Born in the south of France, Arcostanzo began to study music at six years old. The triple threat DJ, pianist and producer, whose passion for music comes from his grandfather, a Jazz saxophonist, has become one of the most sought after artists on the scene today.

By age 24, he achieved meteoric success and soon became known within the industry for international artist development, production composition and sound design.

GOTTA started touring as a DJ across Europe and was invited to perform at high level events, including Cannes Film Festival, Cannes Lions, Grand Prix de Monaco, Paris Fashion Week, Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Formula 1, Miami WMC collaborating with such top luxury brands as Chanel, Cartier, Moët & Chandon, Karl Lagerfeld, Rolex, Prada, Montblanc, Hugo Boss, Pepsi and Apple.

GOTTA also worked extensively with Prince protégé Andy Allo, releasing three projects together, The pair is currently working together on a new release. http://www.soulbounce.com/soul/2016/01/andy-allo-covers-adeles-hello-for-the-new-year/
