Gabriel with Petra (2024)
Gabriel as an opener for Petra
The second eldest in a family of nine kids, and homeschooled right through high school, Gabriel’s musical journey began early but took a transformative turn early in 2021. After hitting rock bottom, he experienced a rekindling of faith—sparking a new chapter in his songwriting and spiritual journey. Since then, his music has become a vessel for hope, healing, and truth. With songs that come from deep within his own heart and experiences, Gabriel’s lyrics are raw, real, and sometimes brutally honest, all the while maintaining a message of hope and pointing to Jesus at every turn.
Whether performing intimate acoustic sets or dynamic loop-driven shows, Gabriel brings raw sincerity and a refreshing energy to every stage. He’s shared the spotlight with legendary Christian acts like Petra in 2024, and Sanctus Real in 2025, steadily building a reputation as an emerging voice in the Christian music world.
Outside of music, Gabriel finds joy in the wilderness of Northwestern Ontario, and spends most of his free time doing backcountry canoe trips, hunting, fishing, and playing pond hockey. His down-to-earth lifestyle and heartfelt storytelling reflect a deep connection both to Creator and creation. In his own words, he’s “just a kid from the bush who loves music. And loves Jesus even more”.
