Gabz

Singer songwriter, Series 7, 2013 There aren’t many 14-year-olds who can say they’ve had their song hit the top 10 in the UK.

But Gabrielle Gardiner, known as Gabz and now 19, can. She was likened to a “mini Alicia Keys” and came seventh.

“It has changed my life,” she says. She is studying vocals and songwriting but also found herself on the opposite side of the buzzer – as one of 100 judges on the BBC’s All Together Now this year, hosted by Geri Horner and comedian Rob Beckett. Gabz, of Stevenage, Herts, says: “I could relate to people on the other side.” Find Gabz at www.gabzofficial.com
