About Me

Gina Venturini is a vocalist in the classic sense of the term. She sings from the soul and loves every note with all of her heart. From classic jazz to classical chorale, a television audience or a Saturday night crowd, Gina is right at home. Her delicate, crystal clear and beautiful voice cuts to the raw emotion of a song and deeply touches the listener every time. You will feel her motto, Let the music from your soul touch anothers heart.Gina grew up in North Platte, Nebraska knowing at age three that she wanted to be a performer. She studied trumpet in high school before switching to opera at the University of Nebraska. Upon graduation, Gina made another switch, this time to the musical hotbed of Minneapolis. There she performed as a backup singer for a Neil Diamond/Elvis impersonator. She soon landed a tour with a Top 40 dance band called Passion. Gina honed her craft while singing six nights a week in Marriot hotels up and down the East Coast.In August of 2003, Gina hooked up with guitarist/songwriter Sean Stratton and Drummer Tristan Destry to form a partnership called Genius Girl and in May of 2005 they released their Original Country/Blues/Jazz compilation of love songs titled "Happy Moon".After a year of playing the Local La circuit and local festivals, Gina is back to being a solo artist and in search of professional musicians to back her on Jazz standards and her original music.Ginas voice has been heard on local radio stations from Nebraska to Los Angeles. She has also appeared as a dancer and featured vocalist in several musical theater productions, and has joined countless bands onstage in Los Angeles and on national tours.
