Gia Margaret is an American singer-songwriter and record producer from Chicago, Illinois. She released her debut studio album, There's Always Glimmer, in July 2018. She is currently signed to Orindal Records in the United States and Dalliance Recordings in the UK.
She was trained in classical piano as a child and began pursuing a degree in music before ending both endeavors because they were "creatively limiting". Margaret has had various jobs prior to becoming a musician, including a nanny, book store clerk, and dental assistant. She describes the genre of her music as "sleep rock," and has been compared to artists including Imogen Heap, the Postal Service, Nick Drake, and Broken Social Scene.
In 2019, she toured around the United States with Welsh alternative folk singer-songwriter Novo Amor. In September of that year, she went on her first headlining tour in the UK. Margaret was selected to perform at SXSW 2019, a music festival in Austin, Texas, and was later selected by NPR to be part of the Austin 100. This is a playlist of "a hundred handpicked highlights from among the thousands of acts playing SXSW 2019”.
On April 26, 2023, Margaret announced her third studio album, Romantic Piano, and released the lead single "Hinoki Wood" alongside "Cicadas," another song featured on the album. The album was released on May 26, 2023, with 12 total tracks. Like her previous studio album, all songs were instrumental, with the exception of "City Song".
