Gigi Perez has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold goes to support the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and their work building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.
Born in New Jersey, and raised in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, Gigi Perez is a rising alternative singer-songwriter. After a brief stint at the Berklee College of Music, Gigi shared an original track “Sometimes (Backwood)” on social media. The song became an instant success, generating over 18M streams within a month, reaching #1 on Spotify’s U.S. Viral chart, and to date surpassing 200M streams worldwide. She went on to work with music producer Jennifer Decilveo, releasing her debut EP, “How To Catch A Falling Knife” in April 2023. The EP included singles “Sally,” “The Man,” and “Figurines.” Following the EP, Gigi spent the year performing at various festivals and headline shows across the US, UK and EU. After parting ways with Interscope Records in early 2024, Gigi began releasing songs independently, first with “Normalcy,” her first-ever self-produced track “Please Be Rude,” as well as the hit single, “Sailor Song,” that’s amassed over 400M global streams to date. She earned her first ever U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart entry in August 2024, debuting at #98 and climbing to a peak to date at #22. Most recently, Gigi released self-written and self-produced track, “Fable.” She supported both Richy Mitch and the Coal Miners and girl in red this Fall, in addition to headlining New York, Los Angeles, London and Berlin dates. Up next for Gigi is new music, and more live shows.
