Giops started

listening to music, seriously, while still in high school. His favorite groups were such '90s US hip hop bands as Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, 2Pac. Later he began listening to Offspring and Nirvana. In 1996 a friend put a guitar in his hands, taught him some chords, and they formed a punk band. The group soon disbanded, but Giops never put down the guitar...
