Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm Gabe Ceribelli, a 21 year old mashup artist from Maryland. I currently attending Goucher College in Towson, MD and study Economics and play D3 basketball here. I've always been a huge fan of the house music scene and have followed blogs since I was in 8th grade. However, as soon as I got into College I downloaded FL Studio and Audacity and began to mess around with the programs a little bit. Eventually, after a couple of beginning projects, I was on vacation in the summer and made a mashup called "Came To Escape" while I was on the beach. I was really exited about the way it turned out and started to get really good feedback on it from my buddies and even gained support from some bigger DJ's like The White Panda, Two Friends, and Trademark. The White Panda even played it at Firefly Music Festival in 2016 which was sick seeing videos in front of thousands of people vibing to it. That's when I was like, "Maybe this is something I should continue to mess around with." From then on, I started to try to put up more mash ups and make new stuff to see if I could pick up any momentum moving forward. I literally always listen to music, so whenever new tracks come out I try to get my hands on new instrumentals/ acapellas to see what I can put together.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Avicii. When I was in 9th grade I snuck into my first ever concert in which I had no business going to in NYC on NYE with my two older brothers. I'd never seen anything like it and immediately got hooked. He definitely still remains a huge influence since I love Progressive House but have allowed me to listen to more underground artists over the years. Guys like Vicetone, Mako, Dubvision, etc were all inspirations as well because of their melodic, progressive sound. Also, I never had even heard of a mashup before until my brother introduced me to The Super Mash bros years ago and that's where I thought I could try to start making some of my own.
What´s new right now?
My most recent mashup is called "Love Wolf (Hibell X Marshmello X ARR X Journey X Alesso)." It is out on Soundcloud and I have a ton of new material I've been working on. As far as upcoming gigs, I only have one for April 6th at the University of South Carolina for my boys fraternity which is going to be nuts. I don't have anything else planned because I'm in season for basketball, but plan to play a ton of gigs this Spring. It should hopefully be a big upcoming year in 2018. I have a couple of collaborations with other mashup artists in progress that I can't wait to finish up.
