Gabe 'Nandez

Born Gabriel Fernandez in White Plains, New York, to a Malian mother and an Argentine father, ‘Nandez has never belonged to one place or culture. His father, a UN worker, took positions around the world, from Abu Dis in Palestine to Port-au-Prince in Haiti; the family would follow him. ‘Nandez’s first musical love was rock, and his entrance into performing music was through the guitar, where he idolized legends like Jimi Hendrix.
