A lifelong passion for music and years of singing in a variety of musical
styles are behind the success of Gina Zavalis and the recent release of her
debut single "In Your Eyes." Nashville's Beth Schackne of Schack Attack Songs
says, "Beautiful melody, nice strong chorus. Gina obviously has a good grasp of
the craft; very impressive..."
"In my humble opinion Gina Zavalis is THE next great American voice. Her
sheer talent and presence alone will win you over but just wait until you hear
the girl sing... Remember I told you so when she is headlining the universe!"
Remarked Joe Bonsall of the legendary Oak Ridge Boys.
Zavalis, a well-seasoned performer, as her faithful fans can vouch, is
breaking through industry barriers with the recent release of her debut single,
"In Your Eyes." Now, she is working on her solo music career with producer Doug
Beiden, who has worked with artists Jennifer Paige, Michael Sweet (Stryper),
Mandisa and TV shows Secret Millionaire (ABC), Suns Of Guns, Flying Wild Alaska
(Discovery), Million Dollar Money Drop (FOX) Find My Family (ABC), Coming Home,
Celebrity Wife Swap, Picker Sisters.
Zavalis works with manager Scott
McReynolds, who has developed the career of CCM artist Britt Nicole & consults
for Tom Jackson. Zavalis is also collaborating with LA
composer/orchestrator/conductor Bob Barrett, who orchestrates projects for
Disney and has scored films such as GARBO IN HOLLYWOOD & ALL OF ME: The Billie
Holiday Lester Young Encounters. Barrett has arranged for Diana Ross, Pat Benetar, Joe Cocker, Bill Medley, Chita Rivera, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations
& Maureen McGovern. Zavalis is traveling between New York City, Nashville
and Los Angeles to record a number of new songs. Zavalis is also signed with
LaFamos Public Relations Firm in Hollywood.
"Gina can wrap herself around a song, and in so doing, turns an ordinary
POPsicle into a downright CREAMsicle!" Sass Jordan, Juno Award winning artist
and former Canadian Idol host, remarked when asked about Gina's singing.
Nashville Music Guide wrote, "Her powerful, entrancing vocals have been
compared to noted industry divas as Celine Dion and Barbara Streisand, lending
both strength and momentum to the upcoming musical star's climb to success. Be
sure to keep an eye on this one, she is sure to go far with her spectacular
music talents".
In a nationally televised event at Yankee Stadium to a sold out crowd,
Zavalis sang the National Anthem. Tom Seaver is quoted as saying, "Wow, what a
voice, that's the best we heard all year!"
The LA Guitar Academy says, "In her new song, "In Your Eyes", Gina Zavalis'
warm tones invite listeners to travel with her on the journey from despair to
forgiveness. Her voice, plaintive at first, soars to brilliance as she captures
the moment of transformation - a moment of pure freedom. Introspective, brutally
honest, Gina conveys a very human moment: the desire for unconditional love,
even amidst one's flaws".
Zavalis' self-titled EP is filled with heartfelt lyrics, alongside her
intriguing sound and dynamic, powerhouse vocals showcasing her three + octave
range. Zavalis is already being compared to Sarah Brightman, Celine Dion,
Barbara Streisand and Adele.
