About Me

Sunset from my home in Ibiza
.. ..
.. .. ....
Wheel Inside a Wheel - Mary Gauthier - One of my idols a pure songwriting genius
.. .. ....
Newly launched artist Ryan Bingham- Southside Of Heaven, serious talent and the looks to go with it!! .. ..br> My Name is Gaby, born and bred in London, although I have spent my whole life between London and Ibiza.
I am blessed to be in a position where I have been able to see great live acts come in an perform on the Bob Harris show joining the Bob Harris Team on his Saturday night slot on radio 2 where I have been for around 2 years.
I have done a bit of band management, done some freelance work for radio 2 working as assistent to head of music on radio 2 Jeff Smith, and have been fortunate to learn a bit about radio production. I have done my degree in Music Industry Management and Marketing, essentially a music bus degree taking me through all aspects of the industry from PR, to artist management, record company management, publishing, international entertainment management as well as learning the basics of contract and intellectual property law, and marketing.
My aim is to bring great acts to public attention. I am generally very open minded with regards to music and am willing to listen to most things, however death metal and hardcore house i draw the line.
I would love to eventually escape from hectic London and move to laid back Barcelona, and do something musical there. However on analysing the industry there at the moment I think it's best I wait a few years as it seems to be at least 5 years behind the UK market.
I take pride in my record collection which is growing by the second and whilst I am reasonably open minded I do have a passion for rock, country and blues music. I have a major problem which is CD buying. I am a compulsive CD buyer, girls seem to have problems generally with buying clothes for me it's CD's. I can't go near a record shop as I get the urge to buy.
