From soulful vocals to poetic spoken word and Rap over Hip-Hop beats to spitting truth like a minister of sound over dub, soulTrap, bass heavy beats, or Jazz piano Gina René is a force to be reckoned with.

Gina's vocals were born out of the collaboration with her brother Gabriel and High School friends Mei-Lwun Yee and Andy Caldwell to activate the electronic music phenomenon Soulstice (Om Records), While her original music blends R&B/Soul, Hip-Hop, Pop to Rock to sounds inspired by the Effect-heavy dub roots of reggae and the mystique and power of music from around the world.

With this deep history in her bones it's no surprise thatthis inspiring songstress shines best by playing within a variety of musical genres, weaving a tapestry of soundscapes that connect with listeners from all walks of life.

Her energy alone magnetizes listeners with empowered truths all from a spiritual foundation formed during her journey through homelessness to spiritual awakening. Now that Gina’s been rocking stages for many years her spiritual path has led her to focus on mentoring and lifting up other women’s voices through her new ministry & mentorship offerings.

I am a lyrical sister, a spiritual uplifter, High Priestess of Hip-Hop, Divine Feminine Enlister. I spit truths, open minds and spark heArts, I’m here breaking all the rules from the start thru my art, Now I'm giving back to my sisters sharing what I’ve learned to help them Flip their scripture.

When I was 20 I discovered songwriting unexpectedly through a journaling practice I began as part of my own personal healing shortly after going through a mental and emotional health breakdown at the end of high school. It was an identity crisis which ended up being the catalyst for a life changing breakthrough and growth opportunity for me spiritually in the end. As a result of that experience I came to discover a natural gift for writing songs and lyrics,(something I never thought I'd be good at!) which only became clear because of my journaling practice which I came to refer this newer creative writing space as my lyrical journal. All this was possible because of the support of my family and other community resources.
