Gialiani (Gee-ally-anny) real name Carlton Jevaun Washington 
was born January 20, 1985. He went to school in Guyana  
and attended Bishop’s High School and the School Of Nations  
where he graduated with 6 subjects at CXC. His interest in 
rap/hip-hop music developed as he was growing up since 
he was surrounded by it in his environment  and found it a 
fascinating way to express himself. Gialiani started writing 
since  he was about 16 years old and this included mostly of 
personal experiences. His  song material base is extensive 
and one which will only keep growing. Even  though 
Guyana  is more of a soca/reggae dancehall society, there 
is a huge following of international  hip-hop artistes and Jevaun 
recognized this from simple school “rap battles”  that he 
participated in. He decided to start recording professionally 
when his  friends urged him on. He first did a piece at Kross Kolors 
Recording Studio with  some friends but the relationship was 
short-lived and the song never made it  anywhere. He then realized 
that he needed to do things as a soloist. Gialiani’s  future plans 
involve music and he is looking to pursue that full time when it  
becomes feasible. To simply put it in his words, “… I love my city 
and I think  it should be on the map. I want to put Guyana on the 
map with hip hop  music…” He maintains that hip hop music is 
not just for an American society, as  people the world over 
relate to it. He believes that hip-hop music is his  calling and is 
passionately pursuing it. He has recorded 7 songs as of 
January  12 2007 but only 2 have been released. He has 1
