Gino Cunico was born in Sydney on February 26, 1949. He recorded his first single ''Aw Please Daddy / Eeny Meeny Miney Moe'' at the age of 13 for the HMV label in 1962. In 1966 aged 16, Cunico formed, The Gino Affair. The first lineup featured guitarist Ray Burton but by late 1966 the lineup had changed to Cunnico, Jim Kelly, Tony Bolton, Tony Bowman and Bob Daisley (both ex-Dennis Williams & The Delawares). The group's name was shortened to The Affair at the beginning of 1967 but Cunico left a few months later after being invited to join leading pop-vocal group The Executives. The Executives was a very successful band scoring several singles that charted. 

In 1969 he left the band and travelled to the United States to try his luck. In 1972, Gino released the album 'Strive, Seek , Find' with his former guitarist Ray Burton on Paramount Records. In 1974, Gino started his solo artist career by releasing the album 'Gino Cunico' on the Kama Sutra label. In the mid 70s Gino met the famous American record producer and music industry executive, Clive Davis the founder of Arista Records. Gino signed the contract with Arista Records and released the album 'Gino Cunico' in 1976. He also recorded a number of singles on this label. His last known recording was on the Wizard label as Gino Cunico And Fugitive with ''Everytime I See Your Picture / Nothin's Like Nothin''.
