Gina Sicilia (born March 6, 1985, Newtown, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, United States) is an American blues singer. She is the youngest daughter of Giovanni Sicilia, an Italian immigrant, born in the southern Italian province of Calabria who emigrated to the United States in the 1960s, and Patricia Sicilia, born in Philadelphia. Sicilia has an older brother, David Sicilia, a physicist as well as an accomplished musician, and an older sister, Anne-Marie Sicilia, a math teacher in New Jersey. Sicilia attended the Council Rock School District in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Exposed to music early on by her parents, Sicilia showed a passion for music at a young age. By age 12 she began writing her own songs, and by 16 she had written numerous songs that would later be recorded on her debut album. In 2007, Sicilia graduated from Temple University with a degree in journalism. During her sophomore year of college, Sicilia began attending the weekly blues jam at Warmdaddy's in Philadelphia. It was there she got her first performing experience and met a large group of local musicians who would help her to record her first demo. ==''Allow Me To Confess''== In 2006 Sicilia recorded her debut album, ''Allow Me To Confess'', which was produced by Dave Gross and consisted of eight original songs. Musicians on the album included harmonica player Dennis Gruenling and Arthur Neilson. The album was released in early 2007 to rave reviews. ''JazzReview'' called her "the best blues singer on the music scene today"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=JazzReview review of Allow Me to Confess )〕 ''BluesWax'' said she was a singer with "...star potential.." ''Allow Me To Confess'' debuted at #10 on the Living Blues Radio chart, and peaked at #3 on XM Radio's ''Bluesville''. A few months after the album's release, Sicilia signed with the VizzTone Label Group. Sicilia was nominated for a 2008 Blues Music Award in the category of 'Best New Artist Debut'. She also performed at the ceremony alongside the blues pianist, David Maxwell. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gina Sicilia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
