Gigi Perez, a 25-year-old musician, reflects on life and loss as she prepares to release her debut album. Her music, particularly the recent LP "At the Beach, in Every Life," serves as a tribute to her sister Celene, who passed away unexpectedly in 2020. Despite her youth, Perez expresses a deep awareness of mortality, describing her artistic journey as navigating grief rather than seeking celebration, which resonates with many listeners who have experienced similar emotions. Her viral success on platforms like TikTok has brought her both acclaim and the challenge of sustained artistic growth.
"When you’re a kid, music is verbalizing things you don’t know how to say; you don’t have the vocabulary to understand. You’re discovering how you feel in real time, Perez said."
"I feel like I'm on a conveyor belt that's going to this inevitable end," she said, expressing a profound sense of mortality and reflection that belies her young age.
