Bio

Bulgarian-born Geri X is a composer, a musician and a singer hard to put a label on. Fans and critics spotted it from the moment she broke onto the Tampa Bay music scene: Geri is an artist with a singular sound you have not heard before. One can see it in the way she confidently plays her Babicz guitar, eyes half open and soul pouring out with a rich, crisp and mesmerizing voice.

What started with a classical training in piano, guitar and voice, evolving out of a broad and eclectic blend of influences, has become wonderfully her own. In the process of sharing her songs, Geri bares her soul to ease the audience’s emotions. It is the strength of the voice and the charge to each word that draws them to a halt. “Geri X is a poet, rebel, and a singer with a voice that is demanding to be heard. She carries the intensity of a Mike Tyson punch with the serene beauty of one of the best female vocalists of this era” (L.A. Post)

She has received countless accolades for her work, including Creative Loafing’s Best Singer Songwriter for 2 years in a row, as well as playing Summerfest and Steel Bridge Song Festival in the last few years.

Aside from being a workaholic and an alluring performer, often carrying out few shows in a day, Geri is a prolific songwriter. This is a fundamental quality, which combined with her work ethic and the gift of sharing make her a true artist: one you can connect to.

Whether with a full band or on stage with just a guitar, she is simply captivating. One only needs to experience it.

Geri X consists of Geri X on guitar/vocals, Greg Roteik on bass/guitar.

Geri X makes public her 8th record, The Bedroom Sessions, in April 2010. It is an album the fan of heart definitely wants to hear. The Bedroom Sessions is as personal as a record can get but with this particular one, Geri goes a step further: she combines the old and the new. This is the place where folk meets indie. The record is filled with dynamics and swooping melodies, giving a new meaning to intense. All songs derive from personal experiences and the honest lyrics tell about what makes us do what we do.

Geri is an infamous believer in capturing the mood and this record reflects everything she currently feels, despite how contradicting the subjects may be. Listeners, who know nothing about her and her music, will be fascinated by the sincerity and passion of her voice, and how gracefully she draws you in and taps into your world. After all, the bedroom is the place to safely remove our armor and share the pleasant and the scary dreams.

The Bedroom Sessions is a strong and cohesive record. Geri had a dream team making it. Thanks to Billy Triplett, John Wesley and Underrated records it proved to be an experience a musician can only wish for. The timely involvement of Babicz guitars assured Geri’s instrument is tuned up and ready to tour.

In the coming 7 months, Geri X will be on the road promoting The Bedroom Sessions: the tour schedule is available at the “Tour” section at www.gerixmusic.com/tour; reviews and publications are posted in the “Media” section of the same website.
