 Nothing
leaps off of the page like a little primary color.
Which is why Redheads are so popular. Red is the color
of love, the color of passion, the color of power.
When
you first SEE Gina DeLuca, you immediately notice her fiery
red curls, and brilliant blue eyes - equal parts playful
and mysterious. Her presence is confident and sincere; deeply
introspective, and she is in complete command of her audience
before the first note is played or word is spoken. When
you first HEAR Gina, you are swept up in her innate vocal
ability. She is raw power, seductive finesse, and shades
of soul - all brought together by a single, pure, natural
voice.
Gina
DeLuca was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. Her love
for music was evident as early as age three, when she would
listen to the Beatles on her Barbie record player and sing
into the handle of a vacuum cleaner. Even with this budding
love of performing, the idea of making music her living
didn't come about until Gina turned twenty-two. After sitting
in with a local band she became addicted to the feeling
of performing live. As a solo vocalist, Gina found her opportunities
limited to performing with duos or groups so she decided
to take matters into her own hands by picking up the guitar.
Six months, forty songs, and a lot of determination later
she was not only playing the guitar but landed a weekly
solo gig at Leadbetter's Tavern, in Fell's Point, MD, where
she continued to play every Friday for the next eight years..
Gina's
goals are simple: record an all original album, tour the
World doing something she loves, form a band that can help
showcase her natural abilities, and be famous enough that
Prada will give her their clothes for free.
With
a steady gig and an ever-growing fan base, Gina has developed
quite an eclectic repertoire over the past seven years.
Currently performing over 500 songs from her ever-expanding
list, variety is inevitable and encouraged. While the majority
of her songs are covers, Gina brings a warmth and soulfulness
to each song that makes them, in some ways, her very own.
Gina
is influenced by Nina Simone, Annie Lennox, Eva Cassidy,
Susan Tedeschi, Sinead O'Connor, Sheryl Crow, Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone and Saffire-
The Uppity Blueswomen. Her natural style, and deep understanding
of the blues are evident in every song. From soft, delicate
whispers to powerful, defiant wails, Gina bears her soul
for all to witness. Red truly is the color of love, passion,
and power.
