A multi-ethnic Latin pop songstress, Gina Chavez is a nine-time Austin Music Award winner fresh off a 14-country tour as an ambassador with the U.S. State Department. Her bilingual album, Up.Rooted, topped both the Amazon and Latin iTunes charts following a feature on NPR's All Things Considered and her Tiny Desk has more than 600,000 views. Chavez’s passionate collection of bilingual songs take audiences on a journey through the Americas, blending the sounds and rhythms of the region with tension and grace. Her Spanish-language anthem, “Siete-D” (winner, John Lennon Songwriting Contest) recounts her experience volunteering in a gang-dominated suburb of San Salvador where she co-founded Niñas Arriba, a college fund for young Latinas. Chavez's new single, "Heaven Knows," features a sound "steeped in slow-burn soul and uptempo R&B" that already has NPR under the spell of her forthcoming EP Lightbeam, due out September 2018.
