Geminelle

For San Diego born-and-bred R&B singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Geminelle, music and healing are one and the same.

Though she started making music at age 13, her nationwide ’14 Follow the Music tour allowed her to realize just how far her craft could take her. That same year would find Geminelle leaving her native California and moving to New York, where she became part of Black contemporary artists collective, Tunnel Vision; released her ’16 debut Audiobook LP; and joined the female and non-binary-led activism group, Resistance Revival Chorus. These creative communities opened new doors for Geminelle, from sharing a stage with Kesha at the Grammys and Jim James on Fallon; to working with Tiffany Gouche and Valerie June on the forthcoming Resistance Revival Chorus Album, This Joy; and performing at SXSW and The Roots Picnic.

When Geminelle returned to San Diego in ’19, she delved deeper into the artist community back home and her wellness-focused Mantra Loops series. In what she describes as her “most successful and straightforward project yet”, the Mantra Loops album and ongoing virtual meditation series elevates the universal teachings and affirmations that have always been embedded in Geminelle’s music. Incorporating a loop pedal, guitar, ukulele, and sound healing techniques, the project also gives audiences a glimpse into Geminelle’s multidimensional live performance.

With Mantra Loops Volume 2 in the works, as well as collaborations with local artists like rapper Real J Wallace and producer PRVDNT, Geminelle continues to spread light through music. Within every aspect of her craft, Geminelle carries this mission forth, treating her music as a powerful healing tool for herself, her city, and all corners of her global community.
