Gia's music speaks to self-empowerment - a journey she knows well. Her first two heartfelt singles, "Hold Me Again" and "Never Lonely" hit #4 and #3 on iTunes singer/songwriter charts. Her songs feature a smooth, Latin jazz rhythm and vibe that is influenced by a decade of living part-time in Mexico. On her forthcoming album, she’s co-written a number of songs with hit makers and recently won first place in the SANTA BARBARA CREATIVE EDUCATION/MUSIC EVENTS singer/songwriter contest. A New Zealander by birth, Gia resides in Santa Barbara, California performing her original material as well as American Jazz Standards.

Cal Morris and Daniel Morris- The Violin Twins
Two of SB Music Events greatest supporters! Almost a decade ago Joseph Natale, Founder & Director of D'Arezzo's Santa Barbara Creative Education met both Cal and Daniel in random, separate occassions, not knowing they were related... a crazy and spectacular story worth hearing! When they all figured it out, both Daniel and Cal have played major concerts for SB Music Events, helping to raise funds for the Youth Scholarship Fund! Check out both incredibly talented artists as well as contact them for bookings! Keep an eye out for cameo appearances here in Santa Barbara on our Events Board. Daniel Morris has also produced 3 of Joseph Natale's own songs including one he wrote at 8 years old for his mother.

Eric Lumiere has a longstanding career as a versitile songwriter singer crossing as many music genres as any artist who ever lived! In 2018, Joseph Natale was watching a movie while flying to Canada on a business trip. Joseph's ears perked up when he heard this incredible voice and deeply touching songs in the background. He looked up the artist and downloaded the Artist's album. Soon after he was pinged with a request to complete a survey on why he chose the music. Joseph wrote a very complimentary review and was contacted by Eric who was moved by the review. From that point on a friendship and a bond was developed between one another. Eric has been a regular featured artist at several of the SB Music Event fundraiser concerts. Eric also guided the SB Creative Education Music Class in the creation of a music video produced by the class for one of Eric's most beautiful songs called GIANTS. See the links below to Eric's website and the GIANTS Music Video. Eric will continue to be a regular artist so keep your eyes out for the Event Schedule!
Marcelo (Ache) Rey contacted Joseph Natale to perform his Tango Music & Dance at Club Natale Bay Villas Resort in the Caribbean owned and operated years ago by Natale. Ache started his career at 8 years old, born in Argentina as the youngest Tango Artist. A descendent of the founders of Tango, Ache's career has grown into an international performer. Rey and Natale who have become close friends recently hosted an incredible performance fund raiser in Santa Barbara. This incredible Tango Spectacular will return again in the future!
