Client Interview

Facilitated an email interview for client Debbie Gibson with Russ Karr of The Swerve Magazine in advance of her appearance at Steel City Con.

Long before there was Taylor, there was Debbie.

Debbie Gibson exploded onto the music scene in 1987 with Out of The Blue. Gibson wrote all 10 songs on that album, a trend that would continue throughout her career.

She became the youngest person, at age 17, to write, produce, and sing a song that would reach number one on the Billboard charts with “Foolish Beat” in 1988.

Perhaps best known for her success in the 80s, Gibson continued to write and record in the following decades and also has appeared in many musicals, including on Broadway. She has also appeared in several cult movies on the SyFy Network.

Gibson will be in town August 7-9 at the Monroeville Convention Center.

She recently took the time to conduct an interview with The Swerve.
