Gia Woods

The Persian-American, LA born artist Gia Woods burst onto the scene with the viral sapphic hit “Only A Girl” in 2016, defining herself as an artist who is bold, cutting edge, and proud of her identity. Gia’s EPs Heartbreak County, Vol.1 and Heartbreak County, Vol. 2 were inspired by her experiences living, loving and growing up in Los Angeles. Vol. 1 delves into the “uglier side” of the iconic city with each song representing one of the classic vices of the City of Angels: addiction, sex, fame, and God. In Vol. 2 Gia takes a more personal tact, exploring heartbreak and disappointment “without all the glamor” of Vol. 1. Though Gia explores serious subject matter across the two releases she does so through her own undeniable lens, creating a sonic experience full of synth heavy, heart pounding, beat driven hits. "Your Engine" is the start of a new chapter for Gia, with the rising pop star leaning deeper into her Persian heritage for inspiration and reaching even greater emotional depths - as a writer and co-producer. Gia grew up in a traditional Persian household in which her family saw music as a part-time hobby instead of a higher calling. While her culture massively shaped her artistry Gia picked up guitar and piano on her own and gained influence from Western artists such as Madonna, Radiohead, and Bjork. Your Engine EP marks the dawn of a new era for Gia, diving into "what drives" her and listeners. Get ready to start your engines...
