Actress, singer, and producer Gabrielle Ruiz joins the HarmonyTALK podcast to share her inspiring journey from growing up in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas to performing on Broadway and starring in hit television shows.
Raised in Edinburg, Texas, Gabrielle discovered her passion for the performing arts through public school arts education, while navigating life as a proud Mexican American artist. On HarmonyTALK, she talks openly about moving to New York City, facing rejection, and building resilience as a working performer.
Gabrielle’s career includes Broadway productions such as In the Heights, Evita, and If Then, as well as her breakout television role as Valencia Perez on Crazy Ex Girlfriend, which she landed after being recommended by Lin Manuel Miranda. She currently voices T’Lyn on Star Trek Lower Decks and is producing new musical work, including The Randy Andys, a post-modern Broadway style musical revue.
In this episode, Gabrielle also discusses arts education advocacy, mentoring young performers, and what it means to build a sustainable creative career.
HarmonyTALK showcases inspiring conversations with Dreamers and Doers who have turned their dreams into reality, often against great odds.
