Genuinely Poise (GP) is the embodiment of self-love, authenticity, loyalty, and integrity. It represents standing for what is right and gracefully doing the right thing in every situation.
GP’s musical journey began as a child, performing at school and in front of her sister, mom, and stepdad. She was always told she had a great voice, but her self-doubt wouldn’t allow her to take things too seriously. Although she wrote poems,and songs, and expressed herself through writing, she’s always been low-key about her musical talents until now!
GP’s musical infuences come from a diverse array of artists spanning hip-hop, and R&B, genres—including Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Aaliyah, 2Pac, J Cole, and more—GP crafts her lyrics with a blend of personal experiences and or by embracing others’ lively adventures, she has a unique way of infusing her music with a message of self-empowerment and resilience.
Although GP comes from an R&B and Hip-hop sound, GP feels to be in her lane in terms of musical genres.She is an everyday mom of four and a wife of 12 years. She is no stranger to our everyday struggles and has experienced some of the most unimaginable losses of those she loved, yet she continues to not let life get her down. Her positive mindset to overcome any obstacles and apply her energy as a good positive source to fght through life is nothing short ofnspirational. GP has a strong desire to inspire while being inspired by all human nature. We asked her, “What would you like people to gain from your music?” She answered,
“I want people to know what it’s like to be Authentically Fine. I want them to love themselves but also know how to check themselves because we can all use good checking, you know what I mean? I’m talking about check-in, checking in with yourself when you need to hold yourself accountable. I want them to feel that they are good enough. When life comes at them hard, to know that they have the strength within themselves to keep it moving and to be a blessing in this world. The fake ones are LIT, and we need more real, down-to-earth folks being game-changers out here. We need more encouragers out here. Be kind, but don’t be blind. Not everyone is for you and that’s OK. Learn all those things about you that hurt(s) you and work to heal. Every day should be a healing journey. We all deal with so much trauma that it can cause us to act ugly. I know what that feels like but it serves us no real purpose! I just want to make music that inspires someone to love themselves harder and encourages them to walk in their truth. To sum it up – OWN being yourself.”
This spring, GP is dropping her single “Mental Note” in conjunction with Hilltop Coalition Hustlers. The song “Mental Note” comes from a place of trauma, yet it takes a healthy twist by letting it be known she now has the tools to work through those obstacles. Needless to say, GP is Authentically Fine and wants to encourage others to be the same. Stay tuned for all the great music there is to come!
