Acclaimed singer-songwriter Gina Zollman has been nominated for Vocalist of the Year (Adult Contemporary) at the 2025 Josie Music Awards, one of the biggest honors in independent music. The nomination lands just as she releases Originals—a 17-track album of raw, genre-defying songs written and performed entirely by Zollman.
Set to take place this fall at Nashville’s iconic Grand Ole Opry House, the Josie Music Awards celebrate excellence across every genre in indie music. Zollman’s nod highlights her growing influence as a fearless storyteller with a powerhouse voice, magnetic stage presence, and a gift for spinning life’s wild ride into lyrical gold.
“I’m incredibly honored to be recognized by the Josie Music Awards,” said Zollman. “To be nominated for Vocalist of the Year in such a strong field—and at this stage in my journey—is overwhelming in the best way. Originals is the most honest work I’ve ever done.”
Produced with longtime collaborator and songwriter Kevin Fisher, Originals brings together a compelling mix of adult contemporary, jazz-pop, and modern folk. Standout tracks include “Any Road You Choose,” “Heartbreak Highway,” “You,” and fan-favorite “Garden Grove, California.” Zollman’s signature blend of lyrical depth, humor, and vocal vulnerability shines across the album.
Alongside the record, Zollman’s ORIginaLS live show has been drawing rave reviews. Her one-woman cabaret-style performance—equal parts concert, memoir, and masterclass in authenticity—has wowed audiences at The Gardenia in Hollywood and the Arthur Newman Theater in Palm Desert.
A former corporate exec turned full-time artist, Gina Zollman’s career evolution is a masterclass in reinvention. Her journey proves it’s never too late to raise your voice—and be heard.
Originals is out now on all major streaming platforms and available for purchase on Amazon.
