Life and career

Early days

She was born in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. As a child, she enjoyed music, especially singing. When she was 10 she started with weekly piano lessons with a particular teacher and visited the local church choir each week. She took private singing lessons with the vocal teachers like Dietrich Schneider, who has instructed singers including Tölzer Knabenchor.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}}

Education and career

She studied music and pedagogy at the Ludwig Maximilian University. During her stay in the university, she worked at the Munich State Opera and took part in several opera productions, as well in church concerts and some parallel projects with bands. During this time she toured through Europe, Mexico and South America with the metal act Haggard.[1]

Haggard

She was part of the symphonic metal act Haggard from 1998 to 1 September 2004, when she was fired due to personal disagreements.[2] While she was with the band they toured Europe, Mexico and South America. During the tour of 2001 they recorded the DVD Awaking The Gods from a gig on Mexico. While she was in the band she recorded just one of the albums, Eppur Si Muove, which was published on 2004.[3]

Equilibrium and Dragontears

Just after she was fired from Haggard, she started to collaborate with the epic folk/viking metal band Equilibrium and also the metal band Dragontears, band of the ex-bassist and colleague from her former band, Haggard.[2]

With Equilibrium she was a session and live musician from 2005 to 2010. She recorded three albums with the band: Turis Fratyr (2005), Sagas (2008), Rekreatur (2010).[3]

Nota Profana

Since 2009, she has been part of the symphonic metal band Nota Profana, working alongside musicians from the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra, and now in a more prominent role as part of the beauty-and-the-beast-styled duet alongside male grunts/raw vocals.[4]

With them, she recorded the demo track for the song The Lake, which they presented as their 2009 demo after their first album Violent Whispers. In 2013, she recorded the new full-length production of the band, The Devil's Playground, in which she displayed a more ethereal style in the song The Grove.[5]

With Gaby being part of Nota Profana, the band has got much more attention and acceptance worldwide.[4]

Cantus Lunaris

In the beginning of 2012, she founded the vocal and instrumental ensemble Cantus Lunaris. This is an ensemble of international musicians who she met during her tours and projects.[3] In 2013 they debuted with their first album, Fabula Antiqua. It was released on 15 May of that year. It consisted mostly of the Celtic repertoire of the ensemble.

2013 – present

Koss is being instructed by the teacher and tenor Saverio Suarez Ribaudo in Munich and collaborates with several bands and with composers for film and TV-Series soundtracks. She is also a singer for the band Doninia, where she sings in different styles ranging from very ethnic and dark vocalizations to the classical technique she usually uses.[6][7][8][9]

She started the symphonic rock/metal project Diskelion alongside the guitarist Tom Harris. In an upcoming album, they will feature many guest singers, among them the singer from the symphonic metal band Diabulus In Musica, Zuberoa Aznárez.[10][11]

Singing style

Vocal profile

Gaby has a four-octave vocal range and is a lyric coloratura soprano.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} She has developed in several singing styles and techniques to create what she calls "different voices", and right now she is working with her current teacher with tenorina (female tenor) repertoire.[6][12]
