Gabi Wilson, the little Alicia Keys

I think this is an old news, but I thought this little kid is just amazing!

Gabi Wilson is a 10 year old girl who is being called one of the most talented kids in America for her abilities to play the piano, bass, drums and guitar and sing.

Q: You’ve been called “Little Alicia Keys.” What do you like about her music particularly?

Gabi Wilson: Well, she plays an instrument and she sings. She’s my idol, I love her music. It’s really funky and my type of music.

Watch.

And guess what, she is a half Filipino-Black American. Her mother Agnes Wilson a native Filipina, her father Kenny Wilson is a member of the Urban Bushmen, a local band that we refer to as “The Soul of Vallejo” here at Listen & Be Heard Poetry Café.

Kat. I can not NOT sing in the shower. And I sing pretty much all the time and annoy the people around me to death. I am often described as feminine. Maybe because I can not sit and not keep my legs together. And I wear skirts a lot. I earned the nickname “The Queen” because of the way I walk. I’m acidic and arthritic. My specialty dish is Munggo. I was in the cheerleading squad in high school. And I dislocated my right wrist doing a cartwheel. I wrote for the school paper in college, and was kicked out for it. I like Garfield. And I love Lea Salonga to death.

Next: Modern Convenience

The digital age we live in no longer accepts the semantics of ancient craft and demands multi-sensorial experiences – any object we bring in our house should be an expression of our modern being and development. The iconic egg-like object functions as the foundation for new life – it is a material visualization of digital and sensual technology and nature synthesizing.

Ron, that Charlie Green, I am absolutely thrilled (in a Simon’s accent). I love the accent.

Brilliant!

Filipino singers are really making waves recently.Dati pangarap ko rin maging magaling kumanta. But my music teacher told me I can’t sing. Oh well… :)
