About Me

From her first performance singing Christmas carols in front of her family’s fireplace, Ginette displayed a natural ability to shine in the spotlight. Born in Calgary, Alberta, Ginette currently resides on the west coast, in Langley, BC. Formally trained in dance, voice, and piano, Ginette has also figure skated competitively at a national level.A Tomboy Girl at heart, she spends her down time dirt biking, wake boarding, and basically doing any sport that is fast or extreme. “I grew up in a neighborhood of boys and developed an anything they can do, I can do attitude”. This motto provided the inspiration for the title track and first single from Ginettes debut Country CD, Tomboy Girl. “It is so great to have a song to perform that totally expresses who I am and what I want to say. Country music is so alive and real, give me a freight train beat and a banjo and I’m ready to rock, Country style!”“We’ve worked really hard to make a great CD…I’ve learned so much about the recording and songwriting process… Every song we recorded suites me to a T. As well as originals, we have done a cover of the classic Eagles tune HOTEL CALIFORNIA, and to top it all off I also sing the song 23 DAYS in both English and Spanish.”Ginette has already logged some tremendous live performance experience… Over the past 2 years she’s had the chance to share the stage with artists such as George Canyon, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Patricia Conroy, Duane Steel, Diane Chase and Matt Minglewood! She has sung for our Canadian troops overseas in Germany, Belgium, Egypt, and Alert in the Canadian North, as well as appearing on the Main Stage at the 2007 Merritt Mountain Music Festival along with some of Nashville’s top hit makers. 2008 brought the release of her debut country single TOMBOY GIRL, followed by her second single I’M ALL OVER THAT, which is currently flying up the Canadian Country Music Charts! Mid March found Ginette once again in the Persian Gulf singing for the troops…she loved it so much that she went back in May, this time to Afghanistan… This is just the tip of the ice berg for Ginette… She says it best in her own words, “ I can’t picture living my life any other way… the amazing energy you feel from the audience is the most exhilarating thing in the world…I’m totally hooked!”
