GENA is the electrifying collaboration between genre-defying vocalist Liv.e and legendary producer, drummer, and composer Karriem Riggins. Bridging soulful experimentation with deep-rooted rhythmic mastery, the duo crafts a sound that feels both otherworldly and grounded in tradition. Liv.e—known for her fearless songwriting and fluid blend of R&B, jazz, and left-field soul—brings a raw, shape-shifting vocal presence to GENA's sonic landscape. Riggins, whose résumé spans collaborations with icons across jazz and hip-hop, anchors the project with textured drums, warm analog tones, and an instinctive musicality honed over decades. Together as GENA, the pair explore the space between improvisation and intention—melding live instrumentation with immersive production to create music that pulses with spontaneity and depth. Their performances feel intimate yet expansive, balancing groove-heavy foundations with atmospheric nuance. GENA isn't just a collaboration—it's a conversation between generations, genres, and creative spirits.
