Gabriel Bello | BIOWhi le most choose the i r paths in l i fe , Gabr ie l Be l lo c lear ly had no cho i ce: he was a lways meant to be noth ing less than a formidable mus i ca l force .

Gabriel ’s musical journey began in Lawrence, Massachusetts where Gabr ie l ’s Domin i can father, a percuss ion is t , he lped form h is son’s ear l iest mus i ca l memor ies . Ch i ldhood would later f ind Gabr ie l d i s cover ing h is own mus i c iansh ip when the fami ly moved to DeLand, F lor ida where Gabr ie l sang in church cho i rs and learned a range of inst ruments inc lud ing f lute , saxophone, and p iano. Outs ide of church , Gabr ie l mainta ined a steady d iet of h i s parents’ mus i ca l cu l ture coupled with the pop and jazz i cons of the day inc lud ing Michael Jackson, Grover Wash ington Jr. , S tev ie Wonder, Toto , Chuck Mangione, and Dav id Sanborn .

These mus i ca l gu ideposts led Gabr ie l to study mus i c at Lee Un ivers i ty in Tennessee, but a cancer d iagnos is , subsequent months of t reatment , and an eventual mi racu lous heal ing after p lay ing a concert wi th worsh ip art i s t Ron Kenoly set Gabr ie l on a new path to fu l l - t ime mus i c min i s t ry. Extens ive work with churches throughout the Southeast a l lowed Gabr ie l to hone h is inst rumenta l , voca l , and engineer ing abi l i t ies , sk i l l s which would serve h im wel l in h i s new dest inat ion : the Nashv i l le Mus i c scene.

Dur ing h is tenure in Nashv i l le , Gabr ie l p layed on and produced a number of sess ions for K ings Mounta in Records inc lud ing two No. 1 B i l lboard s ing les , C rysta l Dove’s “Unt i l You Come Back to Me” and Temar Underwood’s “ Ins ide Out .”

H i s Nashv i l le per iod a lso found Gabr ie l performing and co l laborat ing with a range of art i s ts inc lud ing Alv in S laughter, Gary Ol iver, Ron Kenoly, Geron Dav is , Chr i s t Church Cho i r, Jentzen Frank l in , and Rasca l F lat ts . Just before leav ing Nashv i l le to pursue a so lo career, Gabr ie l was a f ina l i s t to be mus i ca l d i rector for Amer i can Ido l winner Car r ie Underwood’s f i r s t tour and was a lso approached to be Kel l ie P i ck ler’s mus i ca l d i rector.

The path of the so lo art i s t has seen Gabr ie l br ing h is inconce ivable level of ta lent as a voca l i s t , mul t i - inst rumenta l i s t , composer, producer, and engineer to bear on a 20 1 1 se l f - t i t led debut that occup ied the No. 1 spot on the B i l lboard Smooth Jazz Charts for e leven weeks . Addi t ional ly, Gabr ie l ’s debut re lease unseated Michael Buble f rom the No. 1 spot on the B i l lboard Jazz Charts . Outs ide of h i s so lo career, Gabr ie l ’s ab i l i t ies have made h im an in-demand cho i r and worsh ip leader, earned h im a 2012 SESAC Honors Award for album sales and publishing, and found h im produc ing , mix ing , master ing , and performing with art i s ts l i ke Pastor James R . Adams and the Abounding L i fe Church of God in Chr i s t ’s on the i r re lease “T imes of Ref resh ing” which ranked fourth on the B i l lboard Gospel A lbums Chart .

Wi th a wealth of accompl i shments and acco lades behind h im in f ie lds spanning the mus i c indust ry and a host of genres , Gabr ie l Be l lo , a consummate performer, composer, and producer, cont inues to venture where h is ta lents and fa i th take h im.
