Gigi Perez writes songs that feel like they were whispered straight into your ear and then left there to haunt you. Born in Hackensack, New Jersey, in 2000 to Cuban parents and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, she first found an audience on TikTok, where "Celene" and "Sometimes (Backwood)" went viral. A spell on Interscope followed, and with it the 2023 EP How to Catch a Falling Knife.

Then she walked away from the label and put out "Sailor Song" on her own terms, and it became the kind of hit indie folk almost never gets: a hushed, aching song with a campfire strum that climbed to number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went all the way to the top in the UK, Ireland and Latvia. The song anchors her 2025 album At the Beach, in Every Life, alongside its title track and "Chemistry".

She's also spent time on the road opening for Hozier, Noah Kahan, Coldplay, Girl in Red and Noah Cyrus, a pretty good education in how to hold a room with not much more than a guitar and a voice that cracks in all the right places.
