Greetings from the UK --

Although Ginny was born in Tuscany and has all the passion and spirit of a feisty Italian... her singing heart feels more at home away from Italian music - and with western "English / American" music.

Pop - soul - R&B

Ginny is thrilled that she has been picked up by one of the legendary Music Producers in the UK - a veteran of the industry that has worked with Depeche Mode (#depechemode), the Eurythmics (#eurythmics), Genesis (#genesis), Robert plant (#robertplant) and a host of mammoth names from the music industry.

This weekend Ginny has been at the amazing studios near Bristol UK - laying down the first two tracks of the collaboration.

Ginny says "It has been tough. We've been working solid for about 2 days without breaks. This is just the start but I'm thrilled with the sound we've got. I think I've really found my voice here."

2015 is a big year for Ginny - building in her successes to date in 2013 and 2014. This sees a major shift from the project studios in #rome where the new songs will be created - to a major international #studio where the sound will be enriched and given a huge sound.

Ginny is looking forward to sharing the new songs in 2015... 

In the meantime you can catch some of her covers here....

Long Week - Working on Brand Image

It's been a long week for the entire team working on the Ginny Vee #brand. We've been refining in the studio to try and ensure we really get the right sound into the songs that defines the "sound brand" we want with Ginny Vee.

There's a certain set of sounds the musicians have been working hard on to ensure that the Ginny Sound is consistent across the entire range of #songs that she is working on. With this "guide" under the music we are adding the incredible #vocals of Ginny to give a unique  and stunning sound.

We've been asked many time is: How is the sound of Ginny Vee?

Well it's very much a modern pop sound - but we've been using some classic synths to generate rich deep layers in the tracks. Using a #midi input to capture the synth generated sounds into #protools where the tracks are meticulously built, layered and rendered. (we've been asked what we are using by some #techheads)

The sound engineers have been taking cues from the 80's and 90's to blend in with modern progressive beats, ambient sounds and some incredible new tools that give amazing effects with filters, fades and add vast space to the music.

Each track has a unique Ginny Vee Brand - but each and every one is a stand apart work - from up-beat almost dance tracks, to deep pop, to ballads, to funk. We've been working with talented session musicians that have added amazingly funky #guitar riffs, and rich #piano tracks. This blend of synths, loops, and real instruments is creating a very rich sound structure indeed.

Ginny has been laying down the vocals as we move to the final versions of the tracks - and we've been giving sneak peeks and Radio Press Kits out to gain feedback.

What has come out as a very constant theme is that Ginny Vee has a sound that is reminiscent of the early work of #madonna - yes a big claim but it's the critics that are telling us. And really - that is not a bad role model for vocals??

But don't be fooled this is not a copy of "Madonna" - it's a new sound, new vocals that have hints of one of the greatest pop stars ever. 

So as the "music brand" comes to life - the team has been recruiting image consultants, photographers and image experts. A huge part of the brand is in the image of Ginny Vee. But what is clear - she has a natural beauty and without doubt the #pictures that get the most comments and votes on #facebook (www.facebook.com/ginnyveeofficial) are Ginny's #selfies. (We've got a ton of requests of what camera Ginny is using for the latest #selfies - and we can say that we use exclusively #APPLE and the #iPhone 5s is used in the latest images).

To celebrate the success of the #selfies we have added a cool new feature to the #official Ginny Vee website (www.ginnyvee.com). It's what we call the #selfie page - a page where you can find #selfies by Ginny and by many of her #fans that have been sending us their #selfies. If you want your #selfie on the page - then simply mail one to info@ginnyvee.com 

For Ginny one of the most important things is #fan interaction - and Ginny and the team have been working hard to make sure we have regular updates on #facebook, #twitter and #instagram and #+google - our first four main social media pages for Ginny. And already she has over 40K followers across the various social networks. Ginny is first and foremost a #socialnetwork user - and you can interact with her on any of these channels - just look for @ginnyveemusic on any of the social media networks or directly from #google

It has been a huge amount of work - and well - it's only just started. The aim is to get the #fans incredible content in the form of exclusive #backstage, #interviews, #photos and ultimately amazing #music and #pophits. 

Already Ginny has some #videoclips online on #youtube but we are working hard on lots more - with some exclusive #backstage clips and #vlogs to come very soon. Stay with us as the #number1 priority is the #music and we are working on that night and day - getting all the other stuff as we can.

But we still need your help - and any of you that can help spread the word on any social media networks will be so helpful. This project was born as an innovative social experiment #astarmadebyyou and we still believe that #socialmedia will be the key driver for Ginny Vee and the "Ginny Vee project" - and that means we need your #help

Next week we will have some key updates from the #recordingstudio 

Keep watching.

Few Updates

Been an incredibly hectic week with the adjustment of "Heaven n Back" at the studio. Roberto Cola the musician has done an amazing Job and it is sounding amazing.

In the meantime we have been developing more singles for the EP and the Album, and one of them has jumped out as the possible next single -- can't say anymore but we think people are gonna be dancing out of their seats when they hear it. Deep 80's melodies, up to date pop sound with a rocking dance rhythm that is just mind bendingly funky.

We have a new guitarist that has joined the team and WOW -- more details to follow very soon.

It's a small update as Ginny is running (as we type) to the Studio to lay down a first vocal track of this amazing new song. Then we have a dinner meeting with the producer and -- it's all go!!!

Project Studio

Yesterday Ginny Spent three hours in the project studio with the Producer, Arranger and Manager for the Ginny Vee project.

The Project Studio, run by Roberto Cola, is designed to be an experimental music laboratory #projectstudio. This is where the creative process takes place, initial tracks are laid down and the first vocals are recorded. Once the team has a solid first version they will take the tracks to one of the larger production studios such as Forward Studios based near Rome. #forwardstudios

Here the songs will be layered and mixed to create a unique Ginny Vee sound and music brand. This will give the depth and richness to the music to create a truly international level song. 

In the three hour session yesterday several key decisions were taken: which will be the first single, what will be the unique Ginny Vee sound and brand. Aspects for the art direction, video direction and imagery that will be created around Ginny.

But, as is the function of the project studio - a new song was in its embryonic stages - and the music writing team, and Ginny were thrilled with the first draft of what could be on of the first #singles to be released during 2014. There is a lot of hard work ahead - but the entire team walked away energized by the direction and the energy in the project.
