BMG Records fell in love with her and signed her on to the label. In 1995, she released her self-titled debut album Gisselle, which went platinum with two successful singles; Perfume De Mujer En Tu Camisa (Woman's Perfume on Your Shirt) and Pesadilla (Nightmare). Her career took off, and she released numerous other albums during the next few years and collaborated with artist such as Sergio Vargas to release the hit Juntos. In 1999, she returned to the acting world when she played a role in El Día Menos Pensado (The Day least Thought Of). Gisselle gained success with her 2000 album Voy a Enamorarte (I'm Going to Love You), the album was nominated at the 2001 Grammy Awards for Best Merengue Album, and later that year, her hit single from the album Júrame (Swear To me) won a Latin Grammy Award for Best Tropical Song.
