Quotes
- “My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio.”
- “Once you free your mind about a concept of harmony and of music being "correct," you can do whatever you want. So, nobody told me what to do, and there was no preconception of what to do.”

Article
Giovanni Giorgio Moroder ( Italian: [dʒoˈvanni ˈdʒordʒo moˈrɔːder], Austrian German: [mɔˈroːdɐ]; born 26 April 1940) is an Italian composer and record producer. Dubbed the "Father of Disco", Moroder is credited with pioneering Euro disco and electronic dance music. His work with synthesizers had a significant influence on several music genres such as hi-NRG, Italo disco, synth-pop, new wave, house, and techno music.
While in Munich in the 1970s, Moroder started Oasis Records, later a subdivision of Casablanca Records. He is the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, a recording studio used by many artists including the Rolling Stones, Donna Summer, Electric Light Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Deborah Harry, Queen, and Elton John. He produced singles for Donna Summer during the mid-to-late 1970s disco era, including "Love to Love You Baby", "I Feel Love", "Last Dance", "MacArthur Park", "Hot Stuff", "Bad Girls", "Dim All the Lights", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", and "On the Radio". During this period, he also released many albums, including the synthesizer-driven From Here to Eternity (1977) and E=MC (1979).
