Influences
Whatever moves my heart, soul, and body. There are too many to name, but the main artists who have greatly inspired and influenced me throughout the years are - U2, Peter Gabriel, Tori Amos, Seal, Coldplay, Earth Wind and Fire, Aretha Franklin, Blondie, The Rolling Stones, Sarah McLachlan, Pat Benatar, The Clash, The Beatles, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Sheryl Crow, The Who, Frank Sinatra, Tina Turner, The Pretenders, Annie Lennox, Johnny Cash, The Police, Daniel Lanois, Billie Holiday, and Lucinda Williams.
“Music is my sanctuary, singing is my passion” Those are the words that the Utah-based musician and singer/songwriter Gina French uses to sum up her musical vision. Hers is a voice that has been variously described as “volcanic” and “an angelic instrument” by different reviewers. French is not a newcomer. She’s been around, spending years performing both in bands and as a solo act, gradually learning the basics and paying her dues along the way. Long ago she came to realize that she had almost literally been born with music in her blood, but it has taken her time (often while life intervened) to nurture and cultivate her natural gifts through a patient and gradual growing process which has brought her to where she is today. This dynamic songstress delivers emotionally driven music, which incorporates, blues, rock, pop, and world beat undertones, all wrapped up in her sultry, soaring, and soulful vocals.
French's current project, "DREAMLIGHT", which will be a tribute album for her late father, James Smith, is in the early stages of production. She has begun recording in Salt Lake. A tenative release will occur sometime in 2008.

Hi Gina .. thank you so much for your comment and really sweet words .. I cannot begin to tell you just how much that means to me. I think about you often and hope that you are doing okay. Looking forward to your pm.
Gina, you are too kind. I don't know if all my wishes will come true since I haven't heard that Bono was in town over this past weekend and I didn't hear that you managed to run into him either. My birthday was terrific and thank yo for the kind wishes.
Gina, You do not know how many times I réécouté Cast off! How many times the sun will be needed to reach the sea! To hear again and again your voice on water and the sky! Gina you are like our universe: the sun and its companion the sea! The day arrives for me would t'entendre again! I t'embrasse, JC Tu ne sais pas combien de fois j’ai réécouté Cast off ! Combien de fois le soleil aura eu besoin de rejoindre la mer ! Pour entendre encore et encore ta voix sur l’eau et le ciel ! Gina tu es comme notre Univers : le soleil et sa compagne la mer ! Le jour arrive pour me permette de t’entendre de nouveau ! Je t’embrasse, JC
Sorry you been hurtin'. I had similar prob many years ago as a bass player, but I didn't have any surgery, just gave it a rest for a long time and it went away. Suspect that was tendonitis and not what ails you tho.... All our thoughts with you and send love and blessings for a speedy recovery
Hey there, I'm sorry if you've already checked out, but I've uploaded a song with guest vocal from Mikee Goodman (ex-SikTh) and another new song, please check them out if you are into tech-metal...
Thanks for the add, great stuff! Your voice is amazing! Soft and caressing, gorgeous. I found “Child of War” quite moving. I like “Hard Way” (both versions) too, pretty much sums up love for me. I’ve enjoyed spending some time here listening to your songs. All the best,
Carpo is fixable but choose your fixer wisely. AND your voice is intact (and kickin!) and you can always ask a friend to play while you heal :) Zeke (Your awesome)
