A genre-defying queer Latin Grammy-nominee with club-ready beats.

 

In an industry that looks to define artists, Latin Grammy-nominated Gina Chávez refuses to fit into a box.

From features on NPR’s Tiny Desk to Brené Brown to Colbert, this queer, bilingual, genre-bending musician has become a force to be reckoned with. Chávez—a truly independent recording artist—saw the fruits of her labor pay off last year where she was not only nominated for a Latin Grammy but was tapped to open the Latin Grammy premiere show. Now, the Texas native can be seen everywhere as one of the faces of LifeWTR’s #LifeUnseen campaign—with her own bottle and a commercial airing nationwide. There’s no way around it: Gina Chávez won’t be ignored.
