GiGi Gray
SIX GENERATIONS.
That's how long Gwen "Gigi" Gray is proud to say her family has not only survived, but thrived in the Stop Six community of Fort Worth, Texas. Because of this, Gigi, a Gospel/Jazz Vocalist, Songwriter and Poet, says her inspiration to write comes from being a listener with a heart for the urban woman.
On her life journey as a wife, mother, grandmother and women's diagnostic healthcare professional for more than 27 years, Gigi has helped to share the joys, and bear the pains of life with countless women. She firmly believes she has been gifted by God to translate mere words and sounds into instruments to help promote the physical, emotional and spiritual healing of others. "God has given me the gift of encouragement, and a heart to guide hurting women toward a path to be made whole through Jesus Christ," ~Gigi.
Her latest project, HONEY FOR QUEENS...Songs of Healing, is a Gospel Jazz Cd produced in Dallas,Texas by Eric Willis and X-Protege Music Publishing. With the help of several World Class musical artists, HONEY FOR QUEENS incorporates SEVEN musical genres. "This time my songs are more personal, written with the belief that the listener will without a doubt, experience spiritual healing." ~Gigi
In spite of having no formal musical training, and a profound congenital hearing loss, her first formal project, First Fruits: Songs of Encouragement for Women was self-produced in 2005 and continues to be a blessing.
A Christian since the age of five years old, Gwen Gigi Gray is currently a member of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, where Dr. Wm. Dwight McKissic, Sr. is her pastor. Gigi continues to be a speaker and worship leader, and uses her God-given talent of musicianship to connect with local organizations that provide physical, spiritual and emotional help for women through her group: THE HONEY PROJECT. Gigi also distributes her healing music to women who may never have a "church experience" with the help of Beauty Professionals through her group THE SALON INITIATIVE.
Gigi says her musical influences are giants in the industry such as Sarah Vaughan, Etta James, Mahalia Jackson and Albertina Walker. Whether promoting healing of the Body, Soul, or Spirit, Gwen Gigi Gray has a playful style of musical storytelling that's sure to hold your attention!
