Gabriela began studying guitar and singing at the local conservatory of music when she was 5. By 15, she was performing at area colleges and street fairs. By 19 she was the lead singer in the soft-rock band. At 21 the band was discovered by Marcelo Cutillo, one of Argentina's foremost producers. It wasn't long before Gabriela began co-hosting Marcelo's radio program, commenting on the current music scene and performing her original material.

In 2001, Gabriela moved to Los Angeles to further explore and develop her music while continuing to write and record her songs in Spanish and English.
