Fearless from the First Shot

Authenticity is a roll-off-the-tongue word we've been accustomed to seeing and hearing, especially in the world of social media. Just a quick scroll through any social media platform and you'll find a stream of advice about always trusting your gut and being your true self. It's an easy concept in theory-we all have a unique personality and a set of values-but the hard truth is that it's not always so simple in practice. 

However, for singer and actress, Gabbi Garcia, it's no longer just a mere concept or buzzword. It's the way she has lived her life and it has proved to be a worthy asset to her meteoric rise and endeared her to millions of fans all over the country. "Basically, I'm a transparent person. What you see usually is basically who I am," shares the GMA star in her signature dimpled smile.

THE GOAL RUSH

As evidenced by her now-viral videos as a teen and before her deep dive into the world of show business, the younger Gabriella Louise Ortega Lopez was always game to show her wits, talent, and bravado as a performer. In her early teen years, Gabbi would often hop on stage and show off her singing prowess with no hesitation in every fiber of her body. It's just pure gusto to share her voice with the world.

The now-23-year-old can't help but laugh at her experiences prior to fame. Oftentimes, she would ask her glam team in jest, in the middle of a makeup and wardrobe change, why she had said or had done certain things in the past. But it was understandable why-Gabbi will always shoot her shot for everything she wants to achieve in life.
