For @Geminelle, music and healing are one and the same. “I hope my music creates a space for others to be able to look at themselves with compassion and deep acceptance.” This purposeful exchange is central to Geminelle’s own journey as an artist. Though she started making music at age 13, her nationwide ’14 Follow the Music tour allowed her to realize just how far her craft could take her. “That set things off for me,” she says. That same year would find Geminelle leaving her native California and moving to New York, where she became part of Black contemporary artists collective, Tunnel Vision; released her ’16 debut Audiobook LP; and joined the female and non-binary-led activism group, Resistance Revival Chorus. These creative communities opened new doors for Geminelle, from sharing a stage with Kesha at the Grammys and Jim James on Fallon; to working with Tiffany Gouche and Valerie June on the Resistance Revival Chorus Album, This Joy; and performing at SXSW and The Roots Picnic. When Geminelle returned to San Diego in ’19, she delved deeper into the artist community back home and her wellness-focused Mantra Loops series. The Mantra Loops album and ongoing virtual meditation series elevates the universal teachings and affirmations that have always been embedded in Geminelle’s music. Within every aspect of her craft, Geminelle carries this mission forth, treating her music as a powerful healing tool for herself, her city, and all corners of her global community.
