14 yr old Gabi Wilson signs $1,000,000 deal with SONY, here's video

Just read some more info about this amazing kid Gabi Wilson.

She apparently writes and plays all the instruments on her songs.Be great to see her with PRINCE!

She just inked a multi album deal with SONY and MBK entertainment who also manage Alicia Keys.

It includes film and TV and suppose to be for over $1,000,000.

Can't wait to hear what her record will sound like.

here's her doing Yolanda Adam's In The Midst Of It All.

I'd be thrilled for her...if she were an adult.

Right now I'm just sitting here like, "Her parents should REALLY rethink that."

Show-business isn't something kids should be anywhere near.

Given the way the music business operates I don't know if this is a good thing.

Yeah, I agree that this is not necessarily a good thing. I hope she is surrounded by some good, level-headed people to keep her on the right track. And I hope Sony doesn't push her to chase what is on the pop charts.

I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!

A company like Sony with a million dollar investment is gonna want that money back AND some. Therefore I don't hold high hopes on retaining artistic integrity...
