He began studying piano at age 4 and studied at the music school "Libera Espressione Musicale". He has also studied at the "Cat Sound Studio" under Patrizia Arduini and Mario Marcassa, and at the conservatory of music "Conservatorio di Musica Francesco Venezze" in Rovigo. He earned a degree in International Economics from University of Padua.[1]

Giurioli also plays keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar and drums.[2][3] He has appeared on television on programmes such as 7 Gold, and performed in London on public street pianos. Giurioli makes his home in London.

Giurioli's first album "Ali" was released in July 2011 through Cat Sound Records.

After moving to London in 2015 he began collaborating with the orchestrator Geoff Lawson, who has worked on films such Star Wars: Solo, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther and recent albums from Voces 8, Katherine Jenkins, and Gareth Malone, deepening his understanding of orchestration in the Neo-classical genre.

His track ‘Tutto E’ Bellissimo’ debuted on Classic FM in December 2017 and reached number 1 on the iTunes Classical Charts in the U.K. as well as in Spain. This led to him being inducted into the Classic FM Hall of Fame as the youngest composer ever [5][6][7] and being named one of the 30 brilliant classical musicians under 30 by British cellist and conductor Julian Lloyd Webber in 2021.[8]

In November 2018, Nightfall release, his new single premiered on Classic Fm Radio brought him the 3rd rank in the Uk iTunes Chart and 3rd in Spain. The track has been featured on BBC.
