Music careerGina has recorded three albums as Gina Green, which are In His Time, Changes, and Tell 'Um. She is known for her vibrant spirit and silky-smooth vocal style, and is often compared stylistically to 1980s pop diva Stephanie Mills. Her music blends elements of contemporary R&B with 1970s soul and modern-day hip hop to create a neo soul gospel flavor. Gina has performed on the same stage with Gospel artists Tonex, J Moss, TBN's Bill & Rene Morris, The Gospel Gangsters, two-time Dove Award nominees God's Original Gangstaz, Brent Jones, and many others. Gina Carey is the founder and CEO of Gico Music, an independent music label and entertainment company.[9][2][10] AlbumsGina has produced 14 CD albums (3 gospel and 11 soul CDs), as well as 5 hit singles that have reached number one on the UK charts.[9] Her CD albums include:
Gina's debut album, In His Time, was released on Grapetree Records in 1997[11] under her then-legal name, Gina Brown, and sold over 10,000 copies worldwide. The album was received particularly well in Europe, topping out at number two on the U.K. Gospel charts. 2003's Changes[12] was released independently and sold at a respectable pace. The planned release for Tell 'Um, her third album on Rite-Step Records, fell through in mid-2005 as the label folded before it even got off the ground. The album was later picked up by Nashville-based Trendency Records and released nationally in July 2006.[13] The singles Hiding Place and Testimony received moderate airplay across the U.S. and in Europe. Both the Changes and Tell 'Um albums were produced by Isom Green, Jr., who has worked with Dr. Dre, Whitney Houston, Ice Cube, and Snoop Dogg.[14] Tell 'Um (2006){{Infobox album| name = Tell 'Um | type = Album | artist = Gina Green | cover = | alt = | released = July 25, 2006 | recorded = | venue = | studio = | genre = Gospel, neo soul | length = | label = Trendency Records | producer = Isom Green, Jr. | prev_title = | prev_year = | next_title = | next_year = }}
