Born a Chicago native and grew up in Inglewood California. I have been singing since age 8. My talent was found when playing with friends in grammar school and I begin singing a Denise William song. From there, the principle heard me and it was at that moment when I knew I had a special gift that God had given me. I went on to sing in school talent shows etc. in 1991 I had the opportunity to record with an upcoming Christian Rapp group (THE GOGZ). This is event that ignited my interest in a professional singing career. From there I signed my first indi recording deal and released my first CD “(In His Time)” selling over 10, 000 CD’s nationwide), on Grape tree records. Later, 2 more indi CD’s followed. Changes & Tell Um which were released under my then own indi label Ritestep Records. And now, My Journey, my latest has just released independently under my new indi label Gico Music.
Over the years, many people have compared singer, songwriter Gina Green’s silky, smooth & rich sounding voice to the 1980’s R&B / POP diva Stephanie Mills; however, she has a unique and fresh sound for today’s generation. Combining truth & real life experiences, she has been able to write songs that connect with people of all ages & ethnicities. Her Debut CD“In His Time” shot up the European charts and topped out at #2 in the summer of 1996. Sales exceeded 10,000 units worldwide.
Later she went on to record two more independently released neo gospel albums “Changes” and “Tell Um” which were also a success. On August 13, 2006, she performed at the LAS VEGAS SOUNDS OF SOUL MUSIC AWARDS located inside the prestigious ‘Cashman Theater” In Las Vegas, Nevada. She was nominated by the “Black Music Academy Association of America (BMA’S)” in a total of two categories: “Best Gospel Performer – Female” and “Gospel Rising Star Award”. And won “Best Gospel Performer – Female”. The nominations were determined by a selection committee of music executives, radio station programmers, music journalists, fellow musicians and entertainers. In 2007, Gina auditioned for the Hit TV show “Showtime at the Apollo” and impressed the judges so much that she was invited twice to be a guest on the show filmed in Harlem, New York.
Over the years, she has performed all over the United States and has shared the stage and opened for many well established celebrities; such as The Lakers, Jane Kennedy, The boys, Tonex, J Moss, TBN's Bill & Rene Morris, The Gospel Gangsters, two-time dove award nominees The GOGZ, Brent Jones & The TP Mob and many others. Her latest CD “My Journey” written & arranged by Gina and produced by First Mile Productions is a combination of neo soul, spoken word, jazz, and R&B grooves with a very tasteful & poetic presentation. It is due to be independently released in 2008.Her new project not only appeals to those who love inspirational music, but has reached the neo soul R&B clubs and has a greatly impacted the Chicago Steppin' community. Gina Green is destined for success and she has that long awaited voice that your ears have been longing for.
