"Starting at the age of eleven, Gabi has only four songs she is willing to share with us for the moment. From the same neck of the woods as myself I feel qualified to say that us West Londoners are not usually very good at flaunting our inner thoughts to the world (as music inherently does). We are far too afraid that our friends might start to shun us in the aisles of Waitrose and stop inviting us to their organic, free-range, locally sourced dinner parties and then we’d never get to eat their delicious quinoa and pearl barley risotto ever again. Not wanting to presume too much, Gabi’s minimal online music output probably has something to do with her very private and guarded nature. She explained how all the songs available to hear on her webpage are older and therefore it’s easier to allow the world to hear them. Her newer compositions are presently stuck in limbo, still tied to Gabi’s emotions. However, Gabi does not come from West London’s middle class stock, her Brazillian parents have influenced the music she listened to growing up and now she finds that there is a constant percussion in her music that resembles the background noise of carnivals and street parties. Her music trajectory thus far is a veritable who’s who of VIPs; she was classically trained by Daniel Craig’s ex-wife while still at school, her music has been produced by Simon Ellis (S-Club fame) and Dario Dendi (sound engineer for Stereophonics, Franz Ferdinand, Sugababes), and her professional photos were taken by Christopher Pillitz. Her dad however, remains the most important person in her music, acting as her manager and protector. Not that she needs much protection, Gabi has a very clear mind of what she wants from her music and won’t put her stamp on something she’s not happy with. It took her a long time to come round to making the video to the demo ‘Lullaby’ with a boyfriend figure rather than her sister (for whom the song was written). That said, she knows that she must change as the music industry does and knows that what she “voms out” changes with whatever she is listening to at the time anyway, “there is a danger to getting too comfortable”. I find it hard to believe she could ever get too comfortable. She was part of the famous St Andrews acapella group Hummingbirds, last year and this year she achieved the scholarship for the St Andrews chorus, which takes up much of her time. Not that that stops her. She is also part of a musical group MadJack who perform around town with 2 guitars and a fiddle. However, her own music is singer/songwriter style with romantic ballads and vocals that steal the stage." - Bon Vivant, Owl Eyes Magazine
