Zionomi began singing at the tender age of 12. From the age of fourteen, he knew that voicing, performing and singing was all he would be happy doing. He would practice at his secondary school every moment he got. His inspiration came from the powerful messages sang by Mr. Bob Marley. He would beat his desk in the classrooms when the teachers were gone creating freestyles whilst his schoolmates would hear him and squeal in amusement until the teachers came in to stop the racket.

Zionomi then began to seek for his own sense of style. Determined, he picked up a guitar and kicked off his vocal cords. Not only is this music impression half Italian, 6′ 3” tall, and has admirable dread locks, he also has an affectionate and temperate heart.

Whist in Jamaica, Zionomi met with renowned producers such as Bobby Digital, the producers of Bushman and a few others.

After returning home, Zionomi advanced his career by releasing a few singles including the most popular, “Emergency” and “Just A Friend”, which are currently in circulation on quite a few airwaves. “Being Just a Friend” topped the charts worldwide and his fans and new listeners were impressed by his work as a musician.
