Description

Geo Aghinea (b. 2001, Romania) is a London-based experimental producer, composer, and vocalist who designs immersive sonic experiences where raw electronic textures meet ethereal, siren vocals.

Their sound is shaped by a deep connection to their upbringing - rooted in microtonal and heritage-based sounds - while pulsing with the energy of brutalist underground queer scenes in post-communist Eastern Europe. Growing up with the chants & doinas of their grandmother, Geo developed a hauntingly distinct vocal style that is present in their productions.

Geo also brings a unique perspective to sound itself. As a musician with severe hearing loss, their reliance on hearing aids isn’t a limitation but a tool - reshaping their understanding of frequency, space, and texture.

Geo’s genre-defying work is an extension of their identity - fluid, boundary-pushing, and transformative. This is evident in their debut left-field EP, I’ll Hand You A Hand (2023), which earned them a shortlist at the Sound of the Year Awards in partnership with Accidental Records and an Oram Award for innovation in sound, music & related technologies.

With their forthcoming EP Gynodioecious (2025), Geo is set to push sonic experimentation even further. As a 2024/25 selected Roundhouse Resident Artist, they recently took the stage in the venue’s iconic main space during a guest performance with Tom Odell - marking the next step in their rising presence within the UK’s music scene.
