Italian American Blues Singer, Gina Sicilia
10|07|21. Gina Sicilia, 25, is getting rave reviews for her bluesy singing style. Born in Newtown, Pa., she is the youngest daughter of Giovanni Sicilia, an Italian immigrant, and Patricia Sicilia, born near Philadelphia. Exposed to music by her parents, Sicilia showed her musicality at a young age. She began writing her own songs at 12, and by 16 had written numerous songs that would later be recorded on her 2007 debut album. Sicilia holds a degree in journalism from Temple University. Regardless of your musical tastes, we have no doubt that once you hear her sing, you will rush out and buy her CDs!
