Gabrielle Kennedy

Gabrielle Giusti Kennedy believes her passion for music began the hot August night that her mother, while pregnant with Gabrielle, attended one of Elvis Presley's last live performances. "Elvis gave me the bug. It's all his fault!. He got to me first" says Gabrielle , "I've been highly aware of music for as long as I can remember."

Gabrielle recalls as a child wanting to physically capture as much music as possible. She would stay up late recording TV theme songs on her little cassette recorder & spend hours upon hours listening to the radio.

Gabrielle grew up performing in musical theatre. By the age of 9, she was Annie in "Annie" & Irma Dillsavor in "A Star On Broadway" & continued performing in musical theatre as well as numerous showcases & events over the years.

Gabrielle worked at CBS Radio's KZZO, KYMX, & eventually became Group Promotions Manager over the CBS Radio Sacramento group of stations. This time played a major role in enhancing her knowledge of the music business.

During these years in radio, Gabrielle was inspired meeting so many artists who visited the stations promoting their own music. Gabrielle knew she needed to follow what the desires of her own heart, soul, & spirt had always been. She made one of the most important decisions of her life & quit this very "real job" in the music industry to pursue her own music career.

Thus began the leap to the other side of the business. The side of the creator.

She formed the pop rock band, gabscourt, with her sister Courtney. With all music & lyrics written by the girls themselves, gabscourt arrived onto the pop music seen. They had the honor of recording a body of original tunes with producer Derek "DOA" Allen (Tyrese) and a team of world- class professional musicians.

As the saying goes, one thing definitely leads to another. As the gabs court project gained exposure & reconigition, Gabrielle began both working & writing songs with & for other artists.

She has gone on to sign multiple deals for her work & became CEO of gabs court music, inc.

Gabrielle is currently writing, recording, & assisting in the develop of artists in both California & Nashville.

Gabrielle loves & proudly supports NSAI & is honored to be the Sacramento NSAI Co-Coordinator and looks forward to meeting you.
