About Me |
|
| Acclaimed New York City recording artist Gabrielle, self released her second studio album,“wide” at the end of 2005, a collection of original lyric driven songs surrounded by an eclectic mix of world beats and fresh rhythmic textures with intoxicating hints of folk, rock and blues. Since WIDE was sent off into the great big world Gabrielle won the bronze in the Festival International song writing contest for best original pop song, “Stay” took an honorable mention in the 2006 Billboard songwriting contest & “Neptune” received an honorable mention in the Positive Pop Song contest. She has had songs featured on FX’s starved, and A&E’s DOG the Bounty Hunter. She was a featured artist at the Millennium Music Conference, the Dewey Beach Music Festival, Oswego Music Festival, among others. “She Smiles” was placed on the international release of “Females on Fire II”, “Tell Me” was placed as a featured track on the international release of “Protest Songs for a Better World”, and she contributed an original interpretation of an October Project song for “Covered” which was released in 2007. Gabrielle’s songs reflect her unique voice and individuality as well as the richness of early influences ranging from Joni Mitchell, Delta Blues & Bob Dylan. A powerful vocalist as well as a songwriter, Gabrielle began sparkling to audience attention in 1996 when she was asked to front the NYC popular blues cover-band, Blooze Junction, which featured a 7-piece backup band and a large NYC following. In 1998 she started her own original music project and all the pieces came together. That year, her song “Line of Your Leg” (dreamtown) won the Spree National Songwriting Contest and “Threw It All Away” (dreamtown) took an honorable mention in the Great American Songwriting Contest. In 2000, she self-produced her debut release “dreamtown” which received critical acclaim and was voted the 3rd best unsigned CD of the year by Music Connection Magazine. Gabrielle toured the east coast playing in clubs, colleges and music festivals. She was a featured artist at the 2001 Bethlehem New Musik Festival, the National Academy of Popular Music’s 38th Songwriter’s Hall of Fame showcase and a featured solo performer at the 2001 Nashville New Music Conference (among others). 2002 brought the release of a solo live EP “Live and On Her Own” which found itself on the airwaves of acoustic music shows, college radio, NPR as well as several internet radio stations. Gabrielle started experimenting with new musicians and formed a trio with Nicholas D’Amato (Poppa Chubby, Spiraling) on bass and Clancy (Billy Porter, Danielia Cotton) on drumcussion. With these new musician’s backing her up a new sound evolved along with a songwriting surge. Clancy, Nick and Gabrielle hit the studio in June of 2004 and “WIDE” was born, which has been eliciting comparisons to Peter Gabriel and Patty Griffin drawing comment for its deep emotional authenticity and strikingly beautiful musical arrangements. Like one of her main influences, Joni Mitchell, Gabrielle is a visual artist, and has alternated her exploration of music with painting and sculpture. She continues to bridge the worlds of music and visual arts, and has been acknowledged not only for her fine arts, but also for her extraordinary CD packaging for other indie musical artists. |
