Following the success of her release “Anywhere With You,” Gina Zollman has just unveiled her new single, “Where I Begin,” available worldwide via Tribeca Records.
Gina Zollman, a singer/songwriter from Palm Springs, is making a vibrant comeback on West Coast stages. A California native, Gina discovered her passion for singing at age six and performed throughout her school years. She pursued higher education at UCSD Revelle College, earning a BA in Linguistics and a minor in Music. Post-graduation, she thrived as a stockbroker and later as Vice President and COO of Flame Gard, a pioneer in kitchen safety innovations.
Despite her corporate success, Gina’s heart belonged to showbiz. She left her job to pursue singing, debuting her one-woman show at The Gardenia in Hollywood to a sold-out audience. Known for her comedic characters like “Svetlana, the Russian Runway Model Who Ran Away” and “The PMS Poster Woman,” Gina’s performances are both entertaining and memorable. She auditioned for “In Living Color,” landed a co-starring role in “LA Young Pal,” and joined the Screen Actors Guild after appearing on “The New Gong Show.”
Gina’s vocal talents have taken her to Carnegie Hall, where she performed John Rutter’s “Te Deum” and “Gloria” with “The Marina Singers.” In 1997, she underwent gastric bypass surgery, successfully losing 120 pounds and maintaining her weight loss for over two decades. Despite significant health challenges, including Stage 3 colon cancer and a stroke, Gina remains resilient and humorously introspective in her performances.
Her extensive stage experience includes venues like The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s Cinegrill, The Magic Castle, The Comedy Store, and The Catalina Jazz Club. She also originated roles at The NoHo London Music Hall and studied acting at The Actor’s Center, receiving private coaching from Second City alumna Sandy Holt. Gina’s album, “Gina Zollman: Anywhere with You,” produced by Steven Applegate, was recorded at Capitol Records in Hollywood.
Now, Gina divides her time between Southern California and Point Roberts, Washington, enjoying a seasonal life near Vancouver, BC.
