In the electronic music industry, while DJs are notorious for adopting a lifestyle of partying and monumental world tours, how many DJs would you say are known for their extensive depth and style beyond their stage careers? For Miami-based DJ Pietro Pizzorni, to confine him to the music he makes would be a mistake. As a true jack-of-all-trades, Pietro’s endeavors venture far past the music industry.

Despite his 12 years of experience as a DJ and music producer, these days, the Miami native is also widely known for his aesthetic. Much like that of a true gentleman, everything about Pietro’s image and brand radiates style and class. After adopting this classic James Bond-like style, the DJ turned gentleman established a relationship with Miami retailer Stitched in Brickell City Centre.

“Stitched is the one that started it all,” Pietro says. “People were constantly asking me where I got my suits.”

Now as an ambassador for the brand with the help of his good friend and Stitched’s managing director Tony Merenda, much of Pietro’s wardrobe for photo shoots and modeling gigs consist of gorgeous custom Stitched suits. Thanks to his partnership with the brand, he has been able to fully explore the gentleman’s style, experimenting with double breasted suits, tropical colors, velvet jackets, three, four and five piece suits, waistcoats, sport coats, even denim, and of course tuxedos for DJing shows.

Whether he’s DJing, modeling, or working as the owner of “Pietro’s Bar” on Univision’s primetime dating reality TV show called Enamorándonos, or working as a newly appointed tattoo artist, Pietro’s style remains consistent with the gentleman aesthetic.

But even with the additional ventures, Pietro’s passion for music remains a constant in his life. As he’s spent over a decade developing his music and sound, reinventing the genre all with the aesthetic of a gentleman, he evolves his sound with patterns of electronic music, house and underground. In Miami, Pietro is well known as a resident DJ at three major nightclubs, Wall, Floyd and Treehouse.

At the moment, Pietro is celebrating the release of his single “Axiom” that debuted this month with Go Deeva records. Up next, he looks forward to releasing five more new tracks over the course of 2020. The next single, due out May 29^th on Sirup Records is called Elevate and features Adler XCVI. Pietro also anticipates a busy summer as he’s performing first at Tomorrowland, the world’s largest and reputable music festival based in Belgium. Later in the year, as part of the Ultra Music Festival, he will tour with the group’s Resistance tour in October throughout their South American tour. With the Resistance tour, he will take on major cities throughout South America with his tour manager Juan Carlos Dominguez, owner of “Feel the Club,” Pietro’s South American DJ agency. Visiting cities in Europe, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and more, Pietro will perform in uniform— a flawless three-piece suit as part of his gentleman aesthetic.

“Everywhere I perform or work, whether I’m on a show, DJing or tattooing, I wear suits and tuxedos,” Pietro says. “Sometimes they’re more modern styled with my sleeves rolled up and tattoos revealed, but a suit regardless.”

Music’s power is an extraordinarily vital and unique instrument that improves the human experience. When combined with a social gathering of individuals from all walks of life who have come to appreciate this art, it creates a force unlike any other. Music allows people to imagine their lives and evoke powerful memories. Music is integral to cultural gatherings, festivals, and belief systems. Sound and rhythm patterns provide a unique insight into an individual’s thoughts on current culture, subcultures, and societal concerns. Community festivals allow people of a community to engage in socialization, entertainment, and the formation of social networks, all of which can contribute to the promotion of community cohesiveness and the development of social capital within a community.

In addition to bringing people of all colors, races, and ethnicities together, these festivals also play a pivotal role in promoting upcoming artists in the music industry. Festivals have long been one of the most prolific venues for promoting new music and exposing listeners to contemporary artists. The absence of festivals and venues has significantly hampered fresh content and talent exposure. Music is vital during festivals because it creates an instant link among those who attend. Festival music speaks to our human yearning to connect, and music is a means of self-expression that transcends all language borders. Picking up performances at smaller or local music festivals is a terrific method for new performers to get into the live music scene.
