“Her voice stops you in your tracks.” —NPR Gina Chavez is a queer, Catholic, internationally-acclaimed Latinx pop artist who is redefining Latin music in Texas and beyond. With more than a million views on her NPR Tiny Desk, 12 Austin Music Awards, an hour-long PBS feature, and a 12-country tour as a cultural ambassador with the U.S. State Department, Chavez is ready for a bigger stage. She closed out 2019 with a 2-page feature alongside Oprah, Beyonce and more in a book by Southern Living celebrating 100 women of the South. This year, Chavez’s genre-bending Latin pop and gutsy voice are making waves with the release of her first all-Spanish language album, La Que Manda. The album tells the story of a woman coming into her power, and boasts the perfect mezcla of organic and digital sounds, lifting her signature soaring vocals to new heights. To bring these songs to life during a global pandemic, Chavez called on 16-time Grammy winner Thom Russo (Juanes, Enrique Iglesias), 2-time Grammy winning engineer Fernando Lodeiro (Esperanza Spalding), Grammy award winning musician/composer/producer Adrian Quesada and 2-time Latin Grammy winner Linda Briceno, the first woman ever to win Producer of the Year.
