[edit] Background

Like most musicians in the Eurobeat genre, he has performed under a number of pseudonyms for various labels (including A-Beat-C and Delta), though he is perhaps best known for the songs he has produced under the Max Coveri alias. However, as is common among Eurobeat performers, he is not the first person to use that alias; Mauro Farina had used the alias before him. De Jorio's songs (via the Max Coveri alias) "Running in the '90s", "Like a Thunder", and "Golden Age" were all featured in the anime Initial D. Initial D has also featured "Speedy Speed Boy", which De Jorio performed as Marko Polo, "Crazy For Your Love" which he has performed as Morris, and "Night Of Fire", which he has performed as Niko.

[edit] Trivia

Many of his songs are used for fad music on the website, YTMND.
His promotional model, Edoardo Arlenghi, is used in place of his own image for the marketing of songs under his pseudonym "Niko". He can be seen most prominently in the music video for the song "Night of Fire".
