Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, Gisel's destiny with music began at the tender age of just 7 years, when she received her first toy piano. It wasn't long before she started taking piano lessons and by the age of 10, she made her first home recorded album and named it "Blue Bay".
Gisel's love for the arts continued, as she participated in school plays, musicals, and dance. Through all her interests, Gisel had no idea how strong her love for singing would be until one evening, at a Karaoke bar with her friends. She was extremely shy and nervous, but that evening, her friends were very persistent in convincing Gisel to stand up and sing a song. Well, she finally gathered enough nerve to sing "Hero" by Mariah Carey and almost instantly, the crowd went quiet and became mesmerized with this unknown local singer! Soon, they all began to applaud and cheer Gisel's performance and it was at that moment, she realized that singing was the thing she was destined to do...it was the connection with the people in the Karaoke bar that evening that made her realize it was the most important moment of her life! It was then, at that moment, that Gisel realized the first and greatest love in her life – it was singing for people!
Her interest in the arts continued, as she performed in plays and musicals at the “Teatro El Círculo”. She also studied hip-hop and Persian dance, and modeled on the runway for the international shop Falabella and the clothes designer, Solido Inc. When she was 18, Gisel started composing and recording her first demo and she was invited to sing on several local television stations.
As Gisel’s journey with singing continued, she traveled to Buenos Aires and started working with the same producers who worked with Laura Miller, Pimpinela, and Patricia Sosa. She recorded with producer Fabian Gallardo and received proposals from the manager of Karina Mazzocco, Horacio Cabak, and Manuel Wirtz.
In 2003, after winning “The Bachelorette”, the United States' "Warner Channel", flew Gisel to Jamaica, where she had the opportunity to perform at the "Grande Sport Villa Golf Resort & Spa by Beaches."
From that point on, Gisel entered and won a singing and songwriting competition by "With you in Hollywood", a show produced by the Warner Channel. Winning that contest gave her the opportunity to travel to Hollywood in 2004, where she performed for the people in the “City of Angels."
Afterwards, in August 2004, Gisel joined a local Rock & Roll band known as "The Spanglish Band" and became the lead female vocal singer. This was a great opportunity, as she was able to perform in some well-known clubs, restaurants, and events, such as Mei, Taura, Moore, SOHO and Costello. Concurrently, Gisel performed at the Hard Rock Café in Buenos Aires and performed solo at various events and restaurants in her home town of Rosario, as well as other communities that are close by.
Gisel's ambitions didn't stop in Argentina. On March 22, 2007, she joined SellaBand.com as their most ambitious and unsigned South American Artist. She was intrigued by the friendships and bonds the artists on SellaBand forged with the people who "believe" in them through purchases of "parts" in each artist. This chance of creating something together with her believers was the driving force in what ultimately became the fastest "Final Countdown" in SellaBand’s history! Over the course of just a few days, Gisel de Marco raised approximately $14,000 to become the 25th artist to raise $50,000 on SellaBand.com. An amazing achievement for anyone! Gisel's hard work paid off as her friends, fans, and believers launched her into the next chapter of her life...a recording deal for her debut album, “All The Way”, which releases World-wide early in August of 2010.
SellaBand was important in so many ways for Gisel de Marco; the site gave her World-wide exposure and showed that she is a hit in countries around the world! Of course, Gisel showed her SellaBand believers how important they all are to her by writing a song and dedicating it to them…it’s called, “I found you”.
Afterwards, in August 2004, Gisel joined a local Rock & Roll band known as "The
