Artist Statement
I am a film and TV composer and session guitar player.
I draw influences from everywhere, starting with Pat Metheny and John Williams, and passing by Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Mike Stern, Bernard Hermann, Toto, Thomas Newman, and many more.
When it comes to recording and performing, I want to be your “all-in-one” guitar player. I aim to make your final product as close as possible to what you envisioned, and then bring a fierce energy to make music shine on stage. As far as composing, we will work hand in hand to add movie magic to the project YOU want to create.
​
Music has the power to create unforgettable memories. It has the power to create an experience that will last in our hearts and minds forever. It has the power to unite, protest, cure, express... It bears the power to make a moment freeze in time.
It is my most precious goal to give everything, and beyond, in order to unleash the magic and power that any project carries within.
Biography
Gabriel grew up in Bordeaux, France, and started learning the guitar at the age of 9 years old. He quickly fell in love with the instrument and started taking lessons with Jérôme Blanchet, an established blues and rock player who toured with artists such as Gérald De Palmas and performed at the national opera of Paris. Gabriel spent a lot of time playing with his father's GB band, where he played his first show at 10 years old in a restaurant, and started building repertoire in rock, pop, blues and jazz.
On his 17th birthday, Gabriel got the chance to attend the Berklee Valencia summer program, and got offered a scholarship to attend the College after his high school graduation a year later.
​When Gabriel first attended Berklee in 2021 he immediately started to play on records and perform at concerts. During his first year on campus, he managed to be selected to be part of the concert: "Singers Showcase:I am still standing - a Tribute to Elton John" one of the most selective events at the school.
​
He since then continued to take part in recording sessions, and performs regularly. Gabriel played in different venues including the City winery, Boston Calling, DROM NYC, Brandy Melville Studios NYC, House of Blues, MGM Fenway Hall, Cutting Room NYC, GBH radio etc.
He last year received the "Soren Christensen" award by the Berklee Screen Scoring Department, and got awarded 3rd price at the Pop-up Gala in Montréal for the score of the short movie "l'Accalmie" by Iana Brezeky.
​
Gabriel is currently continuing to express his love for music, by continuing to play and compose with the same burning passion as when he heard his first record.
