Today we’d like to introduce you to Gaby Fadhel.
Hi Gaby, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I began performing and training at the age of 6 years old. I trained through elementary school and that led me to the magnet theatre programs at South Miami Middle School and Coral Reef Senior High School. Throughout my time in school, I worked for Telemundo and Univision is some commercials and shows. When I was thirteen I starred in a TV Pilot “Back 2 Hope” that filmed three episodes. Throughout my time at school, I also worked in training students to audition for magnet schools in Miami Dade. I have had many students audition and receive acceptances to MAS @ Zelda Glazer, Coral Reef Senior High, South Miami Middle, Southwood Middle, and New World School of the Arts. When I attended Coral Reef, I had the honor of performing at Morsani Hall at the Straz Center in Tampa, Florida. This center is where all of the touring Broadway shows perform when in Tampa.
After I graduated high school, I attended school for Business and Marketing but always led myself back to the performing arts. I continued to train students for auditions – at this time I had students receive acceptances to UCLA Berkeley and NYU Tisch. I helped build back the after school theatre program where I started my theatre training and also built a brand new Musical Theatre program at a local dance studio. In 2021 I decided to join the team at a K-12 school in Silver Palms, Fl. I built the elite Stallion Theatre program at Somerset Academy Silver Palms where the kids took 10-12 hours of theatre a week. Throughout my time at Somerset, we competed at multiple district and national level competitions and took multiple “Best of Shows” and “Top Honors” awards. Through our program the students also had opportunities to work professionally in the entertainment industry.
Royal Studios was opened in the summer of 2025 with the purpose of giving students opportunities to train, perform and work professionally while still attending school. In August of 2025 we opened SIX: Teen Edition and it exploded our company. Through Royal Studios, our students have had chances to work and train with professionals in the industry, tour shows – like a professional company – and book gigs. Our company has boomed in the last four months of our inauguration and we continue to grow and give students opportunities to grow as professional artists, but most importantly, humans.
I have had such amazing moments in my life but seeing this company grow and seeing students all around South Florida live out their dreams has been the most momentous in my life.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
A smooth road in the entertainment world does not exist! I’ve been blessed that I have had an amazing group of people pushing me forward but there are days that have felt longer than others. There were many moments that feel like I couldn’t do it when registrations weren’t coming in or funding wasn’t being produced to fund productions. The waiting game is no joke in this business but with the help of my family, friends, and the Royal Team, we all got through it together. It truly does take a village to pull off the amazing work we have been putting on.
As you know, we’re big fans of Royal Studios Miami. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Royal Studios Miami is a non-profit organization that offers students from all levels and background the training and performance opportunities they deserve to continue growing in their craft – whether that be dance, theatre or music. Our company offers classes in voice, acting and musical theatre dance to students aging from four years old to college age. The classes are intense and it allows for young artists to train in a professional atmosphere all while still being a kid. We also offer shows throughout the season where kids can audition and be part of professional level productions and gain exposure in the live theatre industry.
What sets us apart is that we are only one of the few theatre based companies in Miami that offer training at the level we do. From training with coaches that have worked on Broadway to paid opportunities to perform in local productions and events.
I am the so proud of the fun and welcoming environment we have created. Our studio is all about family and supporting one another. All the students get the same opportunities to perform and work. We created a welcoming environment which is sometimes unheard of in this industry.
Royal Studios is about training, performance, and family and we pride ourselves in continuing to showcase the many talents of our students through professional level training and productions.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
One of my favorite memories has to be all the family gatherings during the holidays. My cousins and siblings were all in the arts so we would put together little skits to perform for our families during Christmas dinner. Our performances were always written by us and we would put together these little shows in thirty minutes just to entertain our families and friends.
