Guiliana is set to release his first entirely solo album on July 12, 2024 entitled ‘MARK’ (Edition Records), where he is on full display as a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist – performing and layering percussion, piano, synthesizers and more. This new foray into his growing body of renowned work, recorded at Studio 606 in Los Angeles, is a culmination of Guiliana’s experiences and inspirations, and at the same time the catalyst of a new direction. ‘MARK’ follows his first two acclaimed Edition Records albums ‘the sound of listening‘ and ‘Mischief‘.
