16-year-old artist Gina De Bosschère—aka GinaDeBoss—may be young, but she’s already had an impressive multi-hyphenate career, and this summer kicks off a whole new era for the star.
The French and Korean singer-songwriter, dancer and model had quite the multicultural upbringing, living in France, Korea, India and Canada before settling down in the U.S. Fluent in Korean and English and proficient in French, Gina actually started songwriting when she was just 11 years old, soon independently releasing three original songs and attracting the attention of legendary K-pop label JYP Entertainment.

From there, she underwent strict training in South Korea under JYP for almost two years before she was selected to compete in the reality survival series A2K, advancing through to the finale. She left JYP at 14 to expand her horizons and experiment with different genres, falling in love with the dance-pop sound she’s cultivated today. Gina turns 17 next month, and she’s wasting no time kickstarting the next step of her career.

The track is honest yet vibrant, bathed in futuristic synth sounds, as she sings about someone so irresistible they just might make her forget about the hurt she’s suffered in the past. They’re so alluring that, against her better judgment, she’s ready to jump into a situation that’ll probably wind up with her getting hurt all over again.

And that’s not all that Gina is up to this season. Next month, she’ll also be competing at Miss California Teen USA as Miss Ventura County Teen USA. It’s a busy time for this rising star, and she’s only getting started.
