Here are some reviews on Gabriel Soriano:
"Gabe Soriano is a man of many instruments and many genre's. It would be extremely hard to pin one label or one genre to the man because he has made every effort to incorporate as many different styles of music into one glorious mix of instrumental heaven...not only is he a great musician, he is also one of the most ambitious independent musicians playing today... Gabe Soriano is a great example of true musical talent, mixing incredible musicianship with great songwriting, that has set him above the rest of many of today's popular musicians." -The New Acoustic Society
"'Into The Noise' carries on his unique tradition of being able to craft melodic brilliance straight from the ether. His live shows still allow him to create live percussion loops, and layer that with bass, piano and guitar loops before adding vocals for a live show unlike anything you've ever seen!" - Fuzz Installment

Hello, my name is Gabriel Soriano and I was born to play music. It is my passion, my love, my redemption, my strength, and my creation. My goal is to work with a label that cares about releasing quality music and supporting artists to be career musicians, not cheeky one-hit-wonders. Here's some info about me:
As an independent artist I have self-recorded and self-released 3 CD's: "Demo 2005" (my first demo), "Into The Noise" (my first EP), and most recently "The Love Juice Sessions" (my second EP, currently available for free download through my website and myspace, physical copy to be released August of 08). I play all the instruments and sing all the vocals on my albums. I’ve booked and played over 250 shows in the last three years including two self-funded tours. I currently perform as a one man band, using a loop station (BOSS RC-50) that allows me to create live loops of guitar, bass, vocals, percussion, keys, and saxophone into layers of sound. My music can generally be described as blues, funk, jazz, soul, reggae, latin, and rock. I use no backing tracks or CD's of any kind other than a metronome when playing live. I build the song piece by piece in front of the audience, often times pulling people out of the crowd to give them cowbells and shakers and help me build a loop.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have played in many bands in many positions: guitar, drums, bass, vocals, etc... this experience has turned me into a multi-instrumentalist and a singer/songwriter. I love everything from Sinatra to Slayer but my favorite music in the world is blues, funk, soul, and rock. I love to write and play all types of music from metal to jazz. And, in no particular order, my top 5 bands are Pink Floyd, Dave Matthews Band, Radiohead, Thrice, and The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. Ok that’s six.
I'm currently booking a fall tour to promote "The Love Juice Sessions" that will begin in September and end in December. Dates and locations will be announced August with the pressing of the CD and the release show. If you like what you hear in the player, then you can purchase my CD’s through my website at www.gabesoriano.com or through iTunes. Come by and see me at a show, and if not, then I’ll burn down your house. Just kidding. Kind of... ..
