Acclaimed singer-songwriter Gina Zollman just scored a nomination for Vocalist of the Year (Adult Contemporary) at the 2025 Josie Music Awards—a top-tier honor in the indie music world. And she’s not showing up empty-handed: her brand-new album Originals just dropped, packing 17 raw, genre-hopping tracks written and performed entirely by Zollman herself.
Set for this fall at Nashville’s legendary Grand Ole Opry House, the Josie Awards spotlight the very best in independent music across every genre. Zollman’s nomination is more than just well-earned—it’s proof that honest, soul-baring storytelling still wins hearts.
“I’m incredibly honored to be recognized by the Josie Music Awards,” Zollman shared. “To be nominated in such a talented field—and at this point in my journey—is overwhelming in the best way. Originals is the most honest work I’ve ever done.”
Produced alongside longtime collaborator and songwriter Kevin Fisher, Originals fuses adult contemporary, jazz-pop, and modern folk into one hell of a listening experience. Tracks like “Any Road You Choose,” “Heartbreak Highway,” “You,” and fan-favorite “Garden Grove, California” showcase Zollman’s signature mix of lyrical depth, wit, and vocal vulnerability.
Onstage, her ORIginaLS live show is making waves too. A one-woman performance that’s equal parts concert, confessional, and comedy hour, it’s wowed audiences at both The Gardenia in Hollywood and Arthur Newman Theater in Palm Desert.
Once a high-powered corporate exec, Gina Zollman flipped the script and found her true voice as a full-time artist. Her story is living proof that it’s never too late to take the leap—and sing your damn heart out.
Originals is streaming everywhere now and available for purchase on iTunes/Amazon.
