From his angelic tones to soulful beat boxing, Gabriel’s heartfelt and earthy sound comes through his music. As a multi-instrumentalist, he uses loop pedals, his voice, wind instruments, crystal bowls, percussion, harmonium and guitar to create experiences for people to celebrate the human spirit. He is devoted to sharing his music through solo performances, sound baths and a variety of collaborations with other soulful musicians.

I help creative, connected people strengthen their
ability to meet life head on:

– Clarify your life’s vision
                         – Set simple achieveable goals                            – Create balance in your life
     – Learn to make the most of your journey

For last 13 years I have been working in rehabilitation and recovery centers offering life coaching and sound healing. This has been one of the greatest ways I have been able to share my gifts and be of service to people who are hungry for positive change and results. I am amazed at how open and willing people are to do what it takes to heal and transform themselves from within.

If you are ready to live your life for YOU
and CREATE the life you want…

At 16 years old I went through one of the darkest times in my life. Disillusioned with the world and life as I knew it, I dropped out of school (and eventually went back) and gave up my dream to be a professional basketball player.

At 17, I walked into my first yoga class and during savasana (resting pose), Govindas and Radha Rosen’s music took me on a transcending and mystical journey of sound vibration. That’s when I realized that we are human instruments. Like any instrument, we too need regular tuning for all of our parts to function as a resonant whole.

At 18, I traveled to Guatemala and Peru on my own to do volunteer work. This total immersion into a new way of life popped the “American bubble”, forever changing my perspective on life. I experienced people with so little material wealth having so much richness inside.

A few years later, I met Olaf Hartmann, who through his involvement in movement, meditation and breathwork, helped me to experience my body as an instrument of healing. It was with him that I began to assist his guided breath work and sound healing journeys and was introduced to crystal bowls and the didgeridoo.

I then dived into the world of Kirtan and devotional music, studying bhakti yoga and classical Indian music with Sheela Bringi, Govindas Rosen and Saul David Raye, the yoga of guitar with Josh Brill, and shakuhachi and bansuri flute with Eric Vaughn.

At 26, Jesse Hanson and I started co-leading, Sonic Sanctuary sound healing events in Los Angeles and recorded our first album. Jesse has been an instrumental force in my life and career.

Soon after, Elijah Ray Lenhart took me on as a student of music and sound healing for 5 years. After working with Elijah, I continued my studies with one man orchestra and world music maestro, Porangui. It humbles me that as his career is taking off and his time is greatly limited, he continues to make the space to take me on as his student.

With the assistance of Syndee Stein and the teachings of Dance Alive, I realized that I no longer believe that I have to leave where I am to “find myself”. I continue to create movement and change in my life and more stability to stand my ground.

I offer sound healing and musical events at venues in the greater Los Angeles area and beyond. I also have been working as a life coach, hiking guide and sound meditation facilitator at recovery centers over the last 11 years and offer private sessions.

I also give thanks to my parents, Renee Schwartz and Michael Braun, Rich Kai Karou, Cass Phelps, Jan Berlin, Yogi David Shardon, Shimshai, Bobby McFerrin, Deepak Ramapriyan, Mandaza, Dreamingbear Kanaan, Emmanuel, Jacob Lee and Miguel Medina.
