“Truly gifted, what a great singer...” Michael McDonald
Having served as a top L.A. studio singer for over 10 years, Gigi MacKenzie has recorded national commercials and major movie soundtracks, including the hit movie Mr. Holland’s Opus and the theme song to “Nash Bridges”.
She has performed all over the world with many Grammy award winning artists such as Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Gladys Knight and Tom Scott, just to name a few.
In Gigi’s first solo album, “Skylark”, she brings a unique fresh style to the beautiful old jazz standards. Her captivating sound combined by the melding of Hip Hop, Modern Jazz and R&B makes these songs come alive once again. Not only is her voice wonderfully magnetic and sexy with a huge range, but a sense of intimacy unfolds as she accompanies herself on guitar, drums and percussion as well.
Gigi has been coupled with so many great musicians to achieve this romantic, cool and soulful jazz CD. It’s the perfect mix of old and new, sending the heart and imagination to great highs with songs like “Shadow Of Your Smile”, “Come Rain Or Come Shine” and “Cry Me A River”. It’s an emotional journey you don’t want to miss.
