As the CEO, founder, owner, and president of GNA Universal Media, she leads a multi-platform company spanning music, film, television, publishing, and broadcasting. Her organization includes The Indie Post Magazine, Indie Soul Radio, Under the Radar Magazine, Gico Music, NDME TV, Indie Music TV, the CV Indie Film Awards, and All IndieFlix.
With more than three decades of experience, Sedman has established herself as a multi-hyphenate recording artist, filmmaker, songwriter, music engineer, producer, director, editor, journalist, publisher, author, and radio host. Her work blends creative excellence with entrepreneurial vision, making her a leading figure within the independent entertainment community.
As a recording artist, she has written, produced, and recorded more than sixteen albums and an extensive catalog of singles, most released through her label and publishing company, Gico Music. Since 2006, she has independently created all of her recordings, developing a signature sound rooted in classic soul, funk, and R&B. Her recent releases - Valuable People (2024), 1972 (2025), and Said MAN! (2025) - achieved strong international airplay, chart success, and rapid physical sales.
Her single Smile gained major global attention, earning support from BBC Radio London, where she performed live on the Robert Elms Show. The track was named Record of the Week on Solar Radio, entered the Solar Radio Sweet Rhythms Chart, and was selected as Winter Pick of the Week on TeeRex Radio in Canada. It also received playlist support from Jazz FM presenters including Robbie Vincent, Danielle Perry, Simon Phillips, Yolanda Brown, and John Osborne. The single features contributions from Grammy Award-winning guitarist Michael J. Calhoun and producer Kevin Flournoy.
Sedman’s forthcoming album Who’s Clyde (June 1, 2026) is one of her most ambitious projects, inspired by the classic 1970s soundtrack era. Entirely written, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Sedman, the album features additional performances by Andrew Sedman on percussion, Robert "Peewee" Hill on bass, and Michiko Hill on keys.
Closely connected to the album is her upcoming feature film Who’s Clyde, a retro, family-friendly comedy-mystery set in a stylized 1970s world. Sedman wrote, produced, directed, filmed, and edited the project, transforming the music into a visual narrative. The film will premiere on 7 June 2026 at The Reading Biscuit Factory in the United Kingdom.
