It is the strength of the voice and the charge to each word that draws them to a halt. “Geri X is a poet, rebel, and a singer with a voice that is demanding to be heard. She carries the intensity of a Mike Tyson punch with the serene beauty of one of the best female vocalists of this era” (L.A. Post)

She has received countless accolades for her work, Geri X is voted "THE BEST OF INDIE 2011" musician in a European edition of Rolling Stone Magazine in July. This is a remarkable and well deserved mark of distinction for the Tampa Bay resident, who was previously named Best Singer-Songwriter by Creative Loafing two years in a row.
