Emiliano Géant is a Venezuelan-Spanish opera singer, pianist, and recording artist who specializes in vocal repertoire ranging from the baroque era to the early romantic period, with occasional forays into more contemporary composers such as Gabriel Fauré and Manuel De Falla.

Géant's musical journey began in Caracas at the age of 12 when he started studying complementary courses at the Juan José Landaeta Conservatory. He was a piano student of Gabriela Montero in Montreal and attended McGill University as part of the Opera Performance Program under Winston Purdy. After winning a scholarship from the government of Venezuela, he was accepted into the Master's program in Opera Performance at London's Royal College of Music.

As a performer, Géant has played many roles, including Mozart's Figaro and Don Giovanni, Donizetti's Belcore, Pergolesi's Uberto, Menotti's Ben, and Bizet's Escamillo. He sang the solos of Händel's Messiah with L'Arte del Mondo at Halle's Händel Festspiele in Germany in 2010.

As a recording artist, Géant has released four albums. His first album, "Händel Insólito," is a full solo recital dedicated to bravura arias accompanied by harpsichord, which was released in 2013. His second project, "Arie Antiche," is a collection of celebrated Italian baroque arias rearranged and set by Alessandro Parisotti at the end of the 19th century, where he performs both the vocal and piano parts recorded and mastered in the studio, which was released in November 2015. On his third album, he published the piano accompaniment solos for the arias recorded on his second album to use as sing-alongs for young singers. Finally, his fourth album, "Piccolo," is a portrait dedicated to his talents as a singer and solo pianist.
