Early life and career
[edit]Gabriella Nelida DeMartino[3] was born on May 5, 1995 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.[4]
DeMartino has three siblings named Nicola, Alessandra and Anthony.[4] Before starting as in a duo, DeMartino was a part of the channel 00RemakeGirls, which was created in 2010 with her twin Niki and older sister-actress Alex. They first performed as Niki and Gabi when uploading covers onto that channel.[5] In July 2015, she created her side channel Fancy Vlogs By Gabriella DeMartino, now known as Fancy Vlogs By Gab.[6] She released her debut solo single "Ever After" on July 17, 2016.[7] She also created her YouTube horror-comedy show, Blood Queens, a show that has run for four seasons from 2017 to 2020.[6][8][9] The show was produced by DeMartino herself and co-directed by her and Thomas Hughes.[10] She released her second single "Flowers" in July 2018, which was featured on Niki and Gabi's debut EP, Individual, and its music video features a cameo from Paris Hilton.[11][12] Later in September, she was featured on Mina Tobias' "Another One" track with Kai Lucas, which was later followed by a diss track "Yacht" in the same month.[13][14] In November, DeMartino appeared in the music video for "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande, which broke the record for the most-watched music video in YouTube within 24 hours at that time.[15][16] In February 2019, she released her valentine single titled "Cold Room". The song was written and recorded in 2016.[17][18]
When the duo began focusing on their solo music, DeMartino released her debut EP, Gabroadway, in June 2020, which contains covers of "Speechless" from Aladdin, "Astonishing", alternatively titled as "Without Money" from Little Women, and "Show Yourself" from Frozen II, as well as a medley of ABBA's "The Name of the Game" and "Mamma Mia".[19] In September 2020, she gave an interview for Forbes following the release of "Champagne Dreams". She described the song to be an "ode to [her] former self" and that it has "old school Kesha" type of sound.[6] It was later followed by "Pretty Little Mind", the lead single from her debut studio album.[20] In August 2021, DeMartino released the second single "Not Today" off of her album, and has also opened for Russian-German DJ Zedd at his concert in Musikfest to promote five songs from the album.[21][22][23] In October 2021, DeMartino released the third single titled "Immaculate", describing it as her 'cancel culture anthem'.[24] She also appeared on the Facebook show Red Table Talk: The Estefans in November.[25][26] In March 2022, she released "Broken Morning" as the fourth and final single from her debut studio album with the new title Paintings of Me, the album was released on May 6th.[27] In June 2023, DeMartino released a single title "Heaven" which talked about her failed engagement, it references the 1957 film An Affair to Remember.[28] While promoting the single, she revealed that her album Paintings of Me was accidental.[29] DeMartino co-wrote "Iced Coffee" by the South Korean group Red Velvet, which is featured as the sixth track from their third studio album, Chill Kill, released in November 2023.[30]

The couples has revealed that they're planning to get married in 2022.[31][32] In May 2022, it was announced that they broke off their engagement.[33]

Controversies
[edit]In September 2020, DeMartino was criticized for a video titled "BFF Income Challenge" in which she was accused of flaunting her income. In the video, she compared her spending income with a friend revealing a "spending disparity of thousands of dollars per week". She later issued an apology.[44]
In December 2020, DeMartino made a nude video of herself at the age of 3 available for sale for $3 on the content subscription platform OnlyFans.[45][46][47][48][49] She was accused of duping her fans about the contents of her video which was teased with the caption "won't put my panties on", distributing child pornography and setting up unsuspecting purchasers for felony possession of child pornography.[50] OnlyFans suspended her account for violating their terms of service. DeMartino initially attempted to downplay the incident as "trolling", stating to Insider, "Drama channels are trying to make something out of a childhood video of me, that's hilarious", and claiming her OnlyFans "was not a sexual page",[51] though her previous posts were sexual in nature.[52]
Musical style
[edit]DeMartino's musical style has been described as pop. Throughout her career, her music has specifically covered the genres dance-pop, synth-pop, theatrical, bubblegum pop and electropop.[6][53][54]
