David Appolon (born March 8, 1992), best known by his stage name Gio Dee, is an American hip-hop artist/songwriter from Boston, Massachusetts. He is the leader of the Chef Boyz, a music group based out of the greater Boston Area. Appolon’s success thus far can be attributed to his “Mind Yo Business” EP which was released in December 2015 featuring Metro Boomin, Madeintyo, Iamsu, and TM88. Not only is “Gio Dee” and play on words with GOD, similar to “Eminem” is with Marshal Mathers, it also means means God is Gracious in Italian (Gio). David in the bible means beloved musician. So he put the two together and it means “God’s Gracious Beloved musician.”

“A lot of these artists don’t have god in them. If God is with me who can be against me?” – Gio Dee
