- BIO
- Born Gilda Betancourt, Gilda's ethnicity is of the Dominican Republic and she is currently a resident in the greater Boston area. She developed her talent as a singer/song writer at the early age of 13.
Inspired by artist such as Anita Baker, Maria Conchita Alonso, Anna Gabriel, Chakakan, Camilo Sesto, Gilda currently released two CD's on iTunes. Her first CD is R&B, titled "Reality Check" which
features the self titled single Reality Check that won her the USA Songwriting Competition, followed by the song "Natural thing" also from the "Reality Check" CD, which was released on the Motion
Picture Sound track "American Desi" and again in the recently released Motion Picture Sound track "American Violet" .
The Pop/Alternative CD on iTunes, titled "Comfortably Confused" showcases another side of her singing and writing skills and creativity capturing vulnerability, lush vocals and attractive melodies.
One of the first Spanish Pop ballads she wrote gave birth to the newly released Bachata hit single "Sin Tu Amor" which she's been performing frequently demonstrating an impressive vocal
performance in a male dominated style of music, where it is rare to hear a strong female interpretation passionately delivered.
The song reminisces on bittersweet moments of the past, of a love not given the chance to grow. Highly talented, Gilda demonstrates strong cross over talent that is sure to sweep the Latin music scene.
Upon the release of "Sin Tu Amor" it has been jumping numbers, racing up on the music charts in recent weeks. A live performance of the song is available for viewing on Youtube under
Gilda Betancovet la fraga.
Adding to her talent Gilda does jingles in Portuguese, Italian and Spanish as well as background vocal arrangements for her own songs and others. She's had the opportunity to work with the Basement
Boys from Baltimore MD, who represented the singer Crystal Waters, and also with Cutfather and Joe in Copenhagen, the producers of the hit song "Return of the Mac". She also sang in the concert
choir with Michael Bolton, Reba McKintire and Celine Dion. Her talent has taken her to Europe, St. Thomas, Hawaii, Florida and around the US. The Soul Café and The Blue Note in N.Y. City
were some of the venues she has showcased her original songs with her band and as a solo artist locally in Boston.
Show dates are posted and updated on www.myspace.com/gildabetancourt, Currently a Latin Pop CD is in the works, featured on that CD is the romantic, guitar accentuated song "Impossible" one
of three songs nominated for the 2009 Music Mp3 awards alongside Miami Rapper Pitbull under the Latin category. A new music video is in the works for the song title "Impossible" to be available for viewing on
youtube in the weeks to come.
