Discover Giu: From Emergency Doctor to Rock Sensation
Giu, known personally as Joseph Ingrassia, isn’t your average rock star. He’s a French singer-songwriter, painter, novelist, and emergency physician whose extraordinary journey began after a life-changing experience during the COVID pandemic. Surviving a brush with death inspired him to embrace life fully, driving him to create art that deeply touches the soul.
In the past three years alone, Giu has skyrocketed to artistic prominence with four album releases and a groundbreaking rock-opera musical. Fans eagerly anticipate his next two albums, due in 2025. From performing emergency procedures in hospitals to mesmerizing thousands with his profound music, Giu has found a unique path to creative expression.
“Back is Rock”: A Revival of Authentic Rock Spirit
On June 19, Giu dropped his newest masterpiece, “Back is Rock,” marking a triumphant return to the vibrant core of rock music. The album comprises 12 compelling tracks, totaling just over 48 minutes, each pulsating with raw energy, lyrical depth, and a refreshing honesty rarely found today. Through its dynamic storytelling, the album explores themes like personal freedom, renewal, love, and living with passion and urgency.
The album kicks off powerfully with songs such as “EN ACIER TREMPE,” where fiery guitar riffs ignite a vivid emotional landscape. “REVEILLE-TOI” follows with gripping intensity, urging listeners to awaken their inner passions. Tracks like “IL EST DES NOTRES” and “NEANDERTAL” continue to captivate, blending powerful lyrics with melodies that linger long after the music ends. Giu then gracefully balances raw power with reflective introspection in songs like “COUCHER DE SOLEIL” and “ZONE DE CONTROLE,” before delivering a strong closing message in the hauntingly beautiful “ECHO.”
The Emotional Core: “Retourner chez toi”
At the heart of the album lies the standout track “Retourner chez toi,” originally featured in Giu’s ambitious musical based on Alice in Wonderland. This duet beautifully encapsulates Giu’s capacity for deep emotional resonance, effortlessly combining dramatic storytelling with heartfelt intensity. Its powerful lyrics and memorable melody make it not only an instant hit but also a testament to Giu’s impressive versatility as an artist.

We had the privilege of interviewing the Music Artist. Here are excerpts from the interview:
Thank you so much for joining us today! Please tell us about yourself and your musical journey.
I am Giù, also known as Joseph Ingrassia – a French singer-songwriter, painter, and emergency doctor. My art was born out of a near-death experience during COVID.

Two new albums are ready for release in 2025.
I’m a multidisciplinary artist with a unique journey. As an emergency doctor, I decided to turn pain into creation. Music saved me. I write, compose, sing, direct my own videos, and also write musicals and novels. My style blends rock, poetry, and emotion.
Please tell us about your latest album.
My latest project is “Back is Rock”, a modern and timeless rock album featuring punchy lyrics, unforgettable melodies, and real artistic vision. It speaks of freedom, urgency, love, and rebirth.
“Back is Rock” is a tribute to rock music. It features 12 energetic and emotional tracks. The standout song “Retourner chez toi” (a duet from my musical Alice in Wonderland) is already a potential hit, filled with drama and depth.

Nous avons eu le privilège d’interviewer l’artiste musical. Voici des extraits de l’entretien :
Merci infiniment de nous rejoindre aujourd’hui ! Parlez-nous de vous et de votre parcours musical.
Je suis Giù, également connu sous le nom de Joseph Ingrassia – chanteur-auteur-compositeur français, peintre et médecin urgentiste. Mon art est né d’une expérience de mort imminente durant le COVID. Depuis, je me consacre à la création de chansons puissantes, poétiques et universelles. Au cours des trois dernières années, j’ai sorti quatre albums et une comédie musicale rock. Deux nouveaux albums sont prêts pour 2025.
Je suis un artiste pluridisciplinaire au parcours unique. En tant que médecin urgentiste, j’ai choisi de transformer la douleur en création. La musique m’a sauvé. J’écris, compose, chante, réalise mes propres clips, et j’écris également des comédies musicales et des romans. Mon style mêle rock, poésie et émotion.
Parlez-nous de votre dernier album.
Mon dernier projet s’intitule Back is Rock, un album de rock moderne et intemporel avec des paroles percutantes, des mélodies inoubliables et une vraie vision artistique. Il parle de liberté, d’urgence, d’amour et de renaissance.
Back is Rock est un hommage à la musique rock. Il comporte 12 titres à la fois énergiques et émouvants. La chanson phare Retourner chez toi (un duo extrait de ma comédie musicale Alice au pays des merveilles) est déjà un potentiel succès, empreint de drame et de profondeur.
Quelles stratégies vous ont aidé à réussir ?
L’authenticité avant tout. Je ne suis pas les tendances – je crée librement et sincèrement. Je travaille avec d’excellents musiciens et producteurs tout en gardant mon indépendance artistique. Le message passe toujours en premier.
Un message particulier pour nos lecteurs ?
Il n’est jamais trop tard. Créez. Exprimez-vous. Soyez fidèle à votre voix. La musique est un langage universel – et mes chansons parlent à chaque âme.
Merci infiniment, Giù, de nous avoir accordé votre précieux temps ! Nous vous souhaitons plein de succès pour la suite de votre parcours !
