How Pietro Pizzorni Resurrects the Art of the Gentleman
Though many believe the art of a gentleman has been lost on younger generations, for Pietro Pizzorni, everything about his life emulates just that. As he navigates through a multifaceted career, at the core of his brand and aesthetic, mastering the art of a gentleman is incumbent. Though he’s popularly known as a DJ, Pietro’s endeavors only begin with music.
As some may refer to him as a modern-day Renaissance man, outside of his music, Pietro models and acts, manages businesses, functions as a brand ambassador for a classic car boutique in Miami and recently acquired a tattoo artist apprenticeship with Miami’s renown Asaad Morales of “Marked 4 Life.” While many associate the art of a gentleman with older eras, Pietro is now determined to apply the fashion and persona of a gentleman to all aspects of his life.
“Everywhere I perform or work, whether I’m on a show, DJing or tattooing, I wear suits,” Pietro says. “Sometimes they’re more modern styled with my sleeves rolled up and tattoos revealed, but a suit regardless.”

After growing up in Miami where regular attire consists of swimwear, shorts and sandals, Pietro insisted in changing the narrative of fashion for men. In a day and age where men rarely wear suits, Pietro found his interest in classic gentleman style by becoming a fashion blogger.
“There’s very little class, the way men dress in Miami,” Pietro says. “I’m bringing back elegance, class and the aesthetic of a true gentleman with the clothes I wear.”With a talent for attentively curating a gentleman-like aesthetic through his clothes and persona, Pietro earned the attention of fashion brands that then helped him pivot into a modeling career. Thanks to the help of close friend and photographer, Jahmar Amani, with whom he still works closely as Amani now shoots nearly 90% of Pietro’s content and photography. After Amani encouraged him to pursue modeling, Pietro signed with mother agency Casa Di Amani and then with Wilhelmina.
Today, when partnering with brands for modeling, Pietro has the freedom to curate his image by handpicking the brands. These choices help him capture gorgeous imagery consisting of flawlessly tailored three-piece suits often positioned in front or behind the wheel of a classic, exotic car. After garnering a close relationship with Argentinian brothers Gatson and Renzo Rossato, owners of Miami-based classic and exotic car boutique The Barn, Pietro now acts as an ambassador of the company, promoting and showcasing the cars in his photo shoots.
And when he’s not modeling, the gentleman focuses on acting through his role on Univision’s primetime dating reality TV show “Enamorándonos” as the owner of “Pietro’s Bar.” Since its debut in August 2019, the shows ratings have since doubled their projections. With the show’s meteoric success, Pietro can be seen on Enamorándonos airing on “Unimas” Monday through Friday for two hours from 8-10 in the evening.
And of course, known as a DJ, Pietro’s passion for music persists. For 12 years, he has spent time evolving his sound with the patterns of electronic music, house and underground, reinventing the sound and image of the genre with his gentleman persona. With residencies in major Miami nightclubs Wall, Floyd and Treehouse, Pietro is now focused on producing six new tracks to be released over the course of this year. Up ahead, the progressive gentleman looks forward to releasing his single, “Axiom” on Go Deeva Records. The single will debut in March during Miami Music Week and the Winter Music Conference. Inspired by sounds he encountered while traveling to places like Ibiza, Berlin, & Tulum, Pietro now experiments with melodic techno and tech house tones.
This summer Pietro looks forward to performing at Tomorrowland, the world’s largest and notable music festival based in Belgium. Later in the year, as part of the reputable Ultra Music Festival, he will additionally tour with the group’s Resistance tour in October throughout their South American tour. With the Resistance tour, he will take on major cities throughout South America with his tour manager Juan Carlos Dominguez, owner of “Feel the Club,” Pietro’s South American DJ agency. Visiting cities this year in Europe, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and more, Pietro will be seen DJing, often in a three-piece tuxedo all as part of his gentleman persona.
