Gabby Samone

Gabby Samone was born on Thursday the 28th of February 2002 in Baltimore, Maryland. She is American, Black, and a straight woman. Her hair is black and her eyes are brown. As a musician and singer, she has built a career that blends gospel, R&B, and classic soul. Raised in a musically gifted family, she found her voice in the church choir, where gospel harmonies shaped her vocal control and range.

Gabby first broke through with viral reinterpretations of R&B classics. Her rendition of Mariah Carey's "My All" sparked the #MyAllChallenge on TikTok, drawing attention from artists like Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia Barrino, and Mariah Carey herself. That momentum carried her to live and theatrical stages. She opened for Keke Wyatt and Kelly Price, performed at the Apollo Theater with Adam Blackstone, and made her theatrical debut in Dreamgirls. Disney also selected her to perform "Go the Distance" from Hercules.

Her national profile grew with a television debut on The Jennifer Hudson Show and a finalist run on Season 23 of American Idol. In 2025, she performed during NFL Sunday Night Football, and in 2026 she appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Now she is moving into original music, carrying her family and community with her. Her sound honors tradition while pushing forward. She is 24 years old.
