Biography

-2007-

“Gina Sicilia may be the best blues singer on the music scene today and shestill is only twenty-two years old. Her CD Allow Me To Confess
demonstrates maturity that belies her years, passion that usually only
comes from years of heartbreak, epic moments and wonderful love lled
moments. She is the female counterpart to Jonny Lang who while still in histeens blew audiences away with his gritty vocals.”
JazzTimes.com

“At a sexy twenty two, Gina Sicilia’s powerful, blues-infused pipes certainly belie her age: this is no blues hatchling taking her maiden voyage. On thecontrary, Allow Me To Confess is the debut work of a blues-momma in full blossom.”
AcousticMusic.com

“...unbelieveable voice... Her vocal chops and writing maturity certainly
belies the fact that she is a mere twenty-two years of age!! ...there will beinevitable comparisons to Etta James and other great blues singers. But, Gina Sicilia’s voice posessess such depth and breadth that she may indeed one day be mentioned alongside the giants in the blues idiom.”
Music City Blues

“Gina Sicilia has a voice that brings to mind Etta James with its soul and passion. Her debut release, Allow Me To Confess, not only shows Sicilia to be an extraordinarily gifted vocalist, but also a gifted songwriter.”

“I am taken with her ability to sing with both maturity and youthful re, andthat carries over to her songwriting and stage presence...her power is so exciting and obvious already”
Bob Margolin

“Sicilia (burning here, icy there) never sounds less than passionate, yet she’s also precise and in control. She knows what she’s doing.”
Blues Revue

“She sings wonderfully, writes great songs, this young lady with the Italian movie starlet looks really is destined for big things. If she is not appearing regularly on the USA and European festival scene next year then there is no justice in this particular world.”
Blues and Rhythm

“This is one of the best debut Blues albums I have heard in a while!
Philadelphian Gina Sicilia is only 21-years-old but sings with a combination of power and conviction that belies her relatively tender years. Even her prodigious application to vocalising would be extraordinary, but when one learns that eight of the eleven tracks are written entirely by the performer, we are in the presence of real and emerging talent.”
Blues Matters!

“...dramatically dierent from any of her peers. Her voice is robust and
earthy...Gina Sicilia has a solid rst album and star potential.”
