Debbie Gibson is a singing-dancing-songwriting-producing-composing musical prodigy who has been serenading the world for 35 years, ever since her self-penned hit “Only In My Dreams” arrived on the Billboard charts when she was just 16 in the summer of 1987. Since then, she has sold more than 16 million albums, released 10 studio albums, toured all over the world, and starred in 17 musicals.
On BUST’s latest “Poptarts” podcast, she talks about shedding her squeaky-clean image, she honors her late mother—the original “momager,” and she pushes back against an industry that routinely discounts artists who appeal to teenage girls.BUST's Poptarts is a twice-monthly podcast hosted by magazine editors Emily Rems and Callie Watts that celebrates women in pop culture.
DebbieGibson Keep on dancing. Love to see ya!
DebbieGibson Loved this episode + hearing about how she got started producing her own music as a teen 😍
DebbieGibson You look 1988 in this smile gif
DebbieGibson I love this but she didn't just now shed her 'squeaky clean' image. She was on a Harley on the back cover of her 3rd album, Losing Myself was a sexy song & video, and she wore THIS in the 90s
DebbieGibson What an amazing podcast. 💚'd every minute of it.
