Born in Belgium in 1980, Gabrielle
Ghray grew up in a musical
environment and was coached by many of the leading Belgian and
French vocal teachers. Gabrielle became a household name in
France when in 2003 she reached the final of French "Pop Idol",
and went on to shoot a video, record a single and an album with
BMG France that went double gold. During the subsequent tour she
sang to audiences of up to 50,000. At the same time, Gabrielle
completed her masters degree in Economics at the University of
Liege. Gabrielle is also a songwriter and was selected by the
Cultural Department of Belgium for a composition project which
led to the release of a further CD. In 2005, she stood in for
the pop star Lara Fabian on her international tour. In addition
to this, she sang backing vocals in many bands (No Limit,
Jean-Louis Daulne, Morgane and other leading French pop
