Expect standout tracks from her critically acclaimed albums ‘Valuable People’, '1972' alongside fresh grooves from her latest LP ‘Said MAN!’ which she has been touring & currently receiving major international airplay. This is a rare chance to catch a world-class artist and band at their best — soulful, funky, and absolutely unmissable.  A defining figure in the independent soul world, Gina has released 16 full-length albums, ten of which came through her own label and publishing house, Gico Music. Her signature sound effortlessly blends the timeless grooves of 70s and 80s funk and soul with a fresh, forward- thinking edge—bridging generations and capturing hearts worldwide. From devoted soul aficionados to fresh new listeners, her music resonates deeply with all who crave authenticity and innovation. Key albums like In His Time (1996), My Journey (2008), Funk Rhythm & Soul (2014), Valuable People (2024), and her latest vinyl release 1972 (2025) showcase her rich musical journey. The single “Smile” (2024) garnered widespread acclaim and heavy rotation on influential UK soul radio stations, further cementing her status as a staple in the scene. Since 2006, Gina has taken full creative control—writing, arranging, and producing all her work independently. Collaborations with Grammy-winning guitarist Michael J. Calhoun (Dazz Band) and renowned pianist Kevin Flournoy have enriched her sound, while her feature on Dave Lee’s Produced with Love 2 alongside soul legend Leroy Burgess highlights her reach and respect in the industry. Her music is a staple on major UK soul stations including BBC Radio London (performing live on the Robert Elms Show) , Mi-Soul Radio, Jazz FM, Solar Radio, 1BTN, Black Country Radio, Starpoint Radio, Diverse FM and many more. Esteemed DJs such as Ronnie Herel, Robbie Vincent, Greg Edwards, and Richie Tee have championed her work, with tracks like “Smile” (day time playlisted on Jazz FM & Song of the week on Mi-Soul) and selections from Valuable People winning Album and Song of the Year honours on respected soul platforms. A powerhouse live performer, Gina has sold out iconic UK venues including The Stables (Milton Keynes), PizzaExpress Live (Holborn), The Bear Club (Luton), and has guested at London’s Soul Mama. Her performance at The Vault in the flagship HMV store earned her a spot on the prestigious HMV Wall of Fame—a testament to her impact alongside both major label and independent icons. Her continued presence at key UK music hubs, including HMV Westfield London, speaks to her enduring connection with audiences. Vinyl collectors worldwide have embraced Gina’s work with enthusiasm: Valuable People sold out soon after release, and 1972 moved over half its stock before launch selling out in two weeks—proof of the loyal following she’s cultivated in the global soul vinyl community. Aside from hosting a full live UK band together with her husband, percussionist and radio presenter Andrew Sedman, Gina also forms the duo Monopoly. Their music blends soulful melodies with dynamic live percussion, delivering a sound that’s nostalgic yet refreshingly modern. Rooted in love, faith, kindness, and unity, their collaboration resonates with audiences around the globe. Looking ahead, Gina is poised to release her 16th album and third vinyl LP, Said Man!, a heartfelt 12-track celebration of love, resilience, faith, and authenticity. Following the huge success of Valuable People and 1972, Said Man! will launch on October 10, 2025, with a digital sneak preview preceding a full Bandcamp release in November and global streaming in January 2026. Written, produced, and recorded entirely by Gina at Gico Music Studios, the album channels her signature ’70s-style funk and soul with modern production, featuring standout tracks like the confident “I Said What I Said,” the introspective “A Rose in the Desert,” and the uplifting “Visible Yet Indivisible.” Gina calls this project “my heart on wax,” aiming to meet listeners wherever they are in life. A supporting tour begins January 2026 at London’s Soul Mama, promising intimate, soulful performances that embody her lifelong dedication to the genre. Gina’s career is decorated with numerous accolades, including the BMA Award for Best Gospel Artist, multiple CV Music Awards, the Bright Star Award for Best Soul & R&B Single, and 2024’s Album of the Year from Soul Station Radio UK. Chart successes on Solar Radio’s Sweet Rhythm Chart and BCfm’s Official Charts further underscore her consistent influence.
