Gabriel is an actor/musician. He studied at The University of North Carolina where he earned a BFA in Drama. Once he moved to New York he felt a major calling to his other love, music. He has been writing and recording diligently ever since.

He now has over 30 original songs as well as the ones he wrote for Brilliance.

He will be dropping these songs this year under the stage name, Hazee. Working on Brilliance has been such a pleasure, exploring a different direction of songwriting.

He never saw himself doing musical theatre but the joys of helping to create the score were well worth the leap. The amazing cast and crew have made the transition back to stage so much easier.

Love.
