They started as a manager and artist but evolved into a songwriting duo in 2016. The same year they founded their own record label imprint Diesis Records. In 2017, Gioli & Assia started releasing a handful of singles including “Stay Closer” and “Endless.” The next year they released their debut album Istantanee with the single “Starry Nights” getting a massive debut at the Indian music festival TimeOut72. Later in 2018 they released the single “Something Special” via Spinnin’ Records which got them into their first residency in Ibiza at Privilege. Their residency inspired them to release their second album in 2018 Night Experience via their own label. In 2019, Gioli & Assia released a stack of singles including a cover of “These Boots Are Made for Walking” originally done by Nancy Sinatra.
