Gabby Samone

Gabby Samone's musical journey is one of soulful beginnings, viral moments, and relentless pursuit of her dreams. Raised in a musically gifted family, Gabby discovered her love and genius for music in the gospel harmonies of her Baltimore, MD church choir. Her voice has since drawn inspiration from gospel, R&B, and classic soul to nurture a unique style that blends timeless influences with fresh, modern perspectives, resonating with an entirely new generation of consumers and music lovers.

Defined as one of the best new vocalists of her generation, the Baltimore native became a viral sensation reimagining R&B classics from her musical muses—including her rendition of Mariah Carey’s “My All,” which took TikTok by storm during the #MyAllChallenge. Her tributes and covers have captured the ear and attention of music and entertainment giants like Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia Barrino, J. Cole, Jhene Aiko, Missy Elliott, Brandy, SWV, XSCAPE, and Mariah Carey herself.

As a rising talent, Gabby has opened for R&B legends Keke Wyatt and Kelly Price; landed a role in her first major production, “Dreamgirls”; and performed at the historic Apollo Theater alongside musician and musical director Adam Blackstone. She was also tapped by Disney to recreate and perform “Go the Distance” from the 1997 Disney classic film, “Hercules.”

With every note, Gabby carries the voices of her family, her community, and her generation, bringing them to life on global stages. Following her TV debut on The Jennifer Hudson Show and a standout run as a finalist on Season 23 of American Idol, Gabby is poised to shine as a voice for her generation with fresh original music that moves and inspires.
