Geno's biography

Born Eugene T. Mays III, on November 3, 1981, in Bradenton, FL, Geno is already a young veteran in Hip Hop.
Gifted with a rare talent for music, Geno started producing and rapping when he was eleven years old. Geno’s music has a lyrical style that could be compared to ‘Nas’, with a production style closer to Dr. Dre, spiced with a Southern flavor.
Geno writes, produces, and records all his songs. He has sold Hip Hop, R&B, and Reggae instrumentals for most of the artists in Manatee County and Sarasota County, FL.

Geno was a member of a group, Free Dem, with local rapper/cousin, Skunk Boogie, but due to their artistic differences, he decided to continue as a solo artist. Geno is not the only talent in his family, one cousin is a producer in Sarasota, another cousin is an up-coming rapper in Gainesville, and another cousin is the manager of Miami-based group, Pretty Ricky.

In 2003, Geno signed a contract, with Pragmatic Entertainment, to produce eight tracks for local artist, Slim, debut album "A Brick or a Grammy" (Pragmatic Entertainment 2004). He received national exposure for his production in magazines such as Vibe, DownLow, etc. He is currently working on his first official solo album "As Is..." (Original Records/Da coast Entertainment). A few of his new songs are currently playing in local clubs, and appear on different web sites. Geno has many supporters and fans across the United States, and even has a fan base in England, France, and Japan.

Geno is also a great live entertainer, and has been performing since the age of 15. He was an opening act for Bone Crusher (Atlanta), and for Chopper (No Limits). He has also performed many times in Bradenton, Sarasota, St-Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa, Gainesville, and Miami [FL], and in Fayetteville [NC] and in Nassau [Bahamas]. He went on tour for a few weeks across Florida with local artist, Super D. Geno is scheduled to be the opening act for Remy Ma (Terror Squad), and he will be performing at the Connexion International Music Festival in Jacksonville in November 2005.
