She started her singing career when she was in middle school and is planning to continue after high school. Besides singing, Gabrielle is an Allstar Cheerleader. She has been cheering since she was a little girl. Singing is her number one passion, but cheering comes as a close second.
Gabrielle has done a plethora of singing events. In March 2021, she was asked to sing at the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. She sang the National Anthem. The following year, she was asked to sing at the wrestling OVAC.
