- About Me:
- Call her a true artist; classic yet contemporary, southern yet chic. Categorize her sound as her own; a unique blend of deeply spiritual, powerfully moving, filled with love brand of "Soul-Jazz". Engaging at first glance, captivating from the first note to the last her performances are absolutely riveting! She's a skillful vocalist and superb songwriter...she is Gabbie McGee
Gabbie's life song is one of hope, faith and triumph. Having taken a few classes from the "old school", her style and vocals are reminiscent of the sounds and spirits of great vocalists like Sarah Vaughn, Dianne Reeves, and Randy Crawford while remaining saturated with a flavor that is exclusively & undeniably Gabbie!
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 jazz, soul and a hint of the blues to draw listeners into her world of sunshine and colors. This self proclaimed "Country Gal" is what the industry calls the total package. With her debut independent release "Certified Soul", Gabbie established herself as a "self contained" artist; setting a table full of musical delights that have been certified, stamped, and approved by listeners worldwide as "quality" music.
- Musical Background & Experience:
- A proud graduate of the historic Jackson State University (2001), Gabbie's resume boasts many accomplishments in music and beyond! Gabbie's deep musical roots in gospel, jazz and the blues enable her to "standout" as a singer, songwriter and pianist; but it is her striking smile and warm personality that lead her to the "spotlight" of beauty competitions. The former Miss Metro Jackson, Miss Capitol City Classic(2000), Miss Omega Psi Phi (2000 YE Chapter), and Miss Black Atlanta (2002) showcased her rich mezzo-soprano vocals and mesmerizing stage presence as a fierce competitor and committed queen with a platform to preserve and promote the arts for the enrichment of America's youth. Even though she has long retired her crown(s), she continues to commit herself to the cause of "preserving the arts". As a wife and mother of 3 year old twins, Gabbie is more than aware of the effect music can have on the shaping of young minds.
In the summer of 2007, she began her quest to "educate & entertain" by organizing a live concert series that introduces jazz to children ages 2 to 6 with her Early Childhood Development Music Program "Live Music for Little Ears". “Live Music for Little Ears” is a fun and interactive way for little ones to experience the joy of jazz with catchy, colorful- kid friendly songs complete with an easy to understand “mini music lesson”.
“ Ms. Gabbie has a great voice and she works very well with the children. The songs were lively and the colorful props she used were eye catching and kept the children engaged. We look forward to her concerts at our center every summer. Personally, I hope Ms. Gabbie will make a children’s CD so that the children and I can sing along with her all year long.”
– DeShone Hall, Lead Teacher, Daystar Christian Academy, College Park, GA
To Gabbie, the world is a stage; her talents have been witnessed during Off-Broadway musicals like "Jelly's Last Jam", The Showtime at the Apollo Summer Tour 2001 and numerous charity events. 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. In September 2009, Gabbie was the featured entertainment for the NAACP Annual Fund raising Gala. Very recently, Gabbie toured Southeast Asia ,Singapore as the featured vocalist for the esteemed Harry's International Jazz Bar .
