She has toured Japan, the U.S., the Grand Cayman Islands and Aruba and was an original member of the all female Latina group “Ellas”.

Roché has performed at casinos in both Las Vegas and Atlantic City, on Good Morning America and Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and alongside renowned artists such as McCoy Tyner and Gerald Veasley. Gina’s debut CD, Dawning of a New Way (with Romero Lubambo on guitar) continues to receive rave reviews within the jazz community. Gina is currently working on her second CD, to be released later this year.
