About Me

my name is gabe.
i live long beach with joey . He's a good roommate.

I work at whole foods in redondo beach as the "back-up singmaker/ssi", which i would go into explaining, but it's not all that exciting.

I have been dating the lovely Ivy Butters for about 4 years, but it doesn't seem nearly that long.

I study english lit at cal state dominguez hills. I'm getting my minor in philosophy. My main goal is to go and and study and teach all the french faggots (proust, gide, sartre...etc).

I run a small record label with my best friends. We're coming up on 11 releases, and we've had the opportunity to work with some really inspiring artists.
