My name is Gabriel, and I'm a professional musician who believes in the power of music. I'm passionate about the potential of music to bring people together and inspire positive change.
Throughout my life, I have been blessed with the opportunity to explore the world of music, study at renowned music schools and learn from talented & knowledgeable private teachers. Over the last 10 years I have developed a unique style that reflects my conscious path. I strive to create conscious music that will move people in a positive way and I'm looking forward to sharing it with the world.
​
Through my music, I hope to help listeners explore deeper levels of consciousness and to be inspired to start their own journey of discovery.
I invite you to join me on this journey and to explore the depths of conscious music.

TESTIMONIALS
​"I wanted to delve deeper into offering music-as-medicine spaces in my local community. I chose the training at Shakara because I knew I wanted to visit Costa Rica and learn. I loved the intimate, natural setting, and the size of our group, and all workshops exceeded my expectations. It was a wonderful mix of practical and deep-inner-work style workshops. I now have so much confidence and clarity in moving forward with my voice and space-holding capacities while being less encumbered by limiting beliefs. I sincerely highly recommend any of Shakara's offerings."
Steven F., Musician
"I would do this same training in a heartbeat - again and again! The people - teachers and students - made these days some of the most special of my life. the experience was memorable time together- learning, laughing, crying, sharing, releasing, discovering and eating.
The teachers are capable to transmit their knowledge in such an effortless genuine manner that all of us students were incredibly eager to learn. The setting was absolutely gorgeous and the food delicious!"
