I’m from Medellín, Colombia. I’m a reggaeton artist, and that’s what I represent.

Minimal is the word I’d use to describe how I live and dress, and it’s also how I sing. I’m not a big fan of overemoting.

Some people want the attention, some people want the spotlight, and that just wasn’t it for me.

I’m not selling out, denying who I am or where I’ve come from, not at all. I acknowledge that.

I had to travel half way across the world to be called an American.

I just assumed that at the time if I could display a talent worthy of praise. . . that I wasn’t just who you thought I was, I thought I wouldn’t be fat anymore. That may seem silly, I know that now. But at the time, I thought that if I could just get the world to see me the way I saw myself, that my body wouldn’t be the thing you walked away thinking about. I wouldn’t be that fat girl, I wouldn’t be that dark skinned girl. I’d be Gabby I’d be human

Human beings have a demonstrated talent for self-deception when their emotions are stirred.

Do whatever you have to do. People always want to tell you how to do it. No, do it your way. And don’t ask for like oh how can you do it … do it, figure it out. I figured it out one way or another and I did it.

I found it difficult to watch myself playing on TV because I couldn’t identify with the person on the screen. I couldn’t get to grips with it. It was as if it was all happening to someone else.
