Gabriella Cilmi must have some vintage T-shirts

26/03/2010

You might not recognise the name Gabriella Cilmi straight away, but you will certainly have heard her massive hit song Sweet About Me.

And if you haven't, how on earth did you miss it? Anyway, the 18-year-old singer recently revealed that she loves 70s rock music, in particular the likes of Led Zep, Joan Jett and T-Rex.

In a recent interview with the Press Association, she described herself as "a 40-year-old man stuck in an 18-year-old girl's body" because of her love of iconic tunes from years gone by.

That must mean that she's got some vintage T-shirts hidden away in her wardrobe somewhere.

The Australian songstress has been singing along to her favourite music for years. In fact, she was discovered performing at a festival in Melbourne at the age of 13, where her repertoire mainly included Rolling Stones covers.

Other major influences include Blondie's Debbie Harry and Suzi Quatro, as well as a host of old blues artists.
