Children's singer/songwriter, Gaia, presents animated performances singing and signing songs with America Sign Language. Gaia's unique style utilizes total communication with color, movement, narratives, songs and sign language engaging everyone, whether hearing or deaf, to participate with her in a celebration of diversity, singing, dancing and signing along.

Gaia and her composer/producer husband, Ed Tossing, encourage children to accept and respect each other despite differences, and to have confidence in themselves.

Gaia and Ed have won 17 prestigious awards for their cassettes, CDs, books, cassettes, DVDs, and videos, including two Emmy Awards for music and on-camera performance.

Gaia frequently teams up with Jonalee Folerzynski "Jonnie". Jonnie is a talented actress and director in her own right, which is quite an achievement considering she is deaf.

Gaia presents keynotes and workshops and performs in concerts and on national TV.
