IZZIO wins the prestigious DJ Promises competition
April 19, 2024–EPHRAIM, UT – Snow College student Fabrizzio Cotrino Cabrera, known artistically as IZZIO, has risen to prominence in the electronic dance music (EDM) scene, showcasing exceptional talent and determination. Born in Bogotá, Colombia, 21-year-old IZZIO has captivated audiences with this unique sound and passion for music.
Despite never performing in front of an audience before, the music production major seized an opportunity to compete in the prestigious DJ Promises contest held in Guadalajara, Mexico. With 1,118 participants spanning 19 Latin American countries, IZZIO’s rise to the finals is a testament to his unwavering dedication and talent.
As the victor of DJ Promises 2024, IZZIO won a course on music production, radio promotion of his single across 14 countries, and an exclusive invitation to Tomorrowland 2024, the world’s largest electronic music festival, held in Belgium.
Snow College music professor Ben Harris said, “Fabrizzio Cotrino is a dedicated and talented musician with a passion for music, especially EDM and DJing. He puts in more time developing his craft than many of the other students often staying late in the studio and then arriving early the next morning to continue working on his projects. His drive is insatiable and it’s beginning to pay off with his recent accomplishments. I look froward to hearing great things from Fabrizzio as he continues to blossom and develop throughout his career.”
