“Gabi was, I want to say, 12. We were in L.A. at a recording studio owned by [producer] Rodney Jerkins [a.k.a. Darkchild],” he shares. “Rodney had been talking to Michael about Gabi. We said bye to Rodney and got in our car. And as we were at a red light right across from the studio, he ran up to our car and [said] ‘Roll the window down, roll the window down, Gabi. There’s somebody that wants to talk to you.”

“We’re like ‘what the heck is going on?’ And he put the phone in her hand; it was on speakerphone and a voice came on [and said,] ‘Hey Gabi, this is Michael. I’ve been watching your YouTube videos. Rodney’s been telling me all about you.’ And we’re like, ‘Michael who?’ Who’s Michael?’ So Rodney’s like ‘Michael Jackson!’ It was surreal. Her mom was crying, ‘I love you, Michael!’

“He was like, ‘Oh you guys should come by the house. We can barbecue. We can hang out. We can talk. He was like, ‘You remind me so much of myself when I was a little kid, Gabi.’ I think that was another moment in her life that I’m like, ‘Oh okay, if Michael Jackson is calling to talk to my daughter, maybe there’s something going on here,’” adds Wilson.

Exhibiting virtuosity as both a musician and singer, he says she performed songs with the passion typically birthed out of lived experience. “I had been around a lot of children that played music, but none of them really had that old, feel like they’ve been here before vibe. Like how are you feeling this music so deeply and you’re only nine years old? I recognized early on that she had a really old soul.”

 

No wonder she's talented AND successful.

An industry seed 

So this basically confirms that she's had deep connections to high profile musicians in the music industry since she was a kid, further solidifying the "plant" narrative.

Talent  

Well, the connections were there after all, congrats I guess, she has more grammys than Whitney, Mariah and Celine, Taylor and Beyonce are next.

It's well known she had artist development for years prior to her debuting as H.E.R

 

The "mystery" musician marketing is because she wanted to sell her music as it is.
