Gigi Perez’s path to her current status of beloved, confessional alt-pop songwriter on the up-and-up has been anything but straightforward: full of twists and turns, and marked by unfathomable loss, grief, and self-made success.
Joining us in the studio for the first time, she discusses her 2024 breakout hit ‘Sailor,’ and her journey up to this point — from signing to a major, to getting dropped and going it alone and learning to produce, to signing to a major again, ultimately releasing her rich and wondrous debut, At the Beach, In Every Life.
But we also go deep on her childhood, the influence of her sister Celene, an opera singer and the profound effect of her untimely passing, tumblr escapism, and how writing (and Hayley Kiyoko and Troye Sivan) helped her make sense of her sexuality. Plus the power of Chappell Roan, her complicated feelings about religion, and so much more.
