After years of dazzling audiences with his radiant personality and phenomenal voice—a journey that’s included turning out multiple platinum-selling hits\, achieving global acclaim as a captivating live performer\, and emerging as an undeniable fixture on the pop-culture scene—the Miami-born singer/songwriter experienced a major personal transformation that radically altered his identity as an artist.

I believe in being bold in my vulnerability and speaking the truth of who I am\, so that hopefully people can come away from my songs feeling like they understand themselves\, or others\, or just life in general a little better than they did before.” Photo Credit _Irvin Rivera 				\n				\n				\n				\n					Gabby SamoneGabby Samone is a Baltimore\, MD born vocalist wh\nose powerful voice and emotive delivery are rooted in gospel\,\nR&B\, and classic soul.
