Biography

Gabriel Fetzner, known artistically as Gabre, is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who has been making waves in the indie pop scene. Born in the picturesque, mountainous city of Gramado in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, Gabre's upbringing in a region with strong European influences shaped his unique artistic perspective. He often sought out less-traveled paths, a sentiment that has permeated his music, creating a distinct sonic identity characterized by introspection and a connection to the everyday. Gabre's musical journey began with various cover bands, exploring genres from classic rock to emo, before he ventured into his solo career.

His first album, "Tocar em Flores Pelado," released in 2020, served as a candid portrayal of his youth in the Serra Gaúcha, touching upon themes of boredom, frustration, and personal confessions. This was followed by "Don't Rush Greatness" in 2023, which explored new experiences and a departure from a secure reality. Gabre's most recent work, "arquipélago de ilhas surdas" (2025), delves deeper into experimental indie pop, with samples forming the album's core and a careful balance between inspiration and technical precision. This album reflects the accumulation of small and large moments that have shaped his life over the past three years.

In 2020, Gabre decided to leave Brazil and relocate to Lisbon, Portugal, a move that coincided with the onset of the global pandemic. Despite the initial challenges of being in a new country during lockdown, he continued to develop his artistry. Gabre's music is often described as a reflection of his daily life, finding intrigue and depth in the ordinary. He has also embarked on tours in Brazil, connecting with his audience through his intense and relatable sound, drawing parallels to artists like Tim Bernardes for his introspective lyrical content and melodic sensibilities.
