Gabrielle Jeannette Hanna (born February 7, 1991) is an American former internet personality and singer-songwriter.

Hanna was born on February 7, 1991, in New Castle, Pennsylvania.

2013

In 2013, Hanna graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in psychology and communications.

While at Pitt, she was a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority.

After college, she worked for a marketing company that sold products out of a Sam's Club; she became the top salesperson in the US for the company and moved to Cleveland, Ohio, to help start a new branch of the company.

However, she departed after realizing that they relied on a pyramid scheme.

Hanna began uploading skits to Vine in late 2013 and later gained recognition for her activity on the Vine app, where she accumulated around five million followers.

2014

In 2014, she set up a YouTube channel under the name The Gabbie Show, which was changed to Gabbie Hanna in 2017 after the release of her debut single "Out Loud", but was later changed back to The Gabbie Show in 2021.

2015

In 2015, Hanna and partner Matt Steffanina won the fourth season of the dance competition web-series Dance Showdown.

After college, Hanna moved to Los Angeles, California, to work with internet media company BuzzFeed, but eventually left to focus on her YouTube and Vine platforms.

In December 2015, a video accusing Gabbie Hanna of stealing jokes went viral on Reddit.

In Hanna's response to these claims, she states she "never have and never will consider [herself] a comedian".

2016

After Vine shut down in 2016, Hanna focused on YouTube.

Meanwhile, she was nominated for two Teen Choice Awards — Choice Web Star: Female and Choice Viner.

In late 2016, Hanna joined the lip sync tour Drop the Mic alongside other YouTubers.

2017

She rose to prominence on the video platforms Vine and YouTube before releasing her debut single, "Out Loud", in 2017.

Hanna has also published two poetry books, Adultolescence (2017) and Dandelion (2020), both of which are New York Times Best Sellers.

In 2017, Hanna released a book of poetry, Adultolescence.

Around the same time, she premiered her debut single "Out Loud" along with its music video and announced plans to release an album titled "This Time Next Year".

A few months later, Creative Artists Agency signed Hanna and she joined MTV's social media team.

In June 2017, Hanna joined the main cast of web series Escape the Night as the vaudevillian and appeared in seven episodes.

She co-hosted the revival of Total Request Live in October 2017.

In November 2017, she released a non-album single, "Satellite", with an accompanying lyrics video.

2018

In January 2018, Hanna was nominated for YouTuber of the Year at the 10th Shorty Awards and for the Social Star Award at the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Hanna released her third single "Honestly" and its encore "Honestly (Encore)" in August 2018.

At the eighth Annual Streamy Awards, Hanna won an award for Storyteller and was nominated for First Person and Audience Choice: Creator of the Year.

On a 2018 interview on Genius' Verified, she sang her song "Monster" a cappella but due to technical errors, the microphone was unable to record her voice properly.

Fans spliced in clips, including vines and voice distortions, at the point of technical error to create a meme.

Hanna has since released merchandise showcasing her singing face during the meme.
