Gina Chavez

Gay, Musician, Performer, World traveler

In an industry that looks to define artists, Gina Chavez refuses to fit into a box. From features on NPR’s Tiny Desk to Brené Brown to Colbert, this queer, bilingual, genre-bending musician has become a force to be reckoned with. Gina — a truly independent recording artist — saw the fruits of her labor pay off last year where she was not only nominated for a Latin Grammy but was tapped to open the Latin Grammy premiere show with her first all-Spanish release, "La Que Manda." Now, the Texas native can be seen everywhere as one of the faces of LifeWTR’s #LifeUnseen campaign — with her own bottle and a commercial airing nationwide. Gina has harnessed her power to make space for those who can’t be defined. From her half-Mexican, half-Swiss German raices, to her faith as a married Catholic lesbian, to her music, which she sings in both English and Spanish, the Latinx pop-rock artist is unapologetically herself — and wants that for others. Someone has to open the door, and Gina Chavez is doing just that.

The Enneagram, building bridges, being Christ in the world

What if we made a world where women were taught to take up space...
