Her big debut was at her grandfather's 70th birthday. She informed the family that she was going to give her grandfather a very special gift. She was going to sing a song for him, not just any song, but his favorite. Gaby practiced every day in her Nino Rick's garage, preparing for the big event. Finally, the day came and she brought him to tears with her rendition of Tu Solo Tu.
It was also at this moment that her parents realized what she born to do, SING!!! Gaby started voice lessons and then added violin and dance. This wasn't enough, so she added piano too! She joined the Maiachi Academy in Porterville. Every spare minute was spent studying music. Soon, she began to perform at weddings, quinceneras, and other private events. She sang in her church choir. She sang at local fairs and public events.
