Before making Brooklyn her home, Gisele toured as a ‘Raelette’ with Ray Charles at the height of his career, and from then on she also accompanied legends such as the incomparable Donna Summer or her ‘godfather’ James Brown.
In her career, she has toured more than 18 countries in North America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. She has performed solo in major jazz clubs across the USA; she has opened for artists such as Tito Puente, Bette Midler, The Commodores, B-52, and a host of music giants. She has performed at Hollywood premieres and award ceremonies and has appeared on the big screen singing in the movie “First Wives Club”. And she was in charge of singing at Bill Clinton's presidential inauguration.
Billboard magazine elevated her to diva status following her great global success, the dance classic “Love Commandments”. The single reached number 3 on Billboard's dance chart, catapulting Gisele into the pantheon of house and dance music. She has also had her moment of glory in theater, with roles such as Effie in “Dream Girls”, Bessie in “Life & Death of Bessie Smith”, Evilene in “The Wiz”, Luttibelle in “Purlie”, and Frankie in “Carmen Jones”. And she has appeared on television, including a worldwide commercial campaign for Johnnie Walker.
