Gabby La La’s first album, Be Careful What You Wish For… is a wildly fun, endlessly charming and musically off-the-wall debut that’s rooted in a life-long dedication to music, both highly specialized and extraordinary. Well before the release of this album, Gabby’s proficient and vast musical talents with such instruments as the sitar, ukulele, toy piano, accordion and Theremin, have made her a decidedly sought after contributor for artists ranging from Snoop Dogg to Les Claypool, Macy Gray to DJ Boogie.

Gabby fell in love with music at a very young age. As a child, she incessantly sang the songs from the rags to riches orphan tale Annie around her Bay Area home. Lucky for her, a piano teacher neighbor heard her efforts and prodded her parents into getting her piano lessons at age 5. She took to it so well that it wasn’t long before she and some friends were playing music on the street. By the time Gabby was 12, she was playing guitar as well, and after stumbling across her mother’s Beatles albums, she developed a new obsession: sitar. She began studying the instrument with one of its masters, Ali Akbar Khan.

Her first professional forays into the public music world came with her work with San Francisco beatmaster DJ J-Boogie and his Dubtronic Science outfit. She would later join the lauded collective Dakah Hip Hop Orchestra as one of several female MCs, before enlisting in Love Balm, her band with Lonnie Marshall.
