Gina Zavalis' song, "In Your Eyes" spent almost two weeks at #1 on the Indieheaven Fan Faves Top 50 Chart! Thanks for all your support and votes!
Check out Gina Zavalis on Power Praise Radio. "In Your Eyes" kicks off Section 5 of the 1/21/09 show. www.indieheaven.com/powerpraiseradio
Gina is also being played on KAJC FM 90.1 in Salem, OR, on internet radio stations www.onejesus.com and on KBCU SATURDAY NIGHTS (Kansas)...tune in online at http://www.bethelks.edu/kbcu
I am working on an album and want to share the first song with you, "In Your Eyes", written by myself and Nashville Producer Doug Beiden.
"In Your Eyes" is a prayer and a reflection of how lucky we are to be loved by a God who always holds us in His forgiving eyes. No matter how much we screw up, God will always see us through if we allow Him. I am in constant awe of how forgiving God is and how present He is when we choose to open up our hearts to Him. He is always forgiving, always loving and always accepting of who we are.
"What a voice...wow...that's about the best we heard all year!"
~Tom Seaver commenting on Gina singing the National Anthem at Yankee Stadium for the New York Yankees at a special televised event.
I've been singing for as long as I can remember. A native New Yorker, I started singing at the age of three and started singing professionally at the age of ten. In addition to studying voice privately, I continued my studies at Fordham University in New York City, where I earned a BA in Theatre with a concentration in Musical Theatre. Upon graduation, I continued to work as a Singer/Actress in many productions in New York City, Regional Theatre, National Tours as well as voiceovers and session work. Little did I know God had other plans for me.
When I became ill a few years ago, my hectic routine as a performer came to a halt and all that time on my hands made me evaluate my life. Prayer is powerful and has given me so much clarity and direction in my life, so I prayed - a lot! My faith in Jesus is everything to me. My body was healing and at the time I thought, if God could bring me out of an illness then He probably has plans for me here on earth. Through my life's events, God has led me here. It seems that whenever I attempt to turn around, God always leads me back to this. I figure I'd better pay attention and sing my heart out - for Him instead of for myself.
I encourage you to get quiet, listen closely and let go. We are not perfect, but we do have the ability to open our hearts and listen to what God has in store for us.
"The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me" - Psalm 138:8

Hi Gina!
Thanx for the encouraging words. It seems like everything has been against my music for the last while, not the least of which was having a lightning strike which knocked out our computer and put me "out of business"! But I trust that God gave me these songs for a reason, so I will keep on keeping on! God bless you and yours!

Hi Gina,
Hi Gina, I tried the player on both your page and mine and they both seemed to work for me, not sure what the issue might be.
I see battlezone blog is off, just some info - it was dreamed to be an opener, from dark to a bit of fog and a light show. Hopefully it works the next time you're over. And you are so welcome and the remarks are deserved.
