He experimented with vocal collaborations for a time before carving out his current sound which is 100% his own, in a literal sense – he is its sole writer, producer, and performer. Gabriel put out a series of independent releases from 2016-2019 which have together accumulated over 11M streams on Spotify alone, garnering support from tastemakers like Majestic Casual and landing on coveted editorial playlists like “Fresh Finds.”
- Musically, though, the Knapsack project felt stagnant – he wanted to reinvent himself and drop a project that would truly reflect his story and sonic progress. Following an 11-month hiatus, The buzz of a lifetime, his 10-track LP, is that project.
- “I think it’s about coming of age,” says Gabriel of his debut album. He continues, “I mean it’s sort of about a breakup, sort of about all my dreams with this music stuff, sort of about growing up. It’s all abstract, though. I took a lot of camping trips with my family growing up, and I found myself romanticizing that a lot. The buzz is definitely supposed to bring you to that place, I think I’m just starting to understand what my roots mean.”
- Speaking on the album’s first single – but the project in its entirety, too – he explains: “[the song is] a realization that you can only convince yourself it’s okay for so long. You gotta let go. Everybody breaks down. ‘twelve degrees’ is a thesis. I wanted guitars in my music like this for so long. I wanted to combine styles and genres.
