Song of the Week
Gisel de Marco was born in Argentina and got interested in music already as a child. At the age of 7, she home-recorded her first album Blue Bay, accompanying herself on her toy piano. Gisel participated in school plays and musicals already at school, but the realisation that she wanted to become a singer came when she sang Hero by Mariah Carey at a karaoke bar.
In 2004, Gisel won a singing and songwriting competition With you in Hollywood, a show produced by the Warner Channel. The prize was a trip to Hollywood and a performance in Los Angeles. The same year Gisel joined The Spanglish Band, a cover band with which she performed at restaurants, clubs and events. She also started performing solo.
In 2007, Gisel signed up on SellaBand and in 2008 completed raising her recording budget of 50 000 $. Her album All The Way was released two years later.
Success on SellaBand resulted in Gisel's move to Switzerland. In 2013, she entered The Voice of Switzerland and got to the finals. The competition led to another opportunity: later on the same year, she joined 3 For All, the band started by two other successful participants of The Voice: Iris Moné and Ricardo Sanz. The band's song Together Forever got to the Swiss finals and ended up in the third place.
