His older brother is Paolo Conte, who enjoys great fame in Italy, France and around the world. Giorgio Conte shared with him the passion for French song and for jazz, playing together in a swing band in the first years of their careers.

After years of composing successful songs for other artists, he started to offer his own music on Italian, European and American stages. He has published 14 albums. Between 1995 and 2005, his presence, both in concert and with his records, was very constant and appreciated in France and Canada.
