THOSE WHO PERFORM SOMETHING

Selfmade Musician

Gabe Bondoc

Bay Area, California

Hello fam - Gabe here! I'm a Filipino American guitarist/singer/songwriter/dad from the Bay Area, California! I love telling stories and my most favorite way to do so is in song! When I'm not working on music, you can find me spending time with my family - our favorite things are doing embarrassing dances, making goofy faces and pretend wrestling until our faces hurt from laughing.

What does a Selfmade Musician do?

I get to share my stories (whether pretend or real life) through music with all the wonderful people around the world!

SENSITIVE • CREATIVE • DEDICATED

Top 3 — Why do you love being a Selfmade Musician?

Traveling the world with my family to experience different cultures!

Sharing stories

Sharing stories that (hopefully!) inspire, encourage and entertain!

Creating from nothing

What motivates / inspires you?

Listening to great music and talking to other artists about inspiration, discipline and the creative process!

What are you most proud of?

I am most proud when someone shares how my music affected them in a positive way!

What was your first dream job?

I still remember my parents driving me to my first musical performance... I was 16 years old. What a blessing to still be living this dream 20+ years later!

What other path would you have taken if not this one?

Before I pursued my musical dream, I wanted to go into biology - specifically, genetics!

What would you tell your younger self?

No matter what you do, where you go or what you decide, always remember that you are so incredibly loved. Pursue what is in your heart and remember that you can be anything!
