Even before Gabi got signed to RCA Records when she was only 14 years old, she always knew she was meant for something great. Unlike most celebrities who crave so much for fame and the paparazzi, Gabriella Wilson is quite the opposite; she hid her true identity from the public at the start of her career as she did not want the public to judge her for her looks, her age, what she wears or who she goes out with. Instead, she preferred people knowing her for her music.
Gabi who goes by the stage name H.E.R. is a fast-rising star in the music industry and her efforts in recent years got capped with five Grammy Awards nominations, which allows her to rub shoulders with the elites in the industry when the award ceremony takes place on the 10th of February this year.

She draws her inspiration as a singer from her father who used to be part of a local band and her idol .
Growing up, Gabi was straight forward about her passion for music and she got the support of her parents to pursue her dream of making an impact in the world through her voice as a singer. She started singing at a very young age and when she was 12 years old, she was hosted on Today Show, where she played the piano for Alicia Keys.
