She’s got purple hair and a killer voice. To celebrate her success, on Thursday, March 23, Kenmore native and “The Voice” season 12 contestant Gaby Borromeo will perform at city hall.

The event is from 5:30-6 p.m. at Kenmore City Hall, located at 18120 68th Ave NE.

Borromeo began singing karaoke at 8 years old. After a family party, her relatives encouraged her parents to enroll her in lessons, and with classical training, she started to record demos with a local Seattle producer.

She obtained her GED and moved to New York at 15, where she worked with numerous production companies, including John Legend.

Borromeo’s blind audition on “The Voice” that got her to the next level can be found on YouTube.
