Gabrielle Aplin

Gabrielle Aplin, born October 10, 1992, is an English singer-songwriter hailing from Sutton Benger, Wiltshire. Aplin initially cultivated an online presence by sharing acoustic covers of songs by artists like Paramore and You Me at Six on YouTube, beginning in 2008. Her early performances on the platform included original compositions such as "Home," alongside covers of popular tracks like "The Liar and the Lighter" by You Me At Six, Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," and Cee Lo Green's "Forget You." Aplin has characterized her music as "very family orientated, very personal."

Her musical journey progressed with the release of her first EP, the five-track Acoustic EP, on September 13, 2010, which charted in the UK iTunes album chart. The EP featured the song "Reverse," which was later featured on the E4 television series *Made in Chelsea*. By 2010, Aplin had released three EPs and undertaken tours across the UK and Europe. In July 2010, she performed on BBC Wiltshire, her local radio station.
