Elyes Gabel knows there is a sort of magic in a live performance. His long-established YouTube Channel showcases his passion for music. His homemade videos provide glimpses into who he truly is. Paired with nothing but his acoustic guitar in many of the videos, he shares his passion with the world. His single was performed in Los Angeles and featured Glenn Holdaway and Koi Anunta. This track will be available on March 24th, 2023.
Gabel considers his music to be an expression of his love for deep emotions that can be shared universally. While he can claim many titles, he prides himself most as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist. The song Lacuna features Gabel on the guitar, Koi Anunta on the violin, and Glenn Holdaway on the trumpet. The chemistry they bring to this live performance adds to the soulful nature of the song itself. The song title Lacuna means an unfilled space and was written by Gabel at the end of 2022. The song starts with a fingerpicking guitar riff that allows for those unfilled spaces to be filled again with music.
In addition to his solo career, Elyes Gabel fronts for the band El & The Broken Bones. Followers of his website continue to see hints of a major music project he’s been working on for years. His music often highlights his love for indie blues-rock folk music. In recent interviews, he has made it clear to his fans that while the world of acting has been kind to him, he plans on making music his main focus in 2023.
Elyes Gabel was born May 8th, 1983, in Westminster, London, as well as spent time in Canada. As a musician, he is known for his sultry voice that possesses a light northern accent. His actual heritage is diverse, including countries such as Ireland, France, India, Spain, Algeria, Portugal, and the Netherlands. This diverse background allows him to pull inspiration from multiple cultures. This gives his music a uniqueness that isn’t often seen. While music was a long-standing passion, it was acting that would first give him an official outlet for his creativity. He was raised Roman Catholic, attending St Damian’s Roman Catholic Science College at 16. By 18, he made the decision to pursue a career in acting. This proved to be a fruitful pursuit as his recognition and quality of roles continued to improve. He gained recognition from his portrayal of Dr. Gurpreet “Guppy” Sandhu in Casualty, a BBC medical drama. He has received praise for his roles in Scorpion and the popular hit series Game of Thrones. His most recent role was Sean Tilson in the suspense-thriller Suspicion.
