This relentless spirit and innovative songwriting have positioned her as one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary R&B, capturing the hearts of fans and critics alike.
From Detroit to Atlanta: A Journey of Growth
GiGi’s musical journey began in her hometown of Detroit, where the Motown legacy deeply influenced her artistic identity. “Detroit has a natural song in them,” she reflected, attributing her love for music to the oldies played in her household growing up. This foundation set the stage for her eventual move to Atlanta four years ago—a move that marked a significant turning point in her career. “Atlanta has been great for me. It’s where I found my voice and my identity as an artist,” she said.
Living in Atlanta exposed GiGi to a diverse array of musical influences, which she seamlessly weaves into her sound. Combining elements of traditional R&B, modern pop, and her personal experiences, she aims to create a sound that resonates with all listeners.
The Making of Waves of It
The EP, Waves of It, features a collection of tracks that delve into various aspects of relationships, love, and self-empowerment. GiGi describes it as a journey through both heartbreak and healing: “It’s not purely about heartbreak; it’s also about finding yourself and celebrating your strength.”
Songwriting plays a vital role in GiGi’s music. “Writing these songs felt like therapy for me,” she explained. Each track stems from her life experiences, allowing her to connect deeply with her audience. This authenticity shines through, particularly in standout tracks like “Diamonds Dancing” and “Fumbled Me,” both designed to evoke relatable emotions and affirmations of self-worth.

“Diamonds Dancing” serves as a confidence anthem for anyone who has gone through a rough breakup. GiGi describes it as capturing that newfound strength and outlook that comes after healing. The upbeat production complements her assertive lyrics, making it impossible not to dance along.
Next up is “Fumbled Me,” a reflective and soulful ballad that examines the pain of trusting the wrong person. GiGi’s vulnerable vocal delivery resonates with listeners, offering a sense of companionship to those who have experienced similar disappointments. “This song is for all the ladies who have felt let down,” she shares, making it clear that her music aims to empower.
Lastly, “My Muse” reflects GiGi’s softer side, showcasing her vocal range and ability to craft poignant melodies. This track captures the feeling of genuine love, contrasting the previous themes of heartbreak with warmth and tenderness. “I want this to be a song that lovers can relate to,” she states.

GiGi believes that R&B is experiencing a renaissance, with a newfound appreciation for artists who prioritize songwriting and vocal talent. “It feels like music is finally paying attention to real singers again,” she remarked. This is evident in her music, which pays homage to the greats of the genre while infusing her flavor.
She credits the rise of contemporary R&B artists who challenge the status quo, paving the way for future generations. “Artists like Cleo Soul are killing it right now, and it’s inspiring to see,” GiGi added.
