Gina Sedman – Biography

Gina Sedman is a powerhouse creative executive and one of the most prolific independent forces in today’s global entertainment industry. As CEO, Founder, Owner, and President of GNA Universal Media, she leads a dynamic, multi-platform corporation spanning music, film, television, publishing, and broadcasting. Under her leadership, the company has evolved into an independent powerhouse, encompassing ventures such as The Indie Post Magazine, Indie Soul Radio, Under The Radar Magazine, Gico Music, NDME TV, Indie Music TV, The CV Indie Film Awards, and All IndieFlix.

With over three decades of hands-on experience, Sedman has established herself as a true multi-hyphenate—recording artist, filmmaker, songwriter, music engineer, producer, director, editor, journalist, publisher, author, and radio host. Her work reflects a rare fusion of creative excellence and entrepreneurial vision, positioning her as a driving force within the global independent entertainment community.

As a recording artist, Gina has written, produced, and recorded more than sixteen albums and an extensive catalogue of singles, the majority released through her own label and publishing company, Gico Music. Since 2006, she has independently written and produced all of her recordings, crafting a signature sound rooted in classic soul, funk, and R&B while pushing the genre forward for modern audiences. Her discography reflects a steady evolution of artistry and independence, culminating in recent critically acclaimed releases such as Valuable People (2024), 1972 (2025), and Said MAN! (2025), all of which have achieved strong international airplay, chart success, and rapid physical sales.

Her latest single, Smile, has made a significant global impact, praised for its heartfelt message and uplifting energy. The track earned placement on leading UK platforms including BBC Radio London, where she was interviewed on the Robert Elms Show and delivered a live acoustic performance of My Destiny, accompanied by her husband, Andrew Sedman, on percussion and Ryan McCaffrey on piano. The performance received widespread praise and further cemented her reputation as a compelling live vocalist. Smile was also named Record of the Week on Solar Radio by DJ Dave Fleming, entered the Solar Radio Sweet Rhythms Chart, and was selected as Winter Pick of the Week on Michael K. Amil’s TeeRex Radio Show in Canada. The track secured playlist placement on Jazz FM, where respected presenters such as Robbie Vincent, Danielle Perry, Simon Phillips, Yolanda Brown, and John Osborne championed her work. Featuring contributions from Grammy Award-winning guitarist Michael J. Calhoun and acclaimed producer Kevin Flournoy, the single exemplifies Sedman’s ability to create music that resonates deeply with audiences seeking authenticity and positivity.

Her music continues to reach audiences on a global scale, with consistent airplay across major DAB, FM, and online stations including BBC London, Mi-Soul Radio, Jazz FM, Solar Radio, 1BTN, Stomp Radio, Starpoint Radio, and numerous international platforms. Her album Valuable People alone generated nearly 200 radio plays across more than 25 stations, reaching an audience exceeding 600,000 listeners, further solidifying her position as a leading voice in contemporary independent soul music.

Continuing her creative momentum, Sedman’s forthcoming album, Who’s Clyde (June 1, 2026), stands as one of her most ambitious and immersive projects to date. Inspired by the classic 1970s soundtrack era, the album is a two-sided soul and funk experience that blends heartfelt storytelling with cinematic groove. Side S celebrates love, life, and gratitude, while Side F delivers a vibrant, character-driven funk sound that serves as the official soundtrack to her upcoming feature film. Entirely written, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Sedman, the project showcases her complete artistic command, with additional contributions from Andrew Sedman on percussion, Robert “Peewee” Hill on bass, and Michiko Hill on keys, all crafted with a fully human, organic approach to music-making.

Closely tied to the album is her upcoming film, Who’s Clyde, a retro-inspired, family-friendly comedy-mystery set in a stylized 1970s world. Written, produced, directed, filmed, and edited by Sedman, the film transforms the music into a visual narrative, blending humour, soul, and cinematic storytelling. The film is set to premiere on June 7, 2026, at The Reading Biscuit Factory in Reading, UK, marking a major milestone in her expanding international film presence and reinforcing her ability to merge music and film into a unified creative vision.

Beyond music, Sedman has made a profound impact in film and television as a self-taught, self-funded filmmaker. She has written, produced, directed, filmed, and edited a wide range of stage plays, web series, and feature films, including Aspire to Inspire, The Unexpected, The Assumptions, The One Year Pact, Acts of Kindness, Rose England, and The Star Connection, along with the UK-based children’s film The Incredible Shrinking Liar (2023). She is also the creative force behind multiple web series, including Billy Jones, Same Difference, The Diary, and Maylene. In total, Sedman has created 17 filmed works across television, film, documentaries, and talk shows, building a diverse and impactful body of work that blends storytelling, music, and visual artistry.

Her influence extends into publishing and journalism as the Head Editor and Publisher of The Indie Post Magazine, a globally distributed entertainment publication available in print and digital formats worldwide. Through her work as a journalist, she has conducted interviews with an extraordinary range of artists and public figures across music, film, television, and business, from globally recognized icons such as Anthony Hamilton, Jennifer Holliday, Karyn White, Melba Moore, Miki Howard, Kenny Lattimore, and Howard Hewitt, to legendary figures including Eddie Levert of The O’Jays, Robert Kool Bell of Kool & The Gang, and Lou Gossett Jr., as well as a wide spectrum of respected independent artists, actors, and creatives. Her ability to bridge mainstream and independent voices has made her platform a vital space for authentic storytelling within the entertainment industry.

A seasoned live performer, Gina has shared stages with major acts and opened for Rose Royce, while also headlining and selling out respected UK venues including The Bear Club, PizzaExpress Live in London, The Stables in Milton Keynes, and Soul Mama London, with an upcoming performance scheduled at PizzaExpress Live Chelsea. Touring extensively across the UK with her husband, Andrew Sedman—who performs percussion and serves as her manager—she continues to captivate audiences with her dynamic stage presence, rich vocal ability, and deeply authentic sound.

Throughout her career, Sedman has earned numerous awards and recognitions, including the BMA Award for Best Gospel Artist, multiple CV Music Awards, and recognition as one of the Top 12 Most Influential Women in the Coachella Valley. Her work continues to resonate globally, supported by consistent radio play, chart success, and collaborations with high-level musicians and producers.
