SoundClick artist: Gabby Young - you can't put me into a genre I won't fit.

she sits alone she thinks she sparks she plays she writes she sings she records she tickles the ivories from time to time she tokes she watches she snuggles a lot in bed she wails she screams she growls she squeeks and she whips it into an aria she listens to all she takes pinches of this and that and rolls it into this:)

ps she doesn't like to use punctuation or make much sense.

Why this name?

it just seemed to say something about me...ie:my name!

Do you play live?

everynight, day (not early) in my room to my toys and dogs before they walk away. I'm currently in 2 cover bands- not my thing but I need the cash and am looking for solo gigs I need to move from the middle of the countryside first maybe and get a godamn driving license! I love performing though whatever I'm singing I go mad many special moments but hopefully there will be lots more...lots.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

I'm a big fan half the bands I discovered and love are through the net and must are totally unknown and I would never hear of them any other way. I love the way you can contact your inspirations and leave messages and chat to other fans and being able to hear a band/ artist without using the money I do not have.. well it rocks god save the net.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

no, never. I'm doing this my own way - I don't think that is me in any way I would just ahhhh I don't know. no.

Band History:

i was born, apparently I sang in the the womb - they could hear squeeks from time to time!! and carried on till i can but now sometimes its not always singing its just what comes. I don't believe in history or herstory its whats happening now that matters.
