A true diamond in the rough, Gizelle de Guzman hails from the tiny Albertan town of Cremona. Fed on a steady diet of country music and beef jerky, Gizelle fell in love with Miranda Lambert’s storytelling, Carrie Underwood’s glamour and poise, and The Dixie Chicks humour and candour. Although she still likes beef jerky and hometown ho’ downs, Gizelle has been carving out her own style of Country on the East Coast in recent years by collaborating with local artists and touring from Nova Scotia to Ontario. Gizelle has been honing her skills as a heartfelt songwriter and engaging live performer and is known for using authentic lyrics while presenting her dynamic vocals in her music. Seeing her live, she will captivate you from a range of slow acoustics to catchy, sing-along barn tunes
