Alternative, Pop Male Singer (first tenor range, sweet falsetto and powerful full voice) with over 18 years experience, chart-topping song, award-winning music, national representative, easy to work with, creative at heart and excited to collaborate on your projects.
As a London-based, South African alternative singer-songwriter, I craft a uniquely multifaceted musical experience, deeply influenced by the expressive freedom of the alternative genre. As a proudly gay artist, I bring a distinct perspective to my work, blending introspective lyrics with explorative melodic and harmonic compositions. With over 20 years of musical experience, I have honed my craft to create an authentically original sound.
My extensive musical journey includes singing for the prestigious London Philharmonic Choir as well as playing for the South African National Youth Orchestre, where my classical music background and profound fascination with the arts further enrich my performances. My talents have earned me nominations for various awards, and I have proudly represented South Africa on the international stage. My music is a captivating testament to my artistic dedication and unique voice in the world of alternative music - earning me charting spots, editorial playlistings, festival performances and the like.
My creativity spans beyond music and into video production and direction, visual art, and physical theatre - all of which I have had the privilege of academically studying and professionally sharing. These all blend together in both my songwriting and singing experience.

Interview with Giulio Beltramo
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't be afraid of the creative process and come into a session looking to explore. Music is so special because it is often a collaborative affair. You can write the best lyrics, but sometimes its someone else's brain that can construct the melody to deliver those - you have to be open to that.

A: It's always very project- dependent but I am versatile and adaptable.
