DROOOM is about two free-spirited musicians.
They write music without restriction or following any rules, giving their imaginations full rein.
John and Gia were born in The Hague, Netherlands. While they were growing up the kitchen was their home studio, and was well equipped with drums, a piano and a guitar. There was always music in the house. After High School they both knew they had to make music a career choice, though eventually they chose different music schools, Gia went to the Rock Academy and John to an Audio Engineering School, the SAE in Amsterdam.
Gia took the artist name 'Gia Mellish' and as an singer/songwriter has released many house records on labels such as Ministry of Sound, Hed Kendi, and with many producers including Sébastien Léger and Alan Braxe. She has perfomed in clubs all over the world.
John started producing pop tracks and always kept his guitar as the main element in his music.
Gia moved to London in 2009 to work with different producers and started a DJ career, singing and DJ-ing simultaneously, which added an extra dimension to her music repertoire. Still, she missed an authentic aspect in her music, and so finally after years of writing and working with producers, John and Gia decided to combine forces and get back to the songwriting they enjoyed so much when they were young. But now adding electronic beats and sounds to their music.
They choose the name DROOOM which comes from the Dutch word DROOOM, meaning dream.
DROOOM is about two free-spirited musicians. They write music without restriction or following any rules, giving their imaginations full rein. Their music can best be described as an eclectic mix of flamboyant pop with heavily filtered acoustic beats, coupled with guitars, and endless fantasy.
