He has always been into music. Influenced mainly by his father, who was a DJ, and his mother, who was a singer; he describes music as being in his DNA. After attending college he realized that he wanted to sharpen his skills in audio engineering, so he attended Living Arts College, where he learned how to record, mix and master from some of the best in the business! Well-versed in recording principals and computer audio recording programs such as Pro Tools and Logic, Gabriel landed a position as an audio engineer for the Blue Man Group in New York. During his tenure, he gained extensive knowledge of live mixing and large format recording consoles. While in New York he also developed extensive industry experience as he worked with DJ Pauly D to record “Night Of My Life” (theme song for Pauly D's MTV reality show), Dash (Epic Records), Shontelle (Republic Records), Che'nelle (EMI, Japan), and Jacob Latimore (RCA Records). This experience gave Gabriel a professional perspective and created active awareness of industry trends. From the beginning, a wealth of talented audio professionals and accomplished instructors were the source of inspiration as Gabriel set his sights on building a successful career in the music industry. He enjoys motivating and inspiring others, so teaching became a logical choice. Just as his instructors were there to guide him, Gabriel likes to help others achieve their goals. More importantly, he believes that as we teach, we also learn. The journey continues.
