Gabriela was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and spent her childhood surrounded by music and arts, a passion that has been present in her family for generations. At the age of fifteen, she embraced her passion for acting and singing and decided to develop her talents in local musical theatre groups. Followed by that, she travelled to New York to perfect her English and to study at the prestigious New York Film Academy.

​

Back in São Paulo, alongside her studies in Wolf Maya Acting School and the University of São Paulo (studying a BA of Performing Arts in Theatre Interpretation), she appeared in many independent plays and singing acts in the biggest entertainment capital of Latin America. In 2016, after a short time in Los Angeles attending workshops at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and the Ivanna Chubbuck Studio, Gabriela starred in the International Emmy Nominated series “PSI” by HBO Latin America. Playing the lead role, Aurora Sampaio, in the third season conceded her an amazing reception from the media and the public.

​

Now, based in the UK, she graduated the post-graduate 1-year Course in Professional Acting at Drama Studio London and the masters' degree in Musical Theatre at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (recipient of the Leverhulme Trust Arts Scholarship).

​

Her acting credits include “DOCTOR WHO” playing Jamila Velez on the episode "Praxeus" - a role that marked the first appearance of a Brazilian actress in the series, which created great repercussion in her home country; “UNTIL I KILL YOU”, a brand-new crime drama by ITV & World Productions, “SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE” and “LONDON ROAD” as part of the Richard Burton Theatre Company and several commercials for brands such as AXA and Unilever.

​

Not only has she worked as an actor and singer, but her skills include songwriting, vocal coaching, chat show presenting and clowning. In 2021, her debut single "THE RELEASE" was released in all streaming platforms and has over 430k views on YouTube. Her upcoming EP is currently being produced by the Latin Grammy Award winning producer Adriano Daga at Daga Music House.
