An Atlantic Records artist, Debbie Gibson, now 21, entered the music scene in 1987 with her multi-platinum debut album, OUT OF THE BLUE . The album yielded a staggering four Top Five singles for the first-time artist, including the #1 smash, "Foolish Beat." With that accomplishment, Ms. Gibson became the youngest artist in history to have written, produced, and performed a #1 single. Her second album, ELECTRIC YOUTH, was released in 1989 and quickly jumped to the top of the charts, becoming her first #1 album. The album also yielded two more gold-selling singles, including "Lost In Your Eyes," which also reached #1 on the charts. Ms. Gibson's latest album, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, has gone gold. Ms. Gibson has toured internationally in conjunction with all three of her albums. She has also released a string of best-selling home videos: OUT OF THE BLUE, LIVE -- IN CONCERT -- THE OUT OF THE BLUE TOUR, and LIVE AROUND THE WORLD.
