Early life and career[edit]
 |
Gabriela was born and raised in Xewkija, Gozo to Zachary and Josephine (née Grima) Xuereb. From an early age, she showed interest in singing and dancing. She made her debut in 2000 as a child singer at the age of eight with the song I Have a Dream, which is officially sung by the Swedish group ABBA. She started taking part in local festivals in Gozo and also in Malta.
Career[edit]
In 2010, Gabriela entered Malta EuroSong for the first time and made it to the Top 50 (Phase 2) with two songs.[1] That same year, she released a single entitled "Where Are You Now"[2] and her debut album Rising Star, with lyrics in both Maltese and English. Gabriela was a supporting act for The Cheeky Girls in early 2011,[citation needed] and later that year she was featured on the Malta to Midem compilation album alongside 17 other Maltese artists.[3]
In 2014, the World Academy of Arts, Literature, and Media chose Gabriela to represent Malta in an international musical project. Gabriela recorded "Walk in Style", a message song dedicated to victims of bullying.[4] Gabriela released another single, "Lie to Me", in late 2016.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Gabriela has one older brother, Ivan (born 1987). She is reportedly related to Monsignor Alfred Xuereb.[citation needed]
