Linda Georgina (Gina) Haley (born April 23, 1975 in Mexico) is an American singer-songwriter.
Haley is the youngest child of rock and roll pioneer Bill Haley from his marriage to his last wife Martha; she was only five years old when her father died in 1981.
She is classically trained on piano and an accomplished self-taught guitarist and songwriter. During the mid 1990's she worked closely with producer Michael Sembello, recording and arranging tracks which appeared in television and movies. She sang with a band called The Bridge and later formed her own group, the Gina Haley Band. Her first self-titled album was released by Columbia Records in Japan in 1999, and she continues to work in the musical field in the Los Angeles area.
On July 6, 2005, she performed with her father's old band, The Comets at the Viper Room in West Hollywood as part of 50th anniversary celebrations of her father's famous song "Rock Around the Clock" reaching the No. 1 position on American sales charts, as well as what would have been Bill Haley's 80th birthday.
