Discovered by Dutch Studio entrepreneur and producer Rutger "Rutti" Kroese, Giorgio began his professional career at age 16, composing and producing for established Dutch artists. Subsequently Tuinfort embarked on an international career and moved in 2006 to the United States, to work together with then upcoming Senegalese-American recording artist Akon. They created a style together that became influential in the radio pop culture and years after. In the years following he collaborated with many musicians, including Michael Jackson, Sia, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston and Lionel Richie among many others. In 2009 he partnered with David Guetta to again establish a sound that became prolific for radio pop culture, this time combining EDM, pop and urban music. Giorgio continued to show his diversity when he composed all music and television themes for the UEFA 2016 European Football Championships. Apart from the title song with David Guetta and Zara Larsson, Giorgio also composed a classical piece which was recorded by the 130-piece Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra. Giorgio, together with Franck van der Heijden, is the composer of the UEFA Nations League theme song, which was lauded by critics as one of the best contemporary classical pieces of modern time. When asked, Giorgio still mentions Classical Music as the "Love of his Life" and expresses his ambitions to work on film music in the future.
