Gaby's upbringing in the entertainment industry, with a mother who was a Playboy Centerfold, actress, and model, and stepfathers who had their own prominent roles, set the stage for a life filled with captivating tales. However, in 2004, a series of losses shattered Gaby's dream of becoming a singer, silencing her voice for 17 years.
