With a career spanning several decades, London-based Scarlet Gabriel, an accomplished performer, singer/songwriter and educator, has earned wide acclaim for her powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence.
This vocal dexterity she has reflected in her brand new song, Cash Out featuring Afrobeats sensation, Rayce, and dropping on June 21, 2024.
Scarlet is widely recognized for her roles in premier West End and Broadway productions including Kinky Boots, Ghost, Mamma Mia! The Party, Waitress, and the worldwide phenomenon, Six. The artist’s extensive touring has brought her talents to audiences in Italy, Belgium, Romania, China, South Pacific Islands, and Australia, among other destinations.
In addition to her theatrical achievements, Scarlet has made numerous television appearances across all major UK networks including BBC1, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, as well as SKY1 and MTV Base.
Her vocal prowess has been featured alongside prominent artists such as Ella Henderson and Peter Andre, and she has performed at notable events including weddings of celebrities and athletes.
Speaking on her illustrious music career, Scarlet said: “I’ve been in the industry for some time and my journey led me to musical theatre, where I’ve achieved significant success in the UK. Music has always been an integral part of my life, and I have long aspired to release music that I am proud of – music that brings joy and resonates deeply with me. The timing is now perfect, and everything has aligned for this moment.”
She added: “My extensive experience in the industry has taught me that as long as I create something I am proud of, I have succeeded. Whether people love or loathe the song is beyond my control, but if even one person is inspired by it, I consider that a success. Everything else is a bonus.”
Scarlet’s dedication extends beyond performance to mentorship and community engagement. She is passionate about coaching and mentoring young people in underprivileged areas, delivering motivational talks on social media, and designing programmes for corporate and educational settings. Her commitment to spreading positivity and support is evident in her varied initiatives.
Recently, Scarlet has ventured into the Afrobeats genre, inspired by her rich background in African, Caribbean, and world music. She describes her musical style as eclectic, celebrating diversity while maintaining her unique approach characterised by intricate harmonies and candid expression.
Her upcoming single, Cash Out, created in collaboration with Rayce and Big Suni’s Black Wall Street, marks a significant addition to her discography.
“I have known Big Suni for over a decade, and it is a pleasure to finally collaborate on a project. He possesses a wealth of wisdom and knowledge and has been a steadfast supporter of my career over the years. I am honoured and grateful to Rayce for working with me on this project. As a prominent figure in the Afrobeats scene, his warm reception has been humbling. He welcomed me with open arms and I sincerely appreciate that,” the beautiful singer enthused.
Scarlet Gabriel continues to inspire and captivate audiences globally, bringing her exceptional talent and passion for the arts to every endeavour.
On her expectations, she said, “I hope that the wonderful people of Nigeria will embrace me with the same love and support that Rayce and Black Wall Street have shown. I look forward to hearing the song doing well and being played widely, bringing happiness to those who enjoy my work.”
But what’s next for Scarlet after Cash Out? She responded: “I am currently planning a trip to Nigeria to work on more music and content for Cash Out. I am excited to visit and immerse myself in the rich culture, and I am proud to be a part of it.”
