The Selena Experience

As a young Colombian/American girl, Genessa’s musical influences varied from Gwen Stefani to Mariah Carey. It wasn’t until the discovery of Selena Quintanilla did Genessa finally see a bit of herself looking back through the television screen. Her admiration and love of Selena began in the early 90’s and only grew stronger once the Latina Icon was murdered. Selena’s style, stage presence and music then became a religion for young Genessa. The foundation was laid and as the years went by, she built upon her musical style. Genessa has toured the nation as a member of an all-girl pop group named 3rd Faze, she has appeared on American Idol, It's Showtime at the Apollo, fronted many popular New York cover bands, and is featured as background vocalist for UK pop artist, Cheryl Cole's album, "3 Words."
