ein äusserst motiviertes, professionelles und herzliches Team rund um Giovanni Bassano. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Giovanni Bassano ist eine wahre Freude und macht grossen Spass.
I recently had the pleasure of booking Giovanni for a client's birthday celebration in Zürich. He was incredibly professional, arriving with a complete setup and delivering a fantastic performance. His singing and guitar playing were exceptional, creating a beautiful and memorable atmosphere. The clients were absolutely thrilled and were moved to tears by the surprise. Giovanni's contribution made the event truly special. I highly recommend his services!
We saw Giovanni at yesterday's Zug Fair, Giovanni's performance blew me away. He sings wonderfully, is a real king with the guitar and let the audience participate in the music with such well-known hits and fantastic song transitions."
Wir durften Giovanni als Vollblut-Musiker kennenlernen - ein absoluter Profi mit einer tollen Stimme, der perfekt auf sein Publikum eingeht und mit ihm interagiert. Für jedes Fest ein Garant für eine grossartige Stimmung!
Dearest Giovanni, You were the star of our event! I still am totally mind blown. Your musical talent, your voice, your spirit, your energy and your easy-going attitude – what a great package.We enjoyed every single second. I could have listened, danced and sang for at least 2 more hours with you.
Like always, you have been excellent
We had the pleasure of hiring Giovanni as a guitarist for our company event at a charming cabin in the woods. With warm evening temperatures and a cozy campfire, he created the perfect atmosphere with his diverse repertoire. From calm melodies to captivating tunes, Giovanni mastered all styles effortlessly and even accommodated the guests' music requests. The guests were thrilled with his performance.
Giovanni made our wedding on August 30th an unforgettable experience with his wonderful live music! From the first contact to the last song played, he was absolutely professional and friendly. He even spontaneously played an extra set upon our request. His music created the perfect atmosphere – romantic yet full of energy. We were especially impressed by his versatility and endurance: whether it was soft ballads or upbeat rhythms for the dance floor, Giovanni hit the right note for every moment. Our guests were thrilled, and many spoke to us about the amazing musician even days later. Thank you, Giovanni, for your passion and talent! You made our day perfect!
If you made it to here, you already know a few things about me. But what kind of music do I make? Of course it's not easy to describe it and if you heard me playing on the streets, you might be surprised that my second album is not an "acoustic" one as my first record was. Below you find a few samples of what I do.
If you like what you hear, consider buying one, or even better, both albums. I know that in todays world only few people buy records anymore and that everything must be free and can be copied and be shared with anybody. Truth is that I have to make a living and selling records is important. Only be selling I have the chance to produce another album. So if you like what you hear, get old fashioned and buy your own copy. Thanks.
