American singer-songwriter, actress and TV personality Deborah Ann Gibson was born 54 years ago in New York City. She never married and does not have any children.
As a child, she studied the piano, and when she was 13, Debbie took part in a song contest by sending in a cassette tape in which she recorded songs composed by herself and won a prize. After that, her mum borrowed a sum of money to turn their home garage into a recording studio.
Debbie spent years writing her own songs and one day they arrived in the hands of a record producer with the help of a radio personality. She was then offered a deal and toured the country by performing in several night clubs. At the same time, she continued High School and eventually graduated.
In 1987, Debbie’s first album was released, including the hit singles ‘Only in my Dreams’ and ‘Shake your Love’, which both reached the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as the number one US hit ‘Foolish Beat’. Another number one hit single was released in 1989, named ‘Lost in Your Eyes’.
During the next 3 decades, Debbie had 9 more albums and about 34 singles. She also collaborated with various other artists like Jordan Knight and the boy-band New Kids on the Block. Debbie acted in 18 movies and some musicals, as well as appeared in several TV programmes including talent and game shows, sitcoms and series.
During her career so far, Debbie won several awards, including 5 New York Music Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award and recently became an Honoree of the Women’s International Music Network She Rocks Awards.
