Gabe Ziro, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter with a New York state of mind and a California heart, is making waves in the world of pop-punk with a fresh, cross-genre approach. With a musical journey that began at the age of 4, Gabe's proficiency spans multiple instruments such as drums, guitar, and piano, along with a compelling voice that has been honed through formal instruction.
Gabe's musical influences are as diverse as they are contemporary, drawing inspiration from pop standouts like Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, newcomer Joshua Bassett, and the neo-pop-punk push of MGK. This eclectic mix of inspiration is the secret sauce behind Gabe's unique sound, which effortlessly bridges the gap between tender, touching bedroom pop and the adrenaline-fueled intensity of skate-park style punk. It's where pop-punk meets modern pop craftsmanship and songwriting.
One distinctive element of Gabe's music is his focus on lyrics, taking a more introspective and relatable approach. He dives into themes surrounding relationships, love, loss, and mental health, resonating with listeners who find solace and connection in his raw, open, and honest narratives. With the growing prevalence of mental health issues, Gabe aims to use his music as a medium for understanding and empathizing with people, meeting them right where they are. He’s looking to showcase this further with his upcoming singles, and plans for a full-length album out by end of 2024.
While Gabe is a fresh face in the music industry, he's poised to make a lasting impact. Happy Mag magazine said of the pop-punk revival and Gabe:
"The genre is enjoying a deserved renaissance in recent years, and Ziro breathes new life into pop-punk with his own range of stylistic choices.”
Gabe is an active presence on social media (350k + likes on TikTok), striving to personally connect with his fans and followers, making his music not just a sound but a shared experience.
In his own words, Gabe hopes that through his music, people can find moments of recognition, a reflection of their own thoughts and feelings, and a means to either connect further or let go and leave them behind. With a passion for making music that's as invigorating as it is heartfelt, Gabe Ziro is the artist to watch, ready to inspire and soundtrack the experiences of a new generation
