Gabi Hartmann

Until she was fourteen, she studied classical piano and then exchanged the keyboard for her brother’s guitar so that she could write songs. Her interest in jazz arose after discovering Amy Winehouse and her covers of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole.

Gabi continued her musical education by attending classes at the Schola Cantorum and the Conservatoire, then became acquainted with Brazilian music during a two-year stay in Rio de Janeiro. Additionally, she studied ethnomusicology in London before returning to Paris, where she pursued projects in ten different genres in three languages.

After travelling to Brazil, South Africa, and England, Gabi met producer Jesse Harris in New York in 2018 and recorded her first solo album with him. Since then, they have been creating and recording music, working in Paris and New York. While preparing her album, Gabi opened concerts for Jamie Cullum and Melody Gardot and sang at the famous Parisian jazz club Duc des Lombards. Her name sparked great interest, and her magnificent voice – warm, with a touch of casual elegance and charm –rightfully gained immense popularity.
