She worked flipping burgers for around 3 years, and as a cleaner in schools. [2] She also worked as a radio host for a year and a half. [2] She once moved to Stavanger and intended to start an education within reiselivsutdanning, a tourism program. [3] She later studied music at Nord-Trøndelag University College. [3]

After she switched her focus from English lyrics to Norwegian, she signed a contract with Norway's largest record company, Universal. [5]
In 2011, Gabrielle released her first single "Ring meg" that reached #1 on VG-lista, the official Norwegian Singles Chart, #1 on iTunes, sold 10× Platinum, most streamed single in Norwegian history and was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy in the category "Hit Of The Year".

But I must sing about something I believe in; I like lyrics that go to some depth. A message about tits and ass and stuff like that, does not cut it for me". [4]
In 2012 she said that she "will not take on a role as a spokeswoman for the Christian artists". [10]
