Kio grew up in Bogota, the capital of Colombia spending much of his youth hanging around with the local bands and DJs. Like many people, he found lockdown both useful and frustrating, but it did at least allow him to release a lot of music and imaginative DJ sets, his music is all about digging deeper.
The day Kio decided to take his passion seriously was when he was signed by a major record label in Colombia, to play Dj for Karol G. "I didn't know that I was about to make history with her, a few years later she won a Grammy.”
He added: “we don't have the best situation in the world, people need to have fun for a day, music has the power to make emotions, better times will come soon for now let's enjoy and celebrate life.”
