Mozart Gabriel is a Native American folk, indie, and alternative rock artist based out of Nashville, TN, Barcelona, Spain, and the Taos Pueblo village in New Mexico. Mozart Gabriel arose from the waters of Taos Pueblo & Red Rocks of the Navajo To’hajiilee. From a village of powerful traditional singers, the red willow tribe gave him his name Mozart at birth. Gabriel writes all of his own songs, and would find it tough to perform somebody else’s songs, as he comes from a Native American family of great storytellers. Music for Mozart is his therapy, honesty, and vulnerability.
Gabriel grew up with no electricity or running water and he spent most of his time hunting for his own food, drinking from the river water, and building fires to keep warm. Mozart Gabriel has a different kind of perspective of survival. In his culture, they are taught to tell stories and songs to keep our culture alive, which is a very important aspect in his musical journey and career.
Mozart Gabriel wants to be able to share more of his culture, and bring the mainstream towards more Native American rock ‘n’ roll. Gabriel grew up a lot of his life not having many heroes that were Native American. He doesn’t want the younger generations of Native American artists to not have anyone to look up to. The amazing and vast history of his tribe has inspired his music, and he wants to help open the door for future indigenous dreamers.
