About your feature:
Gee ‘Gingy’ Riley comes to us from Chicago but has proudly called Colorado their home for nearly the past 4 years. A proud black non-binary creative, Gee’s pronouns are they/them.
Starting from elementary school band(s) to college passion projects, Gee has transitioned their love for music and creativity into a solo career as Gingy and the occasional feature as Huneedoo with a 7-piece Jazz-fusion band ‘Joe Smith and The Spicy Pickles. They are always open to collaborations with other talented and dedicated artists.
After a myriad of theater, musical theater, and singing experiences in their earlier years, Gee turned their sights on poetry. Viewing the connection between music and poetry as something intangible yet intrinsic, the transition was an agreeable one. Many of their songs begin as an emotional poetic outpouring and morph into a tune somewhere along the way as the melody overlays in their mind.
