While in New York her first voice-over gig was for the Tourism Board of Spain. She sang a song of the many historical conquests of Spain, and how they each left their mark on the country. This was followed by a spoken voice-over for ‘Soft & Dri’ antiperspirant.
Moving to Boston to ostensibly attend graduate school, she recorded in-house voice mail directories for local private companies. Now she is living in Somerville, MA, and singing her songs with her band ‘Buck Moon’. She is also singing in a ‘Sly and the Family Stone’ tribute band.
She is currently available for voice-over work and she will soon be adding tracks to her current demo. Please visit her website – www.agachiko.com for more information.

- Dear Gabrielle,
Thank you for the message. Please do not see her message as extra-ordinary, we both talked about the whole thing afterrall, all was a missinterpretation and an extreemity of reaction. It is true she is my wife...but we both have issues in our marriage of three years which has nothing at with my profession. If you change your mind about this project it will be very painful to me because I have already day dreamed the story, scenario and the acting of the drama already and I look forward to it.
Now she knows that what we are starting is strictly professional and we both agreed on that. I actually made a mistake of loosing my password at the time.
Hope my explanation will keep the project? how is your freind doing in Nigeria?
Thanks,
Tunde Bakare

- Dear Gabrielle,
Thank you so much for taking the time to make comment - it's always so encouraging. I too am a musician - though totally classical. I'm hopeless at jazz, but LOVE to listen, especially to female singers. Also lived in New York myself for ten years, hanging around jazz clubs. I'm going to visit your website now and try and get a listen to you.
Very best wishes and bon fortuna!
Harry Jepson

- Dear Gabrielle,
How are you today? hope the show went well too? I am surprised at your last message until I saw that someone had earlier on dropped a message on my behalf into your message wall.
Never mind, you can attach the note we talked about into my yahoo-mail tundebakare1@yahoo.com
Many apologies for that

- Sounds great!
I am in Nigeria at the moment for my D.Phil's research and some other theatre runs.

- All sounds very interesting...I am willing to collectively realise all you said...but I need you arround somehow if we eventually dabble into the project.
I am not exactly a strange person in the United States but I need alot of things and information, for instance, I need casts and venue for rehearsals and evetually, costumes.
But, please get the note accross to me via email or do you want my post box address?
