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). I play all the instruments and sing all the vocals on my albums. I’ve booked and played over 350 shows in the last three years including three self-funded/self-booked 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 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 recently moved to Santa Barbara to begin collaborating and performing with “Wrong Again”. You can check them out at www.myspace.com/wrongagainsb. Plans for 2009 include two more tours, and hopefully the release of my live cd/dvd featuring tour footage from all 3 tours. 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.
