GABRIEL GOES

Gabriel's upbringing immersed him in the arts, with his father as a renowned photographer and filmmaker and his mother running an aerialist school. When he was 3, his mom started taking him to shows and would always seat Gabriel in the band section. He loved watching all the musicians and immediately fell in love. Soon he picked up singing and playing the ukulele and guitar. In high school, he formed a rock/reggae band called Backset, and Gabriel writes all their original music. They play private parties, graduations, fairs and clubs. Growing up in Hawaii, Gabriel participated in surfing, sailing, wakeboarding and free diving, a skill he adopted from his late father, who passed away in an accident when Gabriel was 6. Being in the ocean makes Gabriel feel closer to his dad. Gabriel may have very few memories of his father, but if there's one lesson he has taken from him, it is to spend time doing the things he loves.
