Bringing Brazilian Influences to K-Pop

To pursue these goals, Gabi continues to work on both vocal training and performance techniques. She emphasized the importance of developing these abilities together while exploring different ways to communicate her artistic style.
BLACKSWAN’s Multicultural Identity
Gabi also discussed the role of cultural diversity within BLACKSWAN, whose members bring different backgrounds and experiences to the group.
According to Gabi, these differences contribute to the group's identity and allow its members to express a variety of individual characteristics while performing together.
Beyond their professional collaboration, Gabi acknowledged the personal support she has received from her fellow members. She recalled relying on them during a challenging period in her life and expressed appreciation for the relationships they have developed outside their stage activities.
Gabi also credited the opportunities provided by her management company, including participation in various performances and activities, with contributing to her professional development.
Looking Ahead to Further Artistic Development
Discussing her future aspirations, Gabi expressed a desire to establish a more recognizable individual musical identity while continuing her work with BLACKSWAN.
She hopes audiences will come to understand not only her abilities as a singer and performer but also her personal perspectives, interests and experiences.
When asked which BLACKSWAN song she would recommend to Brazilian fans, Gabi selected "Cat & Mouse," identifying it as one of her personal favorites.
