Gigi
Gigi Decker has been playing piano since 1976, and accompanying soloists and ensembles since 1981. Her favorite pieces to play are usually jazz or gospel style, especially if someone has taken a classical song and added a jazz or gospel flair to it!
She met Irene in 1994, when their oldest boys were still small enough to be enrolled in ECFE classes together. Upon hearing Irene's lovely voice, she decided she needed to find a way to accompany her....and Moms Who Cook was born!
No piano? No problem! As long as there is electricity available, a nice electronic keyboard (that can sound like a piano, harp, guitar, entire orchestra, brass ensemble, etc.) can be brought to your event to provide music.
Gigi also has a musical family; her husband is a fantastic drummer, and all of her children (3, not including the dog) play musical instruments of some sort. Gigi is the proud owner of her own business, www.asensitivetouch.com, which specializes in medically oriented massage therapy. Gigi can be reached on her cell/business line at 651-983-6954.
