Gabriel Severn Archives

Gabriel Severn just sent us a video he created along with Federico Malaman, Nick Campbell, Moto Fukushima, and Noah Denton (with some help from Israel Strom on keys). It is short, but it is sweet.

Gabriel Severn’s mom Vivian reached out to me with a new video. In this clip, Gabriel explores another looping creation and using different bass notes under simple chords. We’re digging this sound!

During this year’s NAMM Show, I had a great chat with Gabriel Severn and his dad. His dad said that at a very early age, Gabriel was super interested in the music of Jaco Pastorius. So it wasn’t a surprise when his mom sent me this video of Gabriel performing “Donna Lee.”

Bassist Gabriel Severn took a backing track called “Fusion Express” from Free Drumless Tracks and added a bass part. He decided it would sound better with a drummer, so he brought in Vinnie Aguas. These guys a bringing it!

Gabriel Severn is a 13-year-old bassist who has been blowing people away on the social web. Here’s a video featuring Gabriel tearing it up on the tune “Caravan,” with 16-year-old Logan Sheppard on drums on The Urban Renewal Project Horn Section. Watch out world!

I’ve seen Gabriel Severn show up on Facebook more and more lately. And it is no surprise. The 12-year-old bassist is playing well beyond his years. In this clip, Gabriel takes on Adam Nitti’s “Not of This World.” Watch out world!
