Gabriel Morales is a Venezuelan-American guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer based in Brooklyn, NY. As an instrumentalist, Gabriel has performed and recorded with numerous internationally acclaimed musicians and bands such as Snarky Puppy, Michael League, Kassa Overall, Cory Henry, Ben Williams, Lil’ John Roberts, Robert “Sput” Searight, Jamey Haddad, Larnell Lewis, Jay Ashby, Lucy Woodward, Carla Canales, Becca Stevens, Nathan Schram, The Jamie McLean Band, Banda Magda, Darrell Scott, Matt Schofield, and Arun Ramamurthy, among others.  Pulling on influences ranging from electric blues and jazz to contemporary composition and Latin-American folk, the work Gabriel creates as a solo artist rejects strict categorization. His writing is rooted in the blues, while exploring a wider harmonic and rhythmic palette paired with modern songwriting sensibilities. Going in hand with these aesthetic choices, his work deals with themes of identity, change, and perception. In 2023, Gabriel worked as an instrumentalist with artists such as Butterfly Black (Ben Williams, Syndee Winters, along with BIGYUKI and Jharis Yokley), Kassa Overall, and SIRINTIP. Passionate about music and arts advocacy, Gabriel has worked with non-for-profits and organizations such as The Canales Project, Music Lab at Jefferson Center, Education Through Music (New York), Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, Oberlin Center for the Arts, and Taubman Museum of Art.
