She grew up in her native Rome, and from an early age had a strong passion for music. It was attending the club I Magazzini Generali at 17 that switched her on to dance music, specifically progressive house. However, this began to get tiresome after a while, and after coming across dnb for the first time at Bluecheese, she was hooked!In 1998 Giovanna took up DJing for the first time, and within a few months was playing in bars and clubs across Rome. These included Baja, Obhus, Voodoo Bar and Linux Club. She linked up with the Bluecheese crew around the same time, and in 2002 became more involved in the running of their nights.After a year working for Bluecheese and juggling a full-time job in insurance, she made the move to London in order to take up a degree in Events and Music Management.
