About Beach Weather

Beach Weather catch a vibe somewhere between the most disparate of extremes. They write hooks universal enough for even the biggest arena full of people, yet introspective enough for even the most introverted wallflower to ponder. Their breezy guitars and sun-soaked choruses barely veil an honest exploration of emotional tumult, anxiety, and loneliness. Musically, the group teeter on an axis of nostalgic melodies and future-facing provocation.

About Gigi Perez

gigi understands how a song can change your life. Great music, the New York-based songwriter says, can help you trudge on through hard times. "Music is the only thing that really has ever gotten me through," she says. "I know that's what everybody says, but it's true — it's that thing we can hold on to." As gigi prepared the songs for her debut EP, she sought to make songs that inspired this same effect, so she got real. She depicts the life of a queer twenty-something with raw honesty and all-enveloping beauty, showcasing her blunt yet tender poetry amid windswept landscapes of acoustic guitars, swooping strings, and delicate reverb. 

Born in New Jersey and raised in Florida, gigi began writing songs in her teens and taught herself to play guitar, piano and ukulele. In high school, she formed the fuzz-folk band Wendy Lane with some friends including producer and multi-instrumentalist Aidan Hobbs, who is now one of her chief collaborators. She briefly attended Berklee College of Music before relocating to New York, where she began working on the songs that would make up her debut EP. This new project realizes her immense talent as a lyricist and singer — and gives listeners in search of solace something new to hold on to.
