Gioia made her mark on the music scene as a member of the Arista Records pop group Exposé. One by one Exposé started releasing blockbuster albums (Exposure, What You Don't Know) and numerous chart-topping singles including Come Go With Me, Point Of No Return, Let Me Be The One, What You Don't Know, Tell Me Why and Billboards #1 hit single, Seasons Change.
Gioia's time with Exposé was cut short when she began experiencing trouble with her voice while on tour. She was later diagnosed with a benign throat tumor which ultimately led to the complete loss of her voice. She was not able to speak for almost 3 years and was deemed disabled as a vocalist. Contrary to all medical opinions, by nothing short of a miracle, Gioia began to regain her voice and was finally able to sing again!
In 1998, Gioia's first solo release Free To Be became an underground club anthem that received favorable notice from Billboard.
Gioia's follow-up track "From The Inside" was remixed by the legendary DJ/Producer Junior Vasquez and found itself on numerous compilations and charts around the world. The track was also featured on Showtime series Queer As Folk Season 3.
Most recently comes the release of Gioia's much anticipated debut solo album entitled, Expose This which has delighted both fans and critics the world over. She has teamed up with Chris Cox of Thunderpuss fame to release the single Wreckin' My Nerves which landed on many compilations. Last year she was the featured vocalist on Will To Power's remake of their first hit "Dreamin'" entitled Dreamin (Again). Recently Gioia teamed up with legendary Exposé Producer/Writer, Lewiss A. Martinee, for a track entitled Why Did You Call Me? which landed on the DJ Kimberly S. "Global Grooves" compilation CD. It was her first collaboration with Lewis A. Martinee in over 12 years!
Today Gioia is in the studio working on yet another amazing package of songs for future release. She's thankful for the gifts she has received, thankful for the fans, and thankful she gets to do what she was born to do...CREATE MUSIC THAT MOVES PEOPLE!
