Gigi Perez was one of 2024’s breakout stars. Her single “Sailor Song” migrated from social media to become a Billboard top 40 hit. She ended the year with “Fable,” a track that compliments her recent work while expanding her sound.

This year could be even bigger. The South Florida artist starts her first headline tour in April. With an audience that has expanded beyond the U.S., it includes European and American legs.

Perez has found success before. A few years ago, her single “Sometimes (Backwood)” exploded on TikTok. This led to widespread exposure and a spot opening for Coldplay.

With an intimacy that recalls Nick Drake and the sonic creativity of Fiona Apple, Perez looks to have a career filled with substantial music and deep lore.
