Gale has gone from a go-to songwriter for people like Juanes and Christina Aguilera to a rising solo star in her own right. Now the Puerto Rican artist is ready to go even farther with her debut album.
is also an ode to her past and the experiences that have brought her where she is. Gale, whose real name is Carolina Colón Juarbe, was born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. She’s one of the people who knew what she wanted to do since she was a kid; she says she wrote her first song when she was seven years old. A lot of her first performances were at home, alongside her father, who played guitar and percussion.
She was shy at first, but she says her dad always encouraged her to start off with just three songs. “He’d be like, ‘This is what you’re going to be when you grow up. You have to practice.’ And then after the third song, it would actually turn to 10 songs,” she says, laughing. “It would be the whole repertoire.”
Her mom, a theater actress in Puerto Rico, loved Eighties rock like Bon Jovi, while her stepfather loved old-school classics like the Beatles, Joe Cocker, and the Beach Boys. All of them encouraged her love of music, which she grew even more serious about when she enrolled at Escuela Libre de Músicato to study singing and guitar.
She tears up remembering her stepfather, who died of cancer last year. “He was always the one that told me, ‘Youto do these things.” And it was that drive and fearlessness that pushed Gale to move stateside once she graduated with a degree in marketing from the University of Puerto Rico and a certificate in songwriting from the Berklee College of Music. She lived with relatives in Pembroke Pines, Florida, about half an hour from Miami, and started trying to break into the industry.
