Born and raised in Havana, Cuba, Gina D’Soto was only 15 years old when she began to develop an interest in singing, and started collaborating with acclaimed Cuban musicians such as Yassek Manzano and Dayme Arozena. Gina has shared the stage with world-renowned musicians like Arturo O’Farrill, Antonio Sanchez, Roman Filiu, Ana Tijoux, and Jon Faddis.
