BIOGRAPHY
Philadelphia songstress Sicilia exploded onto the scene in 2007, as her debut CD, ALLOW ME TO CONFESS, was met with joyous acclaim by fans and
critics alike.
She was heralded as a distinctive new voice in the Blues, as well as an insightful songwriter and interpreter of neglected classics in the Rhythm & Blues
canon.
In 2008 she was nominated for “Best New Artist Debut” at the Blues
Music Awards in Memphis, Tennessee, just as her sophomore release HEY SUGAR
proved her also to be a legitimate contender in the worlds of Classic Country and
Americana.
With her 2011 release, Can't Control Myself, Sicilia broadened her stylistic
palette, infusing even more Soul and Americana into her bedrock influences of Blues and R&B. This CD featured seven new Sicilia compositions, as well as three
choice covers borrowed from Bobby Bland, Stevie Wonder, and Ike & Tina Turner.
Sicilia’s singing and songwriting continue to break new ground, showing remarkable depth, power, and seemingly unstoppable growth. Can't Control Myself was produced and engineered by Gina’s label mate, the insanely talented Dave Gross, who also played every instrumental track on the record
except for trumpet, sax, and one lap-steel track.
