Gabe Saporta

Gabe is a fast talker in a good way. A busy multitasker always hyping his new project. A lanky, goofy, talented Jew.

I met him when i was much younger when his former band Midtown was touring with my friends in New Found Glory or River City High - we became pretty good buddies and have stayed that way for years. When i decided to manage Cartel two and a half years ago he was the first person i called for advice about the music business - he had seen the good and bad and was always willing to help.

We were in a bar in New York City a few months back when he told me about "Snakes On A Plane." He said he had something new and it was going to be BIG, he went on to descirbe shooting a video in an airport with Samuel L. Jackson. WHAT THE FUCK ? Why was Gabe kicking it with everyones favorite Kangol wearing celebrity ? I heard the song he wrote a few times in Atlanta before i realized that is was what he told me about. I was in LA and heard it again on Indie 103 and they went on to mention whos project it was. My mind was blown - the song was a fucking HIT - everywhere i turned i heard, it couldnt be escaped. The video began airing and i watched Gabe and his scarf strut through an airport while Samuel L. Jackson looked on. He was right - it was going to be BIG.
