Altin Gjoni - Guitarist, Producer, Composer
Living in 'The Zone'
With guitar work and production for hundreds of international artists, as well as his own, Altin lives between being a guitarist for Rusty Halo and Erina & The Elementals and composing his own music.
From a self-taught bedroom guitarist in Tirana to being signed with 1043 Recordings in the UK, playing in Eurovision national finals & the Legendary Apollo Hammersmith, the passion is always the same.
“My songs, songs and work for artist is the product of composing and recording while in the zone, the place where you don’t think; you only play, and hopefully, it transmits the same state to the listener.” – Altin Gjoni
"Fantastic Work! Really sympathetic to the track and beautiful guitar playing. Can't recommend Altin highly enough!
Great communicator and timely delivery as always"
Great work from Altin, he always delivers exactly what I need, fast and without any problems
"Altin always goes beyond what is expected to give the very best he can. He's a very masterful player and he's offered so many great ideas that take my project to a whole new level. THANK YOU AGAIN - you're amazing!"
"Altin is a great guitarist and an excellent arranger. Highly recommend!"
