Gigi Perez has officially announced her signing to Island Records.
The buzzing singer-songwriter, a New York/New Jersey native, raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, has just made her debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with the hit single “Sailor Song.” Two weeks ago, the single made its debut on the chart where it continues to climb and has generated millions of streams. The song has also reached Top 10 on Spotify’s US chart and Top 15 on the Global chart. Next up, she will hit the road on two sold out headline shows in October on both coasts in Los Angeles and New York as well as direct support to Girl In Red on a string of dates across North America. This run kicks off on November 23 at The Factory in Dallas, TX, visits major markets, and concludes on December 1 at The Wellmont in Montclair, NJ.
Back in 2021, Gigi introduced her singles songwriter career with “Sometimes (Backwood).” It resonated with audiences, amassing over 140 million Spotify streams. Balancing folk eloquence, alternative spirit, and subtle pop appeal, her lilting vocal delivery and delicate instrumentation instantly struck an even deeper chord on the 2023 EP, How to Catch a Falling Knife. Throughout 2024, she maintained her momentum with “Normalcy” and “Please Be Rude.” During the Spring, she initially shared “Sailor Song” on TikTok where it caught fire, appearing in over 100,000 videos. That success translated to streaming platforms, reeling in 165 million Spotify streams. Plus, Billboard, HITS Daily Double, and more marveled at her breakthrough. Now, she has joined the Island Records family.
