Some people say music inspires, but I'd like to think voices inspire
as well; especially when their drenched in rich musical history. A history that
spans from the bayou’s of New Orleans, Louisiana to the Southern fried feel of
Atlanta, Georgia - ladies and gentlemen meet Gabe Lustman a'la Gabe and he is musical inspiration.
Gabe is not just a piece of music’s missing puzzle; he is a
revolutionary, he provokes epiphanies in anyone who listens to his music.
Perhaps it’s the excruciating honesty in his voice, which allows the listener to
realize he isn’t afraid to air his true feelings or maybe it’s his sultry
delivery and tone … whatever it is it awakens some of the those same truths inside anyone who is listening and reminds
us, “real music still exists.”

Gabe
Lustman, better known as GABE, born originally from New Orleans, LA, the
birthplace of Jazz and a great mixture of music, but currently resides
in Atlanta, GA.
Humming and singing melodies before he could talk, a sure indication of the direction his life was headed for.
Traveling
around the world with his family gave GABE a great perspective to
different cultures, rhythms and styles. The more he travel the more he
learned. His late father was a career Navy man who loved the sounds of
The Temptations, The Who and The Beatles, to name a few. GABE says,
"Listening to the pioneers of Pop/ R&B/ Rock influences was
captivating, uplifting and gave me a desire for expression."
After performing in a 9th
grade talent show, GABE decided to pursue a career in singing. He spent
6 hours a day in the bathroom with cassette tapes dubbed from his Dads
CD’s and Radio listening to The Temptations, The Backstreet Boys,
N'Sync, Michael Jackson, Prince, 98 degrees and Usher.
During
high school sporting events, GABE sang The National Anthem in front of
student faculty and peers. In 2006 he had his first collaboration with
Minneapolis Producer Ricky Oyaro and was introduced to studio
recording.
GABE has
been tagged as a genius at work. While pursuing his career he met
Minneapolis Pop Group LS3. While rehearsing with GABE singing lead to
one of LS3 songs acapella on the rooftop set of MTV's Top Pop Group,
Craig Ferguson overheard them singing and sent his Executive Producer
"Cole" out to ask them if they would be the musical guest to the Craig
Ferguson Late Late Show on CBS.
From
there this fantastic ride took him to collaborate with J.R. Rotem
(Beluga Heights), Kay Gee (Divine Mill), Jai (Nextwun) at this point it
was felt that GABE should be a solo artist, that’s when the persona of
GABE really appeared.
As a
solo artist, GABE had gained a wide audience of listeners, spectators
and attendees to attend his live shows and global appeal worldwide. This
prolific artist has been on tour with Chris Brown, Trey Songz and
Cherish.
GABE songs have been aired on radio in Minneapolis, Atlanta and Michigan.
GABE has appeared on internet radio stations here in America as well as France, London, Australia and many others stations.
GABE has
performed at Georgia State University, First Ave (Minneapolis), Café
290 (Atlanta) and released a mix tape with the help of production team
JDP Productions, recorded “The Take Off,” (2010) selling 2000 copies
independently in the first week and shortly after following up with
"State Of Emergency" (2011) accumulating over 100,000 downloads in the
first month of release. His most recent mix tape "The Memoirs" (2012)
is currently circulating the web on varies Music Blogs & Youtube.
GABE brands all of his songs by writing all of his own lyrics and melodies. Working with him is a musicians dream.
