Gio (Giovanni Gartner, born 1990) is a German rapper who mainly gained fame through YouTube, especially in 2014 where he secured the second rank (his debrief) in "Julien's Blog Battle", a rap battle organized by "Julien's Blog" who has over a million subscribers, and his 2015 diss track against "Liont TV". Liont (Timoteo) had lots of views back then but not anymore.
Giovanni joined YouTube as early as 2006, predating the YouTube duopoly of "Bibi's Beauty Palace" (inactive since 2022) and "Julien Bam" by half a decade.
As with many personalities who rise to fame, Giovanni has purged some of his early stuff. However, compared to other major personalities like "ApoRed" and "Julienco", he has purged surprisingly little of his past.
Non-lost media
In his teenage years (late 2000s decade), it appears Giovanni had a girlfriend named Jessica. During that time, he made a love song for her that he took down at some point, but a reupload from 2013 exists. The breakup song from January 2010 is still online.
Lost media
From 2011 to 2013, he made a series named "Frag' den Rapper" ("ask the rapper", playlist), where he uses rap to answer questions by his audience. They include joke questions such as "why did you run over Santa Claus?" (in a video game).
Out of the eight videos in the playlist, the two earliest ones are privated. A 2016 channel archive shows they were still on air back then.
