I'm Gerry's wife.. Yolanda, singer/songwriter and co-owner of GW-1 Productions. Currently, I do freelance Voice Over Work for English and Spanish advertising markets. I write music for developing artist as well as signed artists. I'm a songwriter for film and television with HeavyHitters Music Publishing, Sony and GW-1 Music Publishing. The biggest accomplishment I receive as a songwriter, is how my words and melodies are translated through song. I enjoy making the artist shine with lyrics that represent their personalities and visions.
Gerry and I have worked really hard to establish positive and productive relationships within the music industry. We thank God for what we've accomplished and for the amazing people we had the pleasure of meeting along the way. Networking is a good thing in this business when it's done properly and honestly. On a personal level, We're just genuine people who love God, Life, Family, Music and Culture.
