About Giovanni 

I am a native Texan from the Fort Worth area; although, not sure I fit the cowboy mold. See, I come from a large Italian family on both sides, so unless I am in a Spaghetti Western, I tend to lean more into my Italian side than the Texan side. 

​

Growing up Italian, I learned to value family, food, quality time, and my family's traditions and practices. Words cannot describe the gratitude I have for the generations before me that sacrificed so much to give their future generations and family's a better life, and I have seen that firsthand with my own parents. I fell in love with singing and eventually, theatre. I owe a lot of my journey to my high school theatre director, Christopher Williamson; he believed in me and introduced me to my future school, Missouri State University. I graduated in May of 2024 with my BFA in Musical Theatre from Missouri State University with a minor in Music Composition. Music Composition has been a great medium for me to also become more skilled in another passion of mine, music directing. I have been blessed to have been able to music direct 2 full-length musicals, 1 cabaret, and assistant MD a workshop of a new musical in my time here at Missouri State, and I hope to continue to do so. I like to always keep my mind fed creatively, so I love finding new music, playing piano/singing in a worship band, writing music, working out, cooking, and being around those I cherish. Thank you so much for reading a little more about me.
