Gabriela N (Italian pronunciation: [ˌɡabriˈɛn]) (born Gabriela Ann Xuereb; 18 March 1993) is a Gozitan singer, songwriter, rapper, model and activist.

Early life and career[edit]

Gabriela was born and raised in Xewkija, Gozo, in Malta. From an early age, she was an enthusiast of singing and dancing. She made her debut in 2000 as a child singer at the age of eight with the song I Have a Dream, which is officially sang by the Swedish group ABBA. She started taking part in local festivals in Gozo and other parts of Malta.

Career[edit]

In 2010, Gabriela entered Malta EuroSong for the first time and made it to the Top 50 (Phase 2) with two songs.[1] That same year, she released a single entitled "Where Are You Now"[2] and her debut album Rising Star, with lyrics in both Maltese and English. Gabriela was a supporting act for The Cheeky Girls in early 2011,[citation needed] and later that year she was featured on the Malta to Midem compilation album alongside 17 other Maltese artists.[3]

In 2014, the World Academy of Arts, Literature, and Media chose Gabriela to represent Malta in an international musical project. Gabriela recorded "Walk in Style", a message song dedicated to victims of bullying.[4] Gabriela released another single, "Lie to Me", in late 2016.[5]

Personal life[edit]

Gabriela has an older brother, Ivan (born 1987). She is reportedly related to Monsignor Alfred Xuereb.[citation needed]
