 Get to know Gabrielle Mooney, who’s latest single “Bad” has everyone’s attention. Mooney describes the song as “an essential part of my story and lets everyone in on my journey as a person, that I haven’t been very vocal about before. It talks about the struggle between right and wrong, and what it’s like to feel like an outsider where you don’t belong. Being able to write this song was an incredible way to reflect and tell this part chapter in my story.” Gabrielle states her influences and favorite artists include Tim McGraw, Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, Faith Hill, and Keith Urban. Gabrielle also noted she loves rock music, which is most evident on “Bad.” You can the watch the official music video for “Bad” which premiered on Taste of Country below. Growing up Mooney praises her family who “was always so music oriented and encouraged me to be creative. Music was also something that really bonded my family together from just loving it as a whole to performing a church, it always brought us together.” Gabrielle is not the only well-known Mooney in her family, she is the older sister of Shay Mooney, half of the award-winning duo Dan + Shay. Have you ever come across the name LYRX in the liner notes of a song? Believe it or not, that is Gabrielle as well!

Despite the many hats Mooney wears, she never forgets where she came from. Being a new woman in the country music industry, Mooney gives the advice to those on the road behind her “to stand your ground and just feel confident in yourself and your craft.

Lead your own path and trust your gut.” You can find her music on all digital platforms and across social media @gabriellemooneymusic on Instagram and @GabrielleMMusic on Twitter.
