Gina Williams [-o-]

Some say she has the voice of an angel, and the heart of a poet: Gina Williams will make you laugh at her stories, think about her messages, and just as you let your guard down she blows you away with this divine voice.For almost two decades, Gina has been dedicated to the telling of her peoples stories. Trained as a journalist, Gina spent eight years at the helm of GWNs Milbindi series, a show that highlighted the positive achievements and aspirations of the West Australian Indigenous community.Nowadays the mother of two is away from the camera, but her storytelling continues through music.And what nobody realised was Gina had a remarkable story of her own to tell. Her album, Brilliant Blue, is testament of this.Winner: Indigenous category, 2001 WA Song Contest, Winner: 2003/04 Kiss My WAMI, Most Popular Local Original Indigenous Act, Support: Wendy Matthews, Joe Camilleri, Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter, and Dave Steele, Headline Artist: Indigenous Showcase (2003 Perth International Arts Festival) Artist: 2004 WAMI Weekender and launch of the WAM Hall of Fame, Headline Artist: 2004 National NAIDOC Awards and Gala Ball, Headline Artist: 2005 Rotorua International Festival of Arts, Te Ihi - Te Wehi, (NZ) Finalist: 2005 WAMI Awards, Best Indigenous Act.
