iiO (sometimes written as IIO, pronounced “eye-oh”) is a New York City based house music act consisting of producer/songwriter Markus Moser and singer/songwriter Nadia Ali. iiO are best known for their 2001 hit “Rapture (Tastes So Sweet)”. The name iiO is derived from the Sony PC laptop model VAIO, on which the duo was creating much of their early work, and the duo was in fact first known as Vaiio.
After “Rapture” was released, the duo followed suit with “At the End” in 2003. IIO’s first album, Poetica, has been delayed several times and was finally released in May 2005. “Smooth” was the first single released to promote the (then still upcoming) album, and was followed by “Runaway”, and their latest single, “Kiss You”.
Nadia Ali is currently working on a solo project. |
