We had the privilege of interviewing the Music Artist. Here are excerpts from the interview:

Thank you so much for joining us today! Please tell us about yourself and your musical journey.

I am Giù, also known as Joseph Ingrassia – a French singer-songwriter, painter, and emergency doctor. My art was born out of a near-death experience during COVID. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to creating powerful, poetic, and universal songs. Over the past three years, I’ve released four albums and a rock opera musical. Two new albums are ready for release in 2025.

I’m a multidisciplinary artist with a unique journey. As an emergency doctor, I decided to turn pain into creation. Music saved me. I write, compose, sing, direct my own videos, and also write musicals and novels. My style blends rock, poetry, and emotion.

Please tell us about your latest album.

My latest project is “Back is Rock”, a modern and timeless rock album featuring punchy lyrics, unforgettable melodies, and real artistic vision. It speaks of freedom, urgency, love, and rebirth.

“Back is Rock” is a tribute to rock music. It features 12 energetic and emotional tracks. The standout song “Retourner chez toi” (a duet from my musical Alice in Wonderland) is already a potential hit, filled with drama and depth.

What strategies have helped you succeed?

Authenticity above all. I don’t follow trends – I create freely and genuinely. I work with great musicians and producers while maintaining my artistic independence. The message always comes first.

Any special message for our readers?

It’s never too late. Create. Speak up. Be true to your voice. Music is a universal language – and my songs speak to every soul.

Nous avons eu le privilège d’interviewer l’artiste musical. Voici des extraits de l’entretien :

Merci infiniment de nous rejoindre aujourd’hui ! Parlez-nous de vous et de votre parcours musical.

Je suis Giù, également connu sous le nom de Joseph Ingrassia – chanteur-auteur-compositeur français, peintre et médecin urgentiste. Mon art est né d’une expérience de mort imminente durant le COVID. Depuis, je me consacre à la création de chansons puissantes, poétiques et universelles. Au cours des trois dernières années, j’ai sorti quatre albums et une comédie musicale rock. Deux nouveaux albums sont prêts pour 2025.

Je suis un artiste pluridisciplinaire au parcours unique. En tant que médecin urgentiste, j’ai choisi de transformer la douleur en création. La musique m’a sauvé. J’écris, compose, chante, réalise mes propres clips, et j’écris également des comédies musicales et des romans. Mon style mêle rock, poésie et émotion.

Parlez-nous de votre dernier album.

Mon dernier projet s’intitule Back is Rock, un album de rock moderne et intemporel avec des paroles percutantes, des mélodies inoubliables et une vraie vision artistique. Il parle de liberté, d’urgence, d’amour et de renaissance.

Back is Rock est un hommage à la musique rock. Il comporte 12 titres à la fois énergiques et émouvants. La chanson phare Retourner chez toi (un duo extrait de ma comédie musicale Alice au pays des merveilles) est déjà un potentiel succès, empreint de drame et de profondeur.

Quelles stratégies vous ont aidé à réussir ?

L’authenticité avant tout. Je ne suis pas les tendances – je crée librement et sincèrement. Je travaille avec d’excellents musiciens et producteurs tout en gardant mon indépendance artistique. Le message passe toujours en premier.

Un message particulier pour nos lecteurs ?

Il n’est jamais trop tard. Créez. Exprimez-vous. Soyez fidèle à votre voix. La musique est un langage universel – et mes chansons parlent à chaque âme.

Merci infiniment, Giù, de nous avoir accordé votre précieux temps ! Nous vous souhaitons plein de succès pour la suite de votre parcours !
