Listen to a conversation between your host Vivienne Aerts and Australian LA-based Gabbi Coenen, a multi-instrumentalist multi-genre singer-songwriter, who also found her way into the film industry as a music supervisor. She explains the ins and outs of that side of the music business and how she manages what seems to be many careers at the same time.
About Gabbi Coenen:
Gabbi Coenen is an Australian vocalist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist. She is known for her “expansive and electrifying” songwriting and her versatile vocal abilities, which have seen her professional career span a range of genres, from modern jazz to indie pop, early to contemporary classical music, and nearly everything in between. Based in New York City since 2011 and Los Angeles since 2020, she has released four EPs and an album as RVBY MY DEAR. Her debut album Waiting (Villainy Records, 2019) was produced by Andrew Lappin and garnered high praise from indie tastemakers such as The Line of Best Fit and The Deli Magazine, as well as landing on Trip-Hop Nation’s Best of 2019 list. The single “Try” was also a semi-finalist in the Unpublished category of the 2019 International Songwriting Competition. Her follow-up self-titled EP (Spirit House Records, 2022) was featured on Bandcamp’s New & Notable and received airplay on Triple J’s Home & Hosed. Gabbi is currently a soprano with the new music collective C3LA and the All Saints Beverly Hills Choir.
When not writing, recording, or performing, Gabbi is a freelance music supervisor for independent films and also teaches private voice and piano lessons to students of all ages and skill levels. She is certified in Somatic Voicework Levels 1-3 and holds a BFA in Jazz Voice from The New School for Jazz & Contemporary Music (Salutatorian) and a Bachelor of Music from the West Australian Academy of Performance Arts. Gabbi’s music supervisor and consultant credits include The Otherkind (2023), Bonding (2023), and “Crone” from the feminist horror anthology film Give Me An A (2022).
