GENA - short for “God Energy, Naturally Amazing” is a fresh, thrilling collaboration between neo-soul singer Liv.e and veteran drummer/producer Karriem Riggins, launched in 2025. The duo melds Liv.e’s fluid, genre-defying vision with Riggins’ deep roots in jazz, hip-hop and soulful percussion, creating music that feels both intimately human and beautifully expansive. Their debut single “CIRCLESZ” arrives as a moody, soulful soundscape: warm rhythms, smoky vocals and subtle jazz-inflected grooves combine to evoke longing, intimacy and creative synergy.
On stage and in their recordings, GENA bring a sense of improvisation, playfulness and sonic warmth, a soft-spoken yet electric energy. Their sound teases the boundaries between R&B, jazz, soul and experimental soundscapes, offering something for listeners who appreciate subtlety, depth and musical exploration. With this collaboration, Liv.e and Karriem Riggins show how two distinct artistic worlds can combine to form something alluringly new, soulful and deeply creative. GENA stand as a promising new voice in contemporary music, ready to appeal to anyone who loves rich grooves, thoughtful lyrics and emotional resonance.
