The origins of Gina Universal Media trace back to 1996 when Gina Sedman established Gico Music Publishing in the United States to manage and protect her catalogue of original works and publishing interests. Several years later, she launched Gico Music Records as her independent record label, creating a platform through which she could independently release and distribute her own music while maintaining full creative control of her work.
In 2018, Gina Sedman's entertainment ventures were brought together under the umbrella of GNA Universal Media, which began operating publicly as Gina Universal Media in Palm Springs, California. Built on a vision of bringing independent entertainment businesses together under one unified platform, the company was created to encourage collaboration, innovation, and shared growth among independent organizations.
Now headquartered in the United Kingdom, Gina Universal Media continues to be led by founder Gina Sedman, who works alongside her husband and business partner, Andrew Sedman. Together, they oversee the company's operations, strategic growth initiatives, and expanding network of partnerships while remaining committed to the organization's founding principle of "One Vision Under One Roof."
Today, Gina Universal Media serves as a collaborative network where independent media organizations, publishers, broadcasters, entertainment companies, and creative entrepreneurs can work together while maintaining their own identities, brands, and independence. The company believes that independent businesses are stronger when they share opportunities, resources, and a common vision for success.
Through strategic partnerships and industry collaboration, Gina Universal Media continues to build bridges across the entertainment sector while supporting family-friendly media and entertainment initiatives. The company's growing partner network reflects its commitment to cooperation, innovation, and long-term sustainability within the independent entertainment community.
Gico Music Publishing and Gico Music Records remain part of the Gina Universal Media family of brands and continue to serve as the home of Gina Sedman's publishing interests and independent music catalogue.
The Gina Universal Media Partner Directory currently includes NDME TV, The Indie Post Magazine, What Is Hip Magazine, Indie Soul Radio, Under The Radar Magazine, and Gico Music.
Independent family-friendly businesses that share the vision of collaboration, growth, and positive entertainment are invited to explore partnership opportunities with Gina Universal Media and become part of its growing international network.
