Deborah Gibson started her career at
a young age. She got experience in theater by
playing roles in plays like "A Christmas
Carol", "Annie" and "Mickey
Mouse and Friends". At age 12, she started
songwriting seriously.
She was part of the Metropolitan Opera for several
years, doing opera's like "Hansel und
Gretel", "La Boheme" and "Le
Rossignol", some of which meant singing in a
foreign language.
Deborah got her first recording contract at age 16,
for a 12" aimed at the dance market. Late 1986,
"Only in my Dreams" was released, a song
she had written three years prior. After it became a
hit, 6 months of hard work performing at various
clubs later, she recorded her first album, titled
"Out of the Blue". It went triple
platinum, just like her second album "Electric
Youth", which was released in January 1989.
With the song "Foolish Beat" she set a
record: she became the youngest artist in chart
history to have written, produced, and performed a
Number 1 song.
