The world at present is driven by technology. From the lifestyles of people to the way business owners run their companies, everything is under the strong influence of technology’s greatest product, digitalization. It has pushed the world into a transition where business, education, and even shopping is shifting into the virtual world. The extensive digitalization has also turned social media platforms from being a mode of communication into one of the most effective marketing tools, marking the rise of social media influencers.

From Cash Baker, Desi Perkins, and Jette to Mijlof, Valencia De’La Clay, and Eugene Lee Yang, social media influencers are taking over the digital world with their top-quality, engaging content. Out of these social media stars, there is another Brazilian-born gem, Gianni Mendes Toniutti, who is turning heads with his vivid personality and dynamic portfolio.

Gianni Mendes Toniutti, popularly known as Gianni Mendes, is grabbing attention from all across the industry as besides being a star in the world of social media, he is also a successful immigration lawyer, entrepreneur, singer, and a guitar player. While he creates super-engaging content for his social media fanbase, he also oversees the operations of Italian-American law firm Tosolini, Lamura, Rasile & Toniutti LLP (TLRT), that he co-founded with his friends in 2009. The story of how this man established such a diverse portfolio is worth bringing into the discussion.

Early Life Facts

Gianni was born in Sao Paulo, one of the most vibrant financial centers in Brazil, and was raised in the Italian city of Bologna. His father was an avid guitar player and was friends with some famous artists of his time. It gave the young Gianni a chance to spend time with many famous artists, including Andres Segovia, Sabicas, and Felix de Utrera.

The young boy started learning to play guitar by his father, specifically Flamenco style. Later, he groomed his skills and worked on his crafts by being under the supervision of Manolo Sanlucar and Enrique de Melchor, two of the greatest “maestros” of this style.

While learning to play guitar, Gianni focused on his education, and in 2002, he graduated from the University of Bologna with a Juris Doctor degree. After graduating, he moved to Miami, Florida, to acquire a master of laws from the University of Miami. He completed his LL.M. in 2004 and started preparing for his bar exam. In 2005, Gianni cleared his bar exam, becoming an attorney in the State of New York.

Establishing a Diverse Professional Portfolio

In the same year as his graduation from the University of Bologna, Gianni’s first music album was released. The name of the album was Colores, which was a collaborative project with Enrique de Melchor and Guadiana. The release of Colores led him to an opportunity of touring with Enrique de Melchor across different venues in Europe. Gianni did not give up on his love for music and continued pursuing it, even when he moved to the United States to build his career as a lawyer.

His first Latin-pop single, “Te Amaré,” was released on July 17 this year. Composed by Mendes himself, this track was produced by Tim Mitchell, Shakira’s Grammy-winning producer. The song was such a success that it was named by several Italian media as Italy’s 2020 Summer hit. Te amaré also acquired the first rank among the releases by New Artists in August. In the same month, the song stood on the 11^th rank for Independent Artists. As of October 2020, the song’s video clip on YouTube has surpassed 500,000 views, confirming its continued success past the summer period as well.

As mentioned above, Mendes has kept working on his music along with his law career. Today, Mendes manages the operation across TLRT as the head of the immigration department. By dedicating his time and investing extensive efforts in his firm for over a decade, he has successfully led the firm to expand its operations across Miami, New York, Los Angeles, San Franciso, Rome, and Milan.

Over the course of his career, Gianni has acquired the title “The Lawyer of the VIPs.” He has worked with various HNWIs and Fortune 500 companies. His clientele includes national and international modeling agencies internationally recognized fashion models, Golden Globe actors and movie directors, Grammy awarded Latin popstars, multi-awarded classical musicians, Nobel Prize-nominated scientists, and several other high-end clients.

A singer, guitarist, lawyer, and entrepreneur, Gianni did not stop here. With interest in the entertainment industry, Gianni had always wished to establish himself as a prominent entertainer. In 2017, Gianni went into a Zara store and pretended to be a mannequin. Not only did he entertained the in-store customers, but he also gained global recognition as his video went viral. It was due to this video that Gianni became a social media sensation. Today, he has more than 50,000 followers on Instagram, helping him establish an identity in the world of social media as an entertainer.

Gianni Mendes is a successful lawyer, co-owner of a prestigious law firm, a guitarist and a singer, and a social media star. His dream to become a well-known entertainer along with a well-reputed lawyer have all turned into reality because of his dedication and a mindset that ‘with passion, dedication, and determination, nothing in life is unachievable.’
