Louisa Gabrielle Bobb (born 16 April 1970) is a multi-platinum selling, BRIT Award winning English singer, who records under the name Gabrielle.
Gabrielle was born in Hackney, London. Her unconventional image includes short tight curls, and an eye patch on one of her eyes (she is not blind, but rather has ptosis, the drooping of one eyelid).
Her debut single "Dreams" topped the UK Singles Chart in June 1993. Other notable singles include "Going Nowhere", "Give Me A Little More Time", "Walk on By" and "If You Ever" - a duet with East 17. After a few fallow years Gabrielle made a stunning comeback with "Rise", which became Gabrielle's second UK number one in 2000. The album of the same name also reached the top spot in the UK Albums Chart, where it stayed for three weeks. The successful "Out of Reach" from the soundtrack to the film, Bridget Jones's Diary, reached number four in the UK Singles Chart. Gabrielle's greatest hits collection, Dreams Can Come True, Greatest Hits Vol. 1 was released in 2001.
