Andorran broadcaster RTVA has approached Filmax Music
record company, which proposed Gisela as a possible Eurovision representative.
Gisela will perform song "Casanova". According to her song is
"very rhythmic and magic, like Andorra with its snow and forests".
The song is created by Jordi Cubino, known as composer of the official
anthem of the 2006 Football World Cup and David Bisbal's "Corazon
Latino" which finished 2nd in Spanish Eurovision 2002 preselection.
Song will be sung mostly in English with a short part in Catalan.
Prior to the contest Gisela is planning a DVT inducing promo-tour covering
Spain, France, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia and Eastern
Europe.
Gisela was born in Barcelona under the sign of Capricorn
on the 1st of January. Ever since she was a child she was mad about music
and was determined to one day become a famous singer. When she grew up
she started to sing in a group and considered the possibility of becoming
a professional singer, but she was aware of how difficult it was to succeed
in the music world and so decided to enrol at the Universidad Autonómica
de Barcelona to study journalism. She left her studies during her second
year when she was chosen to participate in Operación Triunfo, the
Spanish version Fame Academy. She has gained popularity after taking part
in the first edition of talents show Operacion Triunfo. Gisela finished
8th in the show and accompanied winner Rosa at ESC 2002 in Tallinn as
backing vocalist.
As prize she got a contract with Disney Spain and has
started a career in musical theater. She has interpreted the original
B.S.O. for Spain of the Disney movies: Peter Pan (2002), Beauty and the
Beast (2003) Enchanted (2007), and others films.
After the show she released her debut album "Parte
De Mi", which sold in 200,000 copies during 2003, she succeeded at
Vina del Mar International Song Festival contest (interestingly in the
1996 contest saw the first victory of Swiss entrant in ESC 2008 Paulo
Meneguzzi).
Her second album "Mas Alla" was released in 2003, her third
album "Ni te lo imgaginas" came out in 2006. In 2007 Gisela
is selected as special guest performer in Spanish Eurovision preselection
show "Mision Eurovision".
Furthermore, Gisela also sings the main theme of the
Brazilian soap opera Kubanacan, a version of the bolero No Me Plactiques
Más. She has also sung a version of Football Club Barcelona’s
anthem which was chosen as the best of the 2003-2004 season by the public.
She has also done the Fantasia concerts, where she sings Disney songs
accompanied by an orchestra of more than 30 musicians. In Christmas of
2007, Disney offered her the possibility to participate in the dubbing
and the soundtrack of the film Enchanted. More than five tours and 300
concerts over the last few years guarantee that Gisela will continue on
a career path marked with magic, hard work, discipline and perseverance. |
