S2 E66 - Debbie Gibson

Hello everyone and welcome to “Billy’s Bubble” here on Drum Channel. Today’s guest is singer-songwriter, actress, TV personality, and Broadway star Debbie Gibson. 

Debbie has released eleven studio albums, six compilation albums, one box set, and forty-six singles. 

Gibson’s career goes back to 1986, while still in her early teenage years, writing and recording her debut Atlantic Records album Out the Blue. The first single “Only In My Dreams,” landed in the top five on the Billboard charts and put Debbie on the map as one of the youngest artists to write and record their own material. The track featured our very own DC podcast host Billy Amendola on Simmons drums. It went on to sell five million copies to date and went gold and platinum. 

Still relevant today Debbie is on “The Body Remembers Encore” U.S. summer tour for her latest album, The Body Remembers, which features former Cinderella drummer Fred Coury as one of the producers. 

Debbie and Billy catch up on a phone call to talk about all things drums and more. Enjoy!
