About
Born and raised in South Florida, of Mexican and Colombian descent, Giovy's love for music and innate talent began to show at an early age. Since she began singing at the age of 3, Giovy never missed a chance to perform and realized at the age of 12 that she was created to entertain. “I had no doubt, in that moment, that music was my life's mission,” she recalls of the day she won her first major talent show. By the age of 14, Giovy had over 200 shows under her belt, from winning national talent competitions to festivals, and with that came the experience of putting on an unforgettable live show.
After doing so many performances singing songs from her favorite artists in all genres, Giovy became a self taught guitarist at the age of 15 and began to experiment with the idea of creating her own songs. “I had always loved writing, it was one of my favorite subjects in school, but for some reason, I never put two and two together. My dad always believed that I could write my own songs, and the day I took his advice and wrote my first song, was a defining moment in my career, and in my life.” she explains. Since that infamous first song, songwriting has become an intricate part of Giovy's artistic expression, and a passion that allowed her to embark on the discovery of her own voice as a musician. Taking inspiration from influences in the range of Linda Ronstadt, Celine Dion, Selena, Carole King, and Elvis Presley, Giovy's style of making music is rooted in the timelessness of telling a good story with deep emotion. As she so quaintly describes it herself, “I've grown up listening to the best vocalists and singer/songwriters from the past and present, and no matter what they sing or write about, the string that unites them all is what I aim to reproduce in my music, undeniable passion.”
Her versatile vocal abilities and major chops for songwriting have given Giovy the opportunity to co-write songs with Grammy-award winning and highly successful songwriters in the international music scene, as well as spark major interest from producers, songwriters, and other industry execs in the mecca of music known as Nashville, who all agree that this prodigious and young songstress is “the one to watch.” And it's not only the industry who's noticing. In this digital era, where a strong presence all over the web is a must for a musician's success, Giovy is at the top of her game. With over 200,000 views on Myspace, a blossoming fan base worldwide connecting with her through all major social networks, and an increasing demand for her debut release, there is no question that Giovy and her music connect with who is ultimately responsible for driving the music industry, “the fans.” Their overwhelming response in such a short period of time serve as proof that commercial success is in this artist's immediate future.
Giovy has found a niche in bringing together what she calls the “best of both worlds”. Her marriage of the heartache and sincerity of country music with the passion and romanticism of Latin folk, make for an undeniable sense that Giovy has tapped into something big here. You throw into this mix, lyrics with a hint of urban poetry and a dash of old soul maturity, all wrapped up in the wondrous and enchanting view of a young woman who's dreams are endless. This is the future of music, nothing fabricated, simply real talent and a sincere love for making music from the heart. That is the essence of Giovy Jimenez. She's a complete artist, furthermore, an entertainer who brings her music to life on stage and in recording. It's only a matter of time before her talent, determined passion, and music catapult her into a place of international recognition. As her song says “It takes a long, long time to get there......it takes a long, long time to realize, when it's here, Here to Stay”. Without a doubt, Giovy Jimenez is a voice and a talent that is here to stay.
