Gia DeSantis grew up in the music and television industries, and is a veteran television producer, writer and director, and former on-air personality at The World Famous KROQ in Los Angeles. She spent years working as a marketing and promotion executive at Capitol Records and Warner Bros. Records, and owned her own independent marketing company whose clients included Sony, Dreamworks, Disney, Universal, as well as management companies for major label and indie recording artists.
After taking a break from the music industry, Gia became the Director of Development for a nationally recognized private school where, during her time working on special events and fundraising, she was integral in raising over $1M dollars for scholarship programs.
As a woman whose life was spent in and around the entertainment business, working with budgets, rock stars, executives and private school parents, she can navigate through the creative world with skills that aren't just learned by reading books or watching from the sidelines. Sitting down to interview musicians from every genre of music on live television each day, navigating the country for conferences as an attendee or panelist, gently urging programmers and writers to support creative endeavors and sitting on the Board of Directors for a few non-profits is no small feat.
Gia is currently the programmer and host of Cocktails in the Kiddie Pool with Gia DeSantis on Indie1031.com, is producing and hosting television special for KDOC Los Angeles, marking the 25th Anniversary of "Request Video," and is co-founder of Karyn + Gia, a creative team of women who counsel other professionals on how to cultivate their own experiences into successful businesses.
