Geno James Gitas (b. October 1, 2001), better known by his stage name lilspirit, is an upcoming musician from San Francisco, California. He began making music in 2018 with the release of his song “can’t sleep.”

Spirit started to gain traction in late 2019 through songs like “ugly” and “You,” which ended up landing him in a deal with Internet Money Records, a record label founded by Taz Taylor. After his signing, he began to release songs exclusively on his SoundCloud in collaboration with the members of Internet Money, such as “droptopbitch” and “come home,” later being released onto major distribution platforms.

His debut album, american spirit, was set to release February 21, 2020. However, four days before its release, he announced on his Twitter that the project was postponed, stating that he didn’t think dropping a project was “the right move” for him at that time. On May 4, 2020, he re-announced the album with brand new artwork and a release date of May 15.
