there in his hometown of Mobile. He joined his first singing group, Uneeke, at 16. They opened

vocalist for Motown band The Tiptop’s, who performed alongside country greats The Oak Ridge
Boys and Harry Connick, Jr.
In 2002, Geno took his rightful place as a bonafide solo artist. He toured with the gospel play,
“Love Shoulda Brought You Home”, with Todd Bridges, also known as “Willis” of TV’s Different
Strokes, and Chrissy Collins of several Tyler Perry (Madea) stage plays, and one of Beyonce’s
background singers! Aside from writing, producing, and composing, Geno competed as a
finalist in Tom Joyner’s Big Break in 2005. Amongst recording 2 tracks with legendary blues
artist Mel Waiters, Geno has had numerous performances and appearances at festivals and
parties worldwide.
Geno’s hit, “She Got the Juice”, is currently in heavy rotation on several broadcasting and
media outlets. His soulful delivery and silky vocals have captivated hearts everywhere. On the
cusp of his 45th birthday, Geno is extremely humbled and thankful for all that God has blessed
him with and graciously allowed him to do. His faith continues to keep him grounded in this
ever-evolving experience.
Geno looks forward to continuing to share his remarkable gift with the rest of the world!
