Inspired by the richness of southern culture, Gabbie's song is a song of hope, faith and triumph. Its absolutely, obvious that this young lady has taken a few classes from the old school. To watch her interact with an audience takes you back to those unrehearsed interpersonal jam sessions made famous by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. With her debut independent release "Certified Soul", Gabbie brings to the table an impressive musical collection that has been certified, stamped, and approved by listeners as "quality" music. Songs like "Sunshine & Colors" and "Somethin' So... " echo beautiful melodies that ooze warm jazz tones and textures. With perfect pitch and control she breaths new life into any musical environment presenting herself with confidence, style and grace.
Born and raised in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, (Greenville, MS) Gabbie McGee is a singer by design. With a voice that can rage like an angry storm, or flow as soft as a mellow stream; Gabbie uses a creative concoction of blues, jazz, and soul to draw listeners into her world of sunshine and colors. This self proclaimed "Country Gal" is what the industry calls the total package. A proud graduate of the historic Jackson State University, Gabbies resume boasts musical accomplishments that far exceed her 26 years of life. She began her journey at the age of 4 harmonizing with her Grandfather Charlie as he would sing hymns on the front porch during lazy summer evenings. It is because of those impromptu vocal lessons that Gabbie stands today as a young singer, songwriter and pianist who is no stranger to the intricate creative process of developing good music for the soul.
The former Miss Black Atlanta (2002) has honed her craft for years showcasing her amazing stage presence during Miss America Preliminary Pageants, Off-Broadway musicals, The Showtime at the Apollo Summer Tour 2001 and numerous charitable functions. In September of 2007, Gabbie was personally selected by Congressman Bennie G. Thompson as the featured entertainment for the 2007 Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. She was also featured during an episode of TBS Storyline as a "Community Gem" along with Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank. Very recently, Gabbie toured Southeast Asia and Singapore as the featured vocalist for the esteemed Harry's International Jazz Bar.
Embodied with a giving spirit and a burning desire to bring back the "beauty" of music, Gabbie prides herself in creating music that captivates listeners with sincerity, motivating messages and endless grooves. She has the God given ability to tap into the very essence of life and human emotion by singing the pains, joys, hopes and dreams we all share as a common bond.
