“The music I put out will change the way people listen to music” says Charleston SC’s own Gabriel Oree. South Carolina is known for its history in regards to racism, slavery, and the belief in the Confederacy, but music? “This album will not be about any of those things, however, I used & exposed some of the principles behind it to inform, then transform the listener.” Although this will be the very first album that he has come out with, Gabriel is no stranger to the world of music. Connecting with Slick Salt Entertainment in ’07, he landed the second single from Trina’s album "Still the Baddest",08’ entitled "I Gotta Thang" feat. Keisha Cole, which debuted on BET’s 106 & park. From there, he landed on Trick Daddy’s ‘09 album entitled “Finally Famous” with the song “That’s How We Do It” feat. Betty Wright. “I’ve been very fortunate and blessed with the opportunity to work with tons of talented artist from many different backgrounds.” Gabriel Oree was born in Charleston SC, and grew up in a small town called Adams Run. Growing up in his father’s church, he discovered his gift in music at the age of 7. By the late 90’s Gabriel a.k.a. "Kane da Kameleon", and fellow military buddy Shawnga Glen b.k.a. "Da ill-One", signed with an independent record label out of Newark NJ. “New Jersey is where I learned how to become a "producer" and it opened me up to a world of talented artist, producers, and songwriters”, says Gabriel with Lil Mo being one of the artists that he has worked with. “I became a sponge and started soaking up everything I could learn while in NJ, especially being in the studio with some of the greatest engineers & producers out there, like “Young Guru” who at that time and still today is Jay-Z’s engineer.” This influence from top professionals in the music industry helped set a standard that would define him, his sound, and his capabilities in music today. The title of his upcoming project is called “Ekklesia” and it is the Greek word for what is called “church” in English. “I believe that it is important to get the original meaning or definitions of words, because what you say and I say may be the same, but interpreted very differently based on how we conceptualize the word.” Being co-owner of his own company, Timeless Sounds, LLC, he not only produces music, but he also mix & masters, writes, negotiate deals and every other facet that involves the music industry. “Not that I want to do all of those things, as they are all jobs in itself, but when you’re pressing towards what drives or motivates you (your gift), most times in the beginning, you are the only believer in yourself and are forced to wear many hats which, a lot of times, crosses into the other. The benefit of doing this, however, is that you learn what each area sort of deals with, and when you do get your team or representation, you can effectively relay to them where you want to go, and can know if they’re helping you get there.” This album is expected to be released August of 2015, and we should hear a single in January 2015! His passion for music is the driving force behind the engine within him, growing tremendously as a producer, and a leader in his field. In time, people will see, that this is just the beginning of a fruitful journey for him.
