Gabriella is a composer, pianist, and lyricist based in west L.A. A lifelong musician and lover of film and TV, she is thrilled to bring her music into these mediums to help tell the story. She started studying classical piano at age five and never stopped, adding guitar and vocals into the mix along the way. She loves writing for orchestral and acoustic instrumentation, especially in tandem with more contemporary and experimental production approaches.

Her recent scores include Fern (New Young Filmmakers Los Angeles, Chicago Cinema Femme), Dear Yeda (Lisboa Indie Film Festival, El Encuentro: The Latino Film Experience, All the Moves International Film Festival, etc), Jalopy (L.A. Shorts Fest, Best Student Film: Denali Film Festival, Garden Route International Film Festival), and Sprout (Silver Winner: Best Student Film at the Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation, and Technology, Montreal International Animation Film Festival, etc).

She was selected for the 2025 Women In Film Fellowship as well as the inaugural Composer Filmmaker Accelerator at the Vancouver International Film Festival (2023). At VIFF, she collaborated with director Ana Valina and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, who recorded and performed her piece”Cabin Games.” She was also a Society of Composers and Lyricists mentee (2022) and a participant in the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop at Columbia University (2023). She is the music assistant to composer Christopher Lennertz (The Boys, Gen V, Supernatural, etc.)

Prior to entering the film world, Gabriella spent several years writing and music-directing in the Chicago comedy scene (The Second City, iO Chicago) and for children's theater (PlayMakers Laboratory). She also wrote the music and co-wrote the lyrics for the award-winning Lucky: A Musical (Winner: Best Lyrics, Most Promising, Cast Having the Most Fun - Chicago Musical Theatre Festival 2019).

"Working with Gaby was a director's dream! She immediately got the feeling I was trying to convey and the references I showed her. She was responsive, responsible and a great communicator throughout the project. The final score for Dear Yeda gives me shivers 'til this day and elevated my film to a whole other level. I highly recommend working with her and would gladly work with her again in the future."  — Renny Pereira, director of Dear Yeda
