Gina D’Soto

Cuban-born and New York–based vocalist, pianist, and songwriter Gina D’Soto (Regina Soto Sirgado, Havana, 1997) has quickly become one of the most authentic and versatile new voices at the intersection of R&B, Latin rhythms, pop, and Cuban traditions. With a voice that is both sensual and commanding, her music carries an emotional weight that draws audiences into stories of intimacy, longing, love, and transformation.

Described by Billboard Argentina as an artist “on a sonic journey through jazz and R&B,” D’Soto has been praised for her ability to bridge genres with elegance and sincerity. Remezcla and Kindline Magazine have both spotlighted her as a rising artist to watch, noting how her music captures both vulnerability and unapologetic femininity. Her latest single, “Lay with u” (July 2025), has been hailed as “a hushed storm of intimacy and sultriness,” expanding her reputation as an artist who speaks to the soul while staying grounded in her Cuban roots.

D’Soto’s path began in Havana, where her early influences of Cuban song, bolero, and jazz merged with her later passion for contemporary R&B and pop. After moving to New York, she immersed herself in the city’s dynamic music scene, becoming a Grammy ballot contender and collaborating with internationally renowned artists such as Ana Tijoux, Yendry, Danay Suárez, Arturo O’Farrill, Antonio Sánchez, and Daymé Arocena. Her performances have taken her to stages like the Havana Jazz Festival, Winter Jazz Festival, Fillmore Jazz Fest, and even to features on NPR Live Sessions.
