Gia Woods

Artist

Gia Woods (born May 22, 1996) is a Los Angeles-based pop musician. Woods grew up in a traditional Persian household in Los Angeles. Her father owned a popular Persian restaurant, and her mother was a stay-at-home mom who also handled the business side of the restaurant.

Woods was scouted by her first manager in her senior year of high school from a choir performance. As a result, she pursued music full time immediately after graduating, rather than going into dentistry as she had planned.

Woods debuted in 2015 with the song “Only A Girl,” which describes her first same-sex relationship. Woods came out as a lesbian to her family through the song. The accompanying music video has over 10 million hits on YouTube.

Woods released her debut EP Cut Season on October 9, 2020. The album was influenced by the lack of support Woods received from friends after her experience leaving a four-year relationship and her father’s passing.
