Gabriels

About

Gabriels is the kind of act that feels like a revelation—a soulful, genre-defying trio that blends gospel, R&B, and cinematic orchestration into a sound that’s both timeless and utterly modern. Comprising vocalist Jacob Lusk, keyboardist Ryan Hope, and violinist Ari Balouzian, the Los Angeles-based group has carved out a space where raw emotion meets meticulous artistry. Lusk’s voice, a powerhouse of vulnerability and strength, anchors their music, while Hope and Balouzian’s lush arrangements create a soundscape that feels expansive and intimate all at once. Emerging in 2020 with their debut EP *Love and Hate in a Different Time*, Gabriels quickly garnered critical acclaim, with Elton John hailing the title track as “one of the most seminal records I’ve heard in the last ten years.” Their music draws from gospel’s spiritual fervor, R&B’s sensuality, and the dramatic flair of film scores, creating a sound that defies easy categorization. Their 2022 debut album *Angels & Queens* further solidified their reputation, showcasing their ability to weave personal narratives into universal themes of love, loss, and redemption. Gabriels’ cultural impact lies in their ability to bridge the sacred and the secular, creating music that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. They’ve collaborated with artists like Harry Styles and performed on prestigious stages, including Glastonbury and Coachella. Currently, they’re working on new material, continuing to push boundaries while staying true to their soul-stirring roots.
