WHAT IT IS: Gia Woods breaks every rule. Casting a striking and exotic presence, the 22-year-old queer and Persian songstress provokes one moment and comforts the next. Her undeniable sex appeal translates beyond music and into each performance and visual, while thoughtful songwriting and impressive instrumentation thread the vision together. Captivating the LGBTQ community out of the gate with “Only a Girl” in 2015 and tapping the dance community with her 2017 Matoma collaboration, hit “Heart Won’t Forget,” the singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist signed her first record deal with Disruptor Records in 2018. Lead single “Jump the Fence” leaps off percussive snaps into a driving cadence during an energetic chant. Her next single, “New Girlfriend,” is due out on 3/1.
