Music - Whilst you may recognise the tracks 'Sweet About Me', 'Echo Beach', or 'Warm this winter', you may be forgiven for not knowing the name Gabriella Cilmi. However in 2010, that is all set to change. Previously, Gabriella has let the music speak for itself, with tracks heavily played on radio and TV commercials. So much so that PRS recently announced that 2008's 'Sweet About Me' was the most played/performed track of 2009 in the UK.

This year, Gabriella is going for a sexy new image to co-incide with the release of her 2nd album. With a striking and funky dance-based video for the first single, 'On A Mission', you will certainly be remembering this 18 year old aussie for years to come.

Here are some of Gabriella's career highlights that have prepared her for worldwide domination!

Gabriella Cilmi travelled to the US and UK with writer/producer Adrian Hannan, aged 13, and was offered four major US records deals, eventually choosing to sign with Island Records UK.

She contributed two tracks to the 2005 Australian film 'Hating Alison Ashley', starring Delta Goodrem.

Gabriella supported former Sugababes star Mutya Buena at the London Jazz Cafe, in 2007.

Her single 'Sanctuary' featured in the movie 'St Trinians' in 2007.

Gabriella covered the classic Martha and the Muffins, 'Echo Beach' in 2008 for the title theme tune of the TV drama with the same name, starring Jason Donovan.

With Sugababes manager Cassandra Gracey, and writing and production team Xenomania at the helm, Gabriella released her debut album 'Lessons To Be Learned', on March 31st, 2008. It went on to sell almost 1 million copies worldwide.

'Sweet About Me' was on constant rotation both on the radio and TV, with the help of being featured as the music for the TV advertisement for the deodorant Sure/Rexona.

Between March-May 2008, Gabriella supported both Sugababes and Nouvelle Vague, as well as opening for James Blunt in Australia.

The fifth and final single from 'Lessons To Be Learned' - a cover of the Connie Francis track 'Warm this winter' rounded off a great year. It was another hit and has since been used as the theme to the Co-operative supermarkets Christmas TV advertisements.

Gabriella started off 2009 with a BRIT nomination for Best international Female, and a huge performance in January at the 2009 Australian Open Men's Final – where she performed two songs.

In March 2009, Gabriella performed at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for Sound Relief, in support of the Victorian Bushfire Crisis.

In addition to supporting Enrique Iglesias on the UK leg of his tour, he asked Gabriella to stand in for Ciara on UK TV promotion of the single 'Taking back my love'.

More live dates followed including appearing as the second act on the main stage at the Glastonbury Festival.

On August 22, 2009, she sang 'Sweet About Me' and won Grand Prix at Sopot International Song Festival, an international song contest in Poland.

2010 is set to be Gabriella's busiest year yet. She has been working on her second album 'Ten' since February 2009.

'Ten' is to be released on March 22, 2010. Greg Kurstin, The Invisible Men, Dallas Austin and Xenomania have all been involved with the album. Gabriella also takes writing and production credits.

The lead single from 'Ten' is 'On A Mission' – and will be released on March 7th 2010.
