In 2009, she was announced as the National winner of the Young Bloods Radio Competition for Nova.
Songwriter, lead vocalist, and piano player in her band the Germein Sisters, Georgia and her sisters Clara (drums, guitar, backing vocals) & Ella (electric cello, bass guitar, backing vocals) have showcased at many festivals, including Indie Week Toronto (Canada), Easterfest Toowoomba (QLD), Kangaroo Island Surf Music Festival Eskimo Joe (SA), Tunarama Festival (SA), Adelaide Fringe Festival [Garden of Unearthly Delights, Spiegeltent] (SA), Adelaide Fuse Festival (SA), Sea & Vines Festival (SA), Fleurieu Folk Festival (SA), Natuzzi Food/Wine/Music Festival (SA), Wood & Wine Festival (SA), Crush Festival (SA), Channel 9 Young Achievers Awards (SA), Australian of the Year Awards (SA), University of SA (SA), and the Clare Valley Wine Festival (SA).

In 2013, The Germein Sisters released their debut band album "Because You Breathe", which was recorded in Ireland with the producer of The Corrs and Sinead O'Connor, featuring Sharon Corr from The Corrs. They were also asked to support Northern-Irish Singer songwriter Brian Kennedy on his 2013 Australian Tour.
The Germein Sisters made an attempt to represent Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with Alphorn-Trio Fröschental with their song, "Sunshine". However, they failed to qualify to the expert check of the selection.
Take My Hand
Georgia released her debut album, Take My Hand, in late 2010. Songs from this album have been played in stores across Australia such as David Jones, Peter Alexander, Colorado, and IKEA. ABC's Digital Music playlist also features Georgia's songs. Take My Hand is distributed by MGM nationally and internationally.
"Because You Breathe"
Recorded in Dublin with producer Billy Farrell (The Corrs, Brian Kennedy et al.), and assisted by Jealoustown Studio's Stuart Gray (Sinead O'Connor), this album indeed showcases their depth of talent.
Georgia, lead vocalist, pianist and guitarist is a songwriter with a passion whose award-winning music reflects her commitment to the underprivileged and the excluded. Clara, on drums and guitar, and Ella on bass, electric cello and synthesizer weave a rich musical tapestry around Georgia’s intricate melodies; and topped off with their beautiful sibling harmonies, the girls have captured the imagination of critics everywhere:
Irish sensation Brian Kennedy (The Voice, Eurovision) heard "Because You Breathe" when he was in the studio in Dublin with Billy Farrell earlier this year, and was blown away and didn’t hesitate in inviting the Germein Sisters to perform with him on his upcoming Australian Tour in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne
"Because You Breathe" will be available online and in stores from 6 September 2013.
