Gianni Coletti was born in the north east of Italy and started his musical adventure in the early nineties as a deejay in clubs in his homeland.

Very well-known for his "House e Gospel" taste, very energetic, and also loved for his vitality during his deejay sets, achieves quickly to spin the records in the best italian clubs such as Area Club (Venice), Kursaal (Lignano Sabbiadoro), La Zangola (Madonna di Campiglio), Ciarlis (Cortina d'ampezzo), Muretto (Jesolo) till the close Slovenija and Croatia (where he plays at Ambasada Gavioli, very famous club known for the "Rave Parties")and the far Egypt, spinning the records at the Pacha in Shark el Sheikh and even to the famous Xueno of Formentera.

Deejay, but also studio animal, Gianni has remix a lot of famous hits (Jasper Street Co - He's Allright, Sueno Latino- Sueno Latino, Stonebridge feat Ultranata¨ - Freak on, David Morales - Feels good) and collaborating with a lot of international artists (we can mention Afrika Bambaataa and Melissa Bell from Soul 2 Soul). But his real break arrived in 1995 when, with the handle of "Express Of Sound", reached the 1st place in the UK "Club Charts" and entered charts in 24 countries with the dance hit "Real Vibration"

Untill 2002, when Gianni decides, with "Gimme Fantasy", to give his name to a production that totally represents his black soul. A new experiment, and apparently working, which joins Italian typical Latin house sounds, with the Gospel choruses from overseas, building this happy atmosphere that Gianni usually takes in every club he plays at...

"Gimme Fantasy" quickly becomes the hit of the winter 2002/2003, reaching the top of the mix sales charts and the club charts in Italy for several weeks. Also top for more than a month on the charts of all the most important dance radios in Italy (Radio Deejay and Radio Italia Network), being also synchronized with many successful TV shows, including "Le Iene" and "Striscia la notizia" (the MOST seen Italian TV show) and appearing many times in TV himself ("Top Of The Pops", "TV Moda" "Mtv" etc.)

After "Gimme Fantasy" is time for “Love to be free", another fabulous Gospel production. This time Gianni uses the gorgeous voice of the Italian guru of soul music Al Castellana (he's collaborated also with Neffa, Alain Sorrenti, and many others). In 2004 Gianni produces "Think (about it)" Gianni Coletti vs. Lyn Collins together with the guest vocalist Lyn Collins. This is the modern version of the world famous song that allowed, in 1974 "female preacher" to reach the success thanks to her wonderful and seductive voice and to the song text written by her therefore husband James Brown (also producer).

Gianni last project is "Fire": the first song arose from the collaboration with Airplane Records disco label.

Gianni is also taking part to many important appointments in main Italian Radio networks: first of all, the famous mixed program "La Noche Escabrosa" on Radio Italia Network
