Gabi Wilson Performance 2014: Child Prodigy Performs Medley of Hits on 'Sway in The Morning', Talks Bond with Alicia Keys [VIDEO]
Child prodigy and star-in-the making, Gabi Wilson, visited Sway in the Morning to show off her amazing vocal and musical talents. The 17-year-old RCA artist recently performed on BET, and has been gaining buzz ever since. Her youthful spirit and level-head give her the perfect combination of characteristics to be the next big thing. After watching this video, it is extremely obvious that she will be.
Sway, known for his work on MTV, has made great friends in his long television and radio career. One of them is named Suzette Williams. She is a talented A&R who worked on projects and played a major role in the careers of the legendary Lauryn Hill and more recently, Elle Varner.
Suzette told Sway about her and he dedicated a portion of his radio show to her live performance. The adorable teenage sensation briefly discussed her time growing up in Oakland (where Sway is proudly from), how she discovered music and meeting her idol Alicia Keys.
Though she cried when she met her, Alicia was thoroughly impressed with the then 14-year-old Wilson who performed a few of her songs for her at the 2009 ASCAP Awards. According to Wilson, the newly pregnant Keys "will probably be on [her] album."
Watch as the soulful teenager takes over Sway's Sirius XM music studio to perform a medley of hits from Michael Jackson, Biggie and the Isley Brothers, seamlessly switching from bass to piano. Be careful not to fall in love!
